Circulating osteoprotegerin is associated with chronic kidney disease in hypertensive patients

BMC Nephrology, 2017
Background Osteoprotegerin (OPG) is a glycoprotein that plays an important regulatory role in the skeletal, vascular, and immune system. It has been shown that OPG predicts chronic kidney disease (CKD) in diabetic patients. We hypothesized that OPG could

Current Evidence on Best Practice Dental Survivorship Care for People With Head and Neck Cancer: An Overview of Systematic Reviews and Emerging Evidence

Head &Neck, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Introduction Head and neck cancer (HNC) survival is improving, increasing the need to address long‐term survivorship issues. Dental survivorship—care before, during, and after treatment—remains inconsistent across services. We conducted a review of systematic reviews and emerging evidence to inform contemporary dental survivorship care for HNC

High levels of osteoprotegerin are associated with coronary artery calcification in patients suspected of a chronic coronary syndrome

Scientific Reports, 2021
Plasma osteoprotegerin (OPG) and vascular smooth muscle cell (VSMC) derived extracellular vesicles (EVs) are important regulators in the process of vascular calcification (VC). In population studies, high levels of OPG are associated with events.

Prevalence and risk factors for postpartum depression and stress among mothers of preterm and low birthweight infants admitted to a neonatal intensive care unit in Accra, Ghana

International Journal of Gynecology &Obstetrics, Volume 169, Issue 1, Page 131-137, April 2025.
Abstract To determine the prevalence of postpartum depression (PPD) and postpartum stress (PPS) and identify associated risk factors among mothers of preterm and low birth weight (LBW) infants. We conducted a secondary analysis of data collected from 255 mothers with preterm and LBW infants admitted to the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) at Korle ...

Pregnancy‐ and lactation‐associated osteoporosis: A position statement of the IAPM, IOF, ECTS, ESCEO, IMS, and EMAS

International Journal of Gynecology &Obstetrics, EarlyView.
Abstract Pregnancy‐ and lactation‐associated osteoporosis (PLO) is a syndrome characterized by fragility fractures (most commonly vertebral, often multiple) occurring in late pregnancy or the early postpartum period. This position statement summarizes the current knowledge of PLO, and the recommended procedure for assessment, diagnosis and treatment ...

Peri‐implant disease pathogenesis animal models: Consensus report of Workgroup 1 of the IADR Implantology Research Group Best Evidence Consensus Symposium on Peri‐Implant Disease and Its Treatment

Journal of Periodontology, EarlyView.
Abstract Background The pathogenesis and etiology of peri‐implantitis demand a deeper understanding to lead to successful treatment modalities. Animal models of peri‐implantitis pathogenesis offer unique insights but their translational impact requires consideration of implant biomaterials science.

Role of Osteoprotegerin (OPG) in Bone Marrow Adipogenesis

, 2016
Background/Aims: Bone marrow adipogenesis is one of the major characteristics of aged bone. Bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMMSCs) prefer to differentiate into adipocytes instead of osteoblasts in the bone marrow cavity in aged hosts.
