As the year ends, it's time once again to discuss some of the best clinical papers in the 🦴 #bone field in 2022!

A long 🧵
@Sandroppa @ECTS_science @larsfolkestad
Nr. 1: Supplemental #VitaminD and Incident #Fractures in Midlife and Older Adults @NEJM

No effect in the VITAL trial although confidence intervals do not exclude meaningful reduction in patients on osteoporosis meds or with fracture history

nejm.org/doi/full/10.10…
#VitaminD Deficiency Increases Mortality Risk in the UK Biobank
A Nonlinear Mendelian Randomization Study

Risk increased steeply < 50 nmol/L and was greater with genetic than phenotypic vitamin D deficiency

Calcium supplements increase the risk of dementia inn older people

1. #Calcium tablets are commonly prescribed to older people to lower the risk of #osteoporosis and #fractures. However, calcium tablets may increase the risk of #Dementia.
#neurotwitter #MedTwitter
2. Women (aged 70 or more) taking calcium supplements had a higher risk of all type dementia, vascular and mixed dementia at 5-year follow up.
The risk of dementia was higher in women with previous history of #stroke and those with white matter lesions (WML) on #MRI brain.
3. In another study, higher serum calcium status (even if not hypercalcemia) was associated with increased risk of #Alzheimers disease in elders. Serum calcium is a useful biomarker in predicting clinical progression in nondemented elders.

Cause of coma in a #woman surprised us!

1. 65-year old woman was brought in an #unconscious state to #emergency dept. She sounded normal over phone to her son about 24 hours earlier. She stayed alone, so, further details were not available.
#MedTwitter #internalmedicine
2. Clinical examination revealed an #unconscious patient. She was afebrile; pulse and BP were normal. Pupils were equal and reacting to light. Meningeal signs were absent. She was electively mechanically ventilated in view of her unconscious state.
3. Serum #calcium was high (13 mg/dL). MRI brain was normal. Lumbar puncture was normal. Investigations were done to determine the cause of high calcium. There was no evidence of #endocrine disorder, infection or #Cancer.
#VitaminD level was very high (160 ng/mL).

This one found higher total calcium intakes to be associated with a decreased overall colorectal cancer risk in women. Image
- The study used data from 1991-2015 from the Nurses’ Health Study II, an ongoing prospective cohort study of female nurses who are followed up every 2 years, and who were aged 25–42 years when the study began in 1989.
- Overall, a strong association was observed for dietary calcium, especially dairy calcium, but not for supplemental calcium.

"Animal-source foods are believed to contain the #meatfactor, a substance enhancing the absorption of micronutrients from plant-based foods"

academic.oup.com/advances/advan…
"it has been suggested that peptides, phospholipids &
mucopolysaccharides released during digestion of muscle tissue contribute in facilitating #iron uptake by mediating the formation of readily absorbable ferric oxohydrate nanoparticles"
But: "the enhancement in nonheme iron absorption is not at all influenced by the presence of heme in the muscle tissue [..] heme-free beef and heme-free chicken protein maintained the enhancing effect on nonheme iron absorption"

How would you tackle this heavily calcified LAD with calcified #nodule that was appropriately identified by intravascular imaging? #OCT

In this #EHJCaseReports #tweetorial we take a deep dive into the Rx of #calcified coronary lesions.

Calcified lesions are top of the totem pole of complex PCI
Main armamentaria are balloon-based #IVL & ablation-based (rotational/orbital) techniques, while ancillary tools eg guide extension catheters are useful too. eurointervention.pcronline.com/article/intrav…

Mag ik jullie er nog eens aan herinneren wat vitamine D met mij heeft gedaan. Weg gewrichtspijnen door ontstekingen (dat weet ik omdat ik etoricoxib slikte). @MinVWS en @ministerVWS. Vitamine D is goed voor je. Het is kanker remmend en zorgt er blijkbaar ook voor dat…

ontstekingen in gewrichten verdwijnen. We krijgen al weinig natuurlijke vitamine D binnen op het noordelijk halfrond. Want vit. D krijg je van zonlicht op je blote, niet ingesmeerde huid. En wat doet @minvws daartegen? Niets sterker nog ze zorgen ervoor dat we zo min…

mogelijk vit D aanmaken of binnen krijgen. Hun laatste offensief: metronieuws.nl/in-het-nieuws/…

