    Abstract Posterior cortical atrophy (PCA) and logopenic variant primary progressive aphasia (LvPPA) are considered early-onset dementias most commonly caused by Alzheimer pathology. PCA is characterized by a progressive decline in higher order visual processing functions, whereas LvPPA is a form of primary progressive aphasia. The clinical presentation of both syndromes is typically earlier in life relative to the more typical "amnestic" form of Alzheimer disease. Prominent language deficits have been well described in PCA. Here, we describe the case of a 56-year-old man presenting with overlapping anatomic, clinical, and cognitive features of PCA and LvPPA and review the existing literature relating to the clinical features shared by these conditions, exploring the etiology, and implications for clinical practice in cases with a PCA-LvPPA overlap syndrome. In PCA, atrophy occurs in temporoparietal-occipital regions, whereas in LvPPA atrophy occurs at the temporoparietal junctions, with left-sided predominance. A defective phonological loop (a short-term storage system which holds speech sounds in memory for 1 to 2 s) seems to underlie the logopenic syndrome in both conditions. Other parietal lobe deficits, in proximity to both language and visual processing areas, such as dyscalculia and ideomotor apraxia are also commonly found in both conditions. We suspect that cases with an overlap PCA-LvPPA syndrome are relatively underreported which may relate to the fact that these cases occur on a spectrum depending on the stage of disease progression and do not easily fit into strict diagnostic categories according to existing criteria of PCA and LvPPA, respectively.

    Abstract Approximately 50% of Americans use dietary supplements on a regular basis spending an estimated $20 billion on supplements in the year 2000. Soy contains genistein and daidzein, two phytoestrogens, which work through the estrogen receptor and cause alterations in serum lipids, bone metabolism, and possibly cognition. In this article, we review the issues regarding the interpretation with studies using soy-based isoflavones, discuss their mechanism of action, and review the literature on the effect of these bio-active compounds on lipid metabolism, osteoblasts and osteoclasts, bone markers, bone mineral density, and cognition.

    Abstract Objectives: Emerging evidence supports sequential therapy with anabolic followed by antiresorptive in patients at high-risk of fragility fractures. This study assessed the cost-effectiveness of sequential treatment with abaloparatide (ABL) followed by alendronate (ALN) [(ABL/ALN)] compared to ALN monotherapy and to sequential treatment starting with antiresorptive therapy (ALN/ABL/ALN).
    Methods: A previously validated Markov microsimulation model was used to estimate the cost-effectiveness of sequential ABL/ALN compared to ALN monotherapy and to sequential ALN/ABL/ALN from a lifetime US payer perspective. In line with practice guidelines, patients were assumed to receive ABL for 18 months followed by 5 years of ALN, or ALN monotherapy for 5 years, or a sequence of ALN for 2 years followed by 18 months of ABL and then by 3 years ALN. Evaluation was conducted for patients aged 50-80 years old with a BMD T-score ≤-3.5 and without a history of prior fracture, or with a T-score between -2.5 and -3.5 and a history of ≥ 1 osteoporotic fracture.
    Results: Sequential ABL/ALN was cost-effective (threshold of US$150,000 per QALY) vs generic ALN monotherapy in women ≥60 years with a BMD T-score ≤-3.5 and in women with BMD T-score between -2.5 and -3.5 and history of osteoporotic fracture. In all simulated populations, sequential ABL/ALN therapy was dominant (lower costs, more QALYs) compared with sequential ALN/ABL/ALN, resulting from limited effect of ABL in patients previously treated with an antiresorptive agent.
    Conclusions: Sequential ABL/ALN therapy is cost-effective vs ALN monotherapy for US postmenopausal women aged ≥60 years at increased risk of fractures.

