    Abstract Context: The diagnosis of osteoporosis and assessment of fracture risk prior to a sentinel fracture was transformed by the widespread clinical use of dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) for the assessment of bone mineral density (BMD).
    Evidence acquisition: This review is based on a collection of primary and review literature gathered from a PubMed search of "dual energy X-ray absorptiometry," "trabecular bone score," and "atypical femur fracture" among other keywords. PubMed searches were supplemented by the authors' prior knowledge of the subject.
    Evidence synthesis: While uncertainty exists for some aspects of osteoporosis care, patient and clinician familiarity with BMD assessment for screening and monitoring is firmly established. Beyond BMD, lateral spine images obtained with DXA can diagnose osteoporosis and refine fracture risk through the detection of unrecognized vertebral fractures. In addition, analysis of DXA lumbar spine images can reflect changes in trabecular bone microarchitecture, a component of bone "quality" that predicts risk of fracture independent of BMD. Finally, monitoring of bone health by DXA may be extended to include assessment of the femoral cortices for rare but serious adverse effects associated with antiresorptive therapies.
    Conclusions: Increasing technologic sophistication requires additional consideration for how DXA imaging is performed, interpreted and applied to patient care. As with any test, clinicians must be familiar with DXA performance, pitfalls in analysis, and interpretation within each clinical context in which DXA is applied. With this perspective, care providers will be well positioned to contribute to continuous improvement of DXA performance and, in turn, quality of osteoporosis care.

    Abstract Osteoporosis is a systemic skeletal disorder characterized by bone loss, which leads to impaired bone strength and an increased risk of fractures. Two million fractures are attributed to osteoporosis annually in the United States and they are associated with serious morbidity and mortality. Bisphosphonates reduce the risk of fracture by suppressing bone resorption and increasing bone strength, and they have been widely used for the prevention and treatment of osteoporosis. However, the use of these drugs for the management of osteoporosis remains a clinical challenge. There are several important considerations including appropriate patient selection, pretreatment evaluation, potential adverse effects, patient preferences, and adherence. This review will discuss the evidence informing the clinical strategy for using bisphosphonates in patients with osteoporosis and those at high risk of fracture, focusing on the benefits and risks of treatment. We will also consider issues related to the monitoring and duration of treatment.

    Abstract Background: Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) is associated with short- and mid-term type 2 diabetes (T2D) remission. Long-term outcomes and predictive parameters associated with remission following RYGB have not been well elucidated.
    Objective: Determining the overall long-term T2D remission rates following RYGB and identifying predictive variables associated with remission.
    Setting: Multicentered study including patients who underwent RYGB at 3 tertiary referral centers for bariatric surgery.
    Methods: We performed a retrospective cohort study between 2008-2017 to allow a minimum of 5 years of follow-up. We evaluated long-term T2D remission rates and annual T2D clinical and metabolic parameters up to 14 years after surgery. Predictors of remission were assessed using multivariate logistic regression. Patients were divided into 4 groups based on quartiles of total body weight loss percentage (%TBWL) to compare remission rates between groups.
    Results: A total of 815 patients were included (68.9% female, age 52.1 ± 11.5 yr; body mass index 45.1 ± 7.7 kg/m
    Conclusions: Longer duration and higher severity of T2D were negatively associated with remission while higher %TBWL had a positive association. A significant proportion of patients in all quartiles experienced long-term remission after RYGB with a greater likelihood of remission correlated with greater weight loss.

    Abstract Study design: Retrospective cohort study.
    Objective: Hounsfield units (HUs) are known to correlate with clinical outcomes, no study has evaluated how they correlate with BCT and DXA measurements.
    Summary of background: Low bone mineral density (BMD) represents a major risk factor for fracture and poor outcomes following spine surgery. Dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry (DXA) can provide regional BMD measurements but has limitations. Opportunistic HUs provide targeted BMD estimates; however, they are not formally accepted for diagnosing osteoporosis in current guidelines. More recently, biomechanical computed tomography (BCT) analysis has emerged as a new modality endorsed by the International Society for Clinical Densitometry (ISCD) for assessing bone strength.
    Methods: Consecutive cases from 2017-2022 at a single institution were reviewed for patients who underwent BCT in the thoracolumbar spine. BCT-measured vertebral strength, trabecular BMD, and the corresponding American College of Radiology (ACR) Classification were recorded. DXA studies within three months of the BCT were reviewed. Pearson Correlation Coefficients were calculated, and receiver-operating characteristic curves were constructed to assess the predictive capacity of HUs. Threshold analysis was performed to identify optimal HU values for identifying osteoporosis and low BMD.
    Results: Correlation analysis of 114 cases revealed a strong relationship between HUs and BCT vertebral strength (r=0.69; P<0.0001; R2=0.47) and trabecular BMD (r=0.76; P<0.0001; R2=0.58). However, DXA poorly correlated with opportunistic HUs and BCT measurements. HUs accurately predicted osteoporosis and low BMD (Osteoporosis: C=0.95, 95% CI 0.89-1.00; Low BMD: C=0.87, 95% CI 0.79-0.96). Threshold analysis revealed that 106 and 122 HUs represent optimal thresholds for detecting osteoporosis and low BMD.
    Conclusion: Opportunistic HUs strongly correlated with BCT-based measures, while neither correlated strongly with DXA-based BMD measures in the thoracolumbar spine. HUs are easy to perform at no additional cost and provide accurate BMD estimates at non-instrumented vertebral levels across all ACR-designated BMD categories.

    Abstract Purpose of review: To briefly review recent work within the vitamin D and cancer field, whereas also providing context relating how these findings may impact clinical care and future research efforts.
    Recent findings: Vitamin D has now been convincingly shown both in vitro and in preclinical animal models to alter the differentiation, proliferation, and apoptosis of cancer cells. Whether vitamin D prevents cancer in humans or limits cancer progression, however, remain open questions. Epidemiologic and observational data relating circulating 25(OH)D levels and cancer risk suggest an inverse relationship for most cancers including breast, colorectal, leukemia and lymphoma, and prostate, although for each malignancy there also exist studies that have failed to demonstrate such an inverse relationship. Likewise, a more recent report failed to confirm a previously reported association of increased pancreatic cancer risk in patients with higher 25(OH)D levels. A large prospective study in which patients aged at least 50 years receive 2000 IU vitamin D3 daily for 5 years, with cancer as a primary endpoint, has recently been launched.
    Summary: Although much effort has attempted to delineate a causal relationship between vitamin D and a wide array of human cancers, we await large-scale randomized controlled trial data for definitive answers.
