Screening for Osteoporosis in Nonagenarians: A Scoping Review

Journal of the American Geriatrics Society, Volume 73, Issue 12, Page 3870-3883, December 2025.
ABSTRACT Background As the United States population continues to age and advancements contribute to enhanced life expectancy, care for nonagenarians (adults aged 90 years and older) is as important as ever. A prominent concern within healthcare for the oldest old remains the occurrence of fragility fractures, and subsequent 1‐year mortality, making ...

Polygenic Risk Score as a Predictor of Bone Fracture or Osteoporosis in Prostate Cancer Patients Receiving Androgen Deprivation Therapy

Cancer Medicine, Volume 14, Issue 22, November 2025.
ABSTRACT Background The association between single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) and fracture risk has been established in various studies. Androgen‐deprivation therapy (ADT) for prostate cancer, while extending survival, increases the risk of osteoporosis and bone fracture.

Warming benefits to sheep fescue are negated by nearby plants and moss–lichen layers facilitate mycorrhizae in a tundra

Ecosphere, Volume 16, Issue 11, November 2025.
Abstract In systems where low temperatures limit plant productivity, facilitative effects of surrounding vegetation on juvenile plants may outweigh effects of competition for resources. This facilitation could occur through temperature buffering but also via increased availability of root mutualists such as mycorrhizal fungi.

Artificial intelligence algorithms in orthopaedics: A narrative review of methods and clinical applications

Journal of Experimental Orthopaedics, Volume 12, Issue 4, October 2025.
Artificial intelligence (AI) algorithms are transforming orthopaedics through imaging and outcome prediction, but safe clinical translation requires robust validation, transparent reporting and effective governance. Abstract This narrative review evaluates the role of artificial intelligence (AI) algorithms in orthopaedic surgery and distinguishes ...

Assessing fracture risk in early stage breast cancer patients treated with aromatase-inhibitors: An enhanced screening approach incorporating trabecular bone score

Journal of Bone Oncology, 2017
Introduction: Aromatase-inhibitors (AIs) are commonly used for treatment of patients with hormone-receptor positive breast carcinoma, and are known to induce bone density loss and increase the risk of fractures.

The FRAX^®: critical appraisal

International Journal of Clinical Rheumatology, 2009
The threshold for pharmacological intervention in osteoporosis remains controversial. Tools predicting the future risk of new fractures are increasingly used to establish a convenient individual risk:benefit ratio for a long-term treatment. The Fracture Risk Assessment Tool (FRAX®) is likely to become the most widely used tool for assessing fracture ...

Epigenetic Clocks as Biomarkers for Bone Aging: Evidence From a Twin Study

Aging Cell, Volume 24, Issue 10, October 2025.
We investigated whether individuals with osteoporosis or fragility fracture are biologically older, as determined by the epigenetic clocks (biomarkers of aging). As the first of its kind, the study suggests that individuals with osteoporosis or fragility fractures exhibit accelerated aging based on their biological age determined by the epigenetic ...

Silent Dangers in Elderly Pharmacotherapy: The Interplay of Polypharmacy, Multimorbidity, and Drug Interactions

Journal of Evaluation in Clinical Practice, Volume 31, Issue 7, October 2025.
ABSTRACT Background Pharmacological therapy in older persons is inherently complex due to the interplay of age‐related physiological changes, multimorbidity, and polypharmacy. These factors increase the vulnerability of elderly patients to drug interactions and adverse drug reactions.