Andere middelen die ze hanteren (mijn visie, hoeft net persé waar te zijn):

#2 B-COMPLEX/MULTI VITAMIN. Buy a liposomal or other form that increases bio-availability. Take 1 capsule w/Breakfast and Lunch. If you have stomach upset, try sublingual (under tongue) EZ Melt B-Complex in AM & Multi w/iron for Dinner. amazon.com/Liposomal-Meth…
#3 OMEGA 3s. Fish Oil, Krill Oil, Algae Oil are all good sources of Omega 3. Be careful the EPA/DHA ratio. EPA helps with inflammation/DHA helps with cognition. You need both! Opt for a 1:1 or 2:1 ratio of DHA to EPA (2:1 ratio eg. 800 DHA/400EPA) amazon.com/3Care-Concentr…

We have an exciting new #preprint on @medrxivpreprint ! A novel class of #primaryimmunodeficiency, with the discovery of ITPR3 mutations in two families with combined immunodeficiency. As always, studying #PID teaches us so much about biology! 1/8

medrxiv.org/content/10.110…
The work is based on patients identified @UZLeuven by Rik Schrijvers and @IsabelleMeyts. Both patients had a combined #immunodeficiency with sensitivity to infections, one complicated by peripheral #neuropathy and one by #autoimmune hemolytic anemia. Over to the gene hunters! 2/8
Mutations in ITPR3 were identified by Erika Van Nieuwenhove and Frederik Staels. ITPR3 is part of a #Calcium channel, so we turned to the Serysheva lab @Irina52948708 to predict the impact on structure. Clear as day, the mutations change the charge of the channel. 3/8

This was @osvaldo_rpe's first publication and a pretty cool debut indeed!

Osvaldo is a brilliant scientist that I had the honor to co-advise. No doubt I learned from him way way more than I taught.

A well-deserved first-authorship for an undergraduate student! 👏

Go, go #mitochondria!

We already knew that microglial activation induces mitochondrial fragmentation and that mito morphology correlates with its Ca2+ uptake

But the influence of mito Ca2+ handling on #microglial activation was still unclear...

Out today in @PNASNews we reveal how Ca2+ signals coordinate the flow of milk from secretory alveoli to the nipple during lactation doi.org/10.1073/pnas.2… A wonderful team effort by @Stevenson_alex2 @DrYassum @tenealestewart @DrNickCondon @BethLloydLewis @LabEthan @_adamewing 1/
Using volumetric #calcium imaging we show how #oxytocin (released in response to suckling) produces Ca2+ #oscillations in mammary basal cells, causing them to contract and repetitively deform the innermost layer of secretory cells (shown here in red) 2/
We show that Ca2+ release from internal stores and influx across the cell membrane are sufficient for these contractions to occur but that Ca2+ influx is necessary to sustain them 3/

Voyons ce que dit @ameli_actu à propos de ces "régimes"
Donc on en est encore aux histoires de protéines d'il y a 30 ans. Et la #B12, le #FER, le #Calcium, #omega ?
Que dit l'équivalent en Grande Bretagne le #NHS ?

* Vitamin D supplements 👍 (comme +de 50% de la population française)
* A vitamin B12 supplement may be needed 👍(comme +22% de la pop. Française)
Les sources des autres nutriments sont donnés sur le site.
En France, il faut donc aller chercher des renseignements sur des sites végés/véganes alors qu'une information sur les sites institutionnels pourrait empêcher des drames de se produire.

Ladies, there's a little kanyana mineral called #Calcium, make sure you get enough of it, coz deficiency will cause havoc in your body..extreme chaos. From oesteoporosis (brittle bones) dental issues, cataracts (clouding of eyes), cramping &numbness, fatigue, seizures, depression
Ladies, Low #Calcium can also affect the brain. Its a mineral necessary for building bones, enabling blood to clot, muscle contraction, and for our heart to beat. Try to get natural sources in dairy, beans, egg yolk, broccoli, green veges, for us oldies about +800mg a day.
Ladies, PMS symptoms, mood swings depression, forgetfulness, all those might be linked to low #Calcium. This is so important. Take time to read more

If you do have hypocalcemia (low calcium) find out why and get back on track.
