Efficacy of ciclosporin monotherapy in non‐severe aplastic anaemia not requiring transfusions: Results from a multicentre phase II study

open access: yesBritish Journal of Haematology, EarlyView.
Summary The efficacy of ciclosporin (CsA) to treat transfusion‐independent non‐severe aplastic anaemia (TI‐NSAA) has not yet been systematically evaluated. We conducted a prospective trial in patients with TI‐NSAA treated with CsA monotherapy. CsA (3.5 mg/kg/day) was administered to patients with TI‐NSAA aged ≥16.

A 50‐year perspective on the use and potential of artiodactyl calcanei in bone adaptation studies

open access: yesBiological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Sheep and deer calcanei are important models for studying cortical (compact) and trabecular (cancellous) bone adaptation because they are amenable to direct strain measurement (due to lack of surrounding muscles), experience relatively simple/unidirectional bending, exhibit osteon remodelling, and have the most pronounced regional variations ...

Lifestyle Management in Menopause: A Systematic Review of Women With Premature Ovarian Insufficiency

open access: yesClinical Endocrinology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective Premature ovarian insufficiency (POI), the loss of ovarian function before age 40, increases the risk of cardiovascular disease, low bone mineral density, dementia and psychological distress. Lifestyle interventions reduce chronic disease risk in other populations and, with hormone therapy, may improve health outcomes in POI.

Avascular Necrosis and Minimal Trauma Fractures in Telomere Biology Disorders

open access: yesClinical Genetics, EarlyView.
Avascular Necrosis (AVN) and Minimal Trauma Fractures (MTF) cause significant morbidity in people with Telomere Biology Disorders (TBDs). They occur more frequently in young patients and in those with autosomal recessive (AR) or X‐linked recessive (XLR) than in autosomal dominant (AD) genotypes.
