Article Abstract
Simple bone cysts (SBCs) are rare benign intraosseous lesions typically discovered incidentally during radiographic examinations. This report presents two cases of mandibular SBCs in young North African males. The first case involved a 15-year-old with an asymptomatic radiolucent lesion between teeth 44 and 45, incidentally found after dental trauma. The second case concerned a 22-year-old with a swelling and a separate asymptomatic radiolucent lesion extending from tooth 34 to 38. In both cases, imaging revealed well-defined unilocular lesions with scalloped borders and no cortical expansion. Surgical exploration uncovered empty bone cavities containing minimal serosanguinous fluid. Histopathological analysis confirmed the diagnosis of SBCs by identifying fibrous connective tissue lacking epithelial lining. Both patients underwent successful surgical curettage. These cases underscore the importance of radiographic, clinical, and histological correlation in diagnosing SBCs and highlight surgical exploration as both diagnostic and therapeutic. Accurate recognition is essential to avoid unnecessary aggressive treatment.

Causal Relationship Between Sjögren's Syndrome and Atherosclerosis: A Bidirectional, Two-Sample, Mendelian Randomization Study.

Background: There is growing evidence that Sjögren's syndrome (SS) and atherosclerosis (AS) might share underlying immunological and inflammatory processes. Observational data have pointed toward a potential association between SS and a heightened likelihood of developing AS, though the causal direction and specific dynamics of this relationship have not been clearly verified. This Mendelian randomization (MR) investigation opts to investigate potential bidirectional causality between SS and three types of AS: coronary, cerebral, and peripheral.

Objective: To identify distinct phenotypes of acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) developing after hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT), using routinely available clinical data at ICU admission.
Design: Multicenter retrospective cohort study using latent class analysis.
Setting: ICUs across three Mayo Clinic campuses (Minnesota, Florida, and Arizona).
Unlabelled: Dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry (DXA)-derived areal bone mineral density (BMD) remains the clinical standard for assessing osteoporosis risk, yet it fails to identify over 75% of individuals who sustain fragility fractures. Direct in vivo mechanical assessment of cortical bone strength may address this diagnostic gap by capturing structural and material properties that govern whole-bone strength but are not reflected by BMD. We conducted a multicenter case-control study with cross-sectional assessment to compare ulna flexural rigidity, a biomechanical property correlated with whole-bone strength (R² ≈ 0.

Objective: To investigate the association between thyroid hormone sensitivity indices and bone metabolism markers in newly diagnosed middle-aged and elderly type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) patients with normal thyroid function.
Method: We retrospectively analyzed 350 newly diagnosed T2DM patients (≥ 45 years), stratified by bone mineral density into Group A (normal bone density group) and Group B (low bone mass and osteoporosis group). General data and clinical biochemical parameters were collected: free triiodothyronine (FT3), free thyroxine (FT4), thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH), 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25(OH)D), parathyroid hormone (PTH), osteocalcin (OC), bone-specific alkaline phosphatase (BALP), serum calcium (Ca), serum phosphorus (P), fasting plasma glucose (FPG), glycosylated hemoglobinA1c (HbA1c), total cholesterol (TC), triglyceride (TG), low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C), serum creatinine (SCr), serum uric acid (SUA), and estimated Glomerular Filtration Rate (eGFR).
Strontium alginate hybrid (inorganic/organic) nanoparticles as a novel promising nanosystem for bone regeneration: in-vitro optimization and in-vivo assessment.

Strontium (Sr) is a bone-seeking element characterized by its dual function of stimulating bone growth and preventing bone resorption. On the other hand, alginates (Alg) have distinct physicochemical characteristics from other natural polysaccharides because of their ability to encapsulate proteins and drugs. This work aimed to prepare novel hybrid inorganic/organic strontium alginate (Sr-Alg) nanoparticles for use as a targeting ligand in bone regeneration.