    Abstract Objectives: There is emerging evidence supporting sequential therapy with an osteoanabolic followed by an antiresorptive in patients at high-risk of fragility fractures. This study assessed the cost-effectiveness of sequential treatment with abaloparatide (ABL) followed by alendronate (ALN) [(ABL/ALN)] compared with teriparatide (TPTD) followed by ALN (TPTD/ALN).
    Methods: A previously validated Markov microsimulation model was adapted to estimate the cost-effectiveness of sequential ABL/ALN compared with sequential TPTD/ALN and no treatment with a lifetime horizon from the US payer perspective. Patients were assumed to receive ABL or TPTD for 18 months followed by 5 years of ALN in line with clinical recommendations. The effects of ABL on fracture risk were derived from the ACTIVExtend trial. The effects of TPTD were assumed to be maintained during subsequent ALN treatment, consistent with ACTIVExtend findings for ABL. Evaluation was completed for patients, aged 50-80 years with a BMD T-score ≤ -3.5 or with a T-score between -2.5 and -3.5 and a history of ≥ one osteoporotic fracture.
    Results: In all simulated populations, sequential ABL/ALN therapy was dominant (lower costs, higher QALYs) compared with sequential TPTD/ALN therapy, resulting from the improved efficacy and lower drug price of ABL. Probabilistic sensitivity analyses suggested that ABL/ALN was dominant in at least 99% of the simulations. Compared to no treatment, the cost per QALY gained of ABL/ALN was always below $130,000.
    Conclusions: Sequential ABL/ALN therapy is a cost-effective (dominant) strategy compared with sequential TPTD/ALN therapy for the treatment of US women at increased risk of fractures.

    Abstract Abaloparatide is a selective activator of the parathyroid hormone type 1 receptor signaling pathway that favors the stimulation of bone formation. Here, we report a prospective, exploratory analysis of bone mineral density (BMD) response rates comparing sequential abaloparatide/alendronate vs placebo/alendronate across the ACTIVE and ACTIVExtend studies. BMD was measured at the lumbar spine, total hip, and femoral neck from the beginning of ACTIVE to the end of ACTIVExtend (18 months of abaloparatide or placebo followed by about 1 month for re-consent, followed by 24 months of alendronate treatment for a total of 43 months). Responders were defined as those patients who had improvements in BMD at 3 anatomic sites-the lumbar spine, total hip, and femoral neck. Three response thresholds, >0%, >3%, and >6%, were evaluated. Five hundred fifty-eight patients in the abaloparatide/alendronate group and 581 patients in the placebo/alendronate group from ACTIVExtend were included in the analysis. At Month 43, a significantly greater proportion of those in the abaloparatide/alendronate group compared with the placebo/alendronate group responded with BMD changes from ACTIVE baseline of >0%, >3%, and >6% at all 3 anatomic sites (p < 0.001 for each comparison). At the>3% threshold, 60.7% (307/506) vs 24.0% (121/505) of patients experienced BMD increases at all 3 sites in the abaloparatide/alendronate vs placebo/alendronate groups, respectively (p < 0.001). A significantly greater proportion of the abaloparatide/alendronate group experienced BMD increases of>0%, >3%, and >6% at each individual anatomic site compared with the placebo/alendronate group at 43 months (p < 0.001). Additionally, at each visit in ACTIVExtend, there was a significantly greater proportion of patients in the abaloparatide/alendronate group above the 3% threshold at each anatomic site compared with the placebo/alendronate group. Results are consistent with the significant BMD response with abaloparatide vs placebo observed in ACTIVE and with the continued fracture risk reduction with sequential abaloparatide/alendronate compared with placebo/alendronate treatment observed in ACTIVE through ACTIVExtend.

    Abstract There are a number of effective treatments for osteoporosis but most are in the antiresorptive class of compounds. Abaloparatide-SC is a new osteoanabolic agent, which increased bone mineral density and lowered the risk of osteoporosis-related fractures in the phase 3 ACTIVE trial. The objective of this report is to describe the effects of abaloparatide-SC 80μg on bone histology and histomorphometry in iliac crest bone biopsies from this trial in which participants were randomized to receive blinded daily subcutaneous injections of placebo or abaloparatide-SC 80μg/d or open-label teriparatide 20μg/d for 18months. Iliac crest bone biopsies were obtained between 12 and 18months. Qualitative histological analysis of biopsies from abaloparatide-SC-treated patients revealed normal bone microarchitecture without evidence of adverse effects on mineralization or on the formation of normal lamellar bone. There were no bone marrow abnormalities, marrow fibrosis nor was there presence of excess osteoid or woven bone. There were few significant differences among the three treatment groups in a standard panel of static and dynamic histomorphometric indices. The mineral apposition rate was higher in the teriparatide-treated group than in the placebo-treated group. The eroded surface was lower in the abaloparatide-SC-treated group than in the placebo-treated group. Cortical porosity was higher in both the abaloparatide-SC- and the teriparatide-treated groups than in the placebo-treated group. We conclude that histological and histomorphometric analysis of iliac crest bone biopsies from subjects who were treated for up to 18months with abaloparatide-SC showed no evidence of concern for bone safety.
