BPs have a unique feature – maintaining the clinical effect for a long time after their withdrawal. Since BPs therapy is carried out for a long time, their accumulation in bone tissue, on the one hand, and the risk of developing severe adverse events, on the other hand, gave rise to discussion on the concept of temporary withdrawal of drugs and the organization of «drug holidays». The main criteria that are relied upon in the question of discontinuation of BPs and re-prescription at present are: 1) the risk of developing new fractures, 2) changes in bone mineral density (BMD), 3) dynamics of markers of bone metabolism. The conducted studies suggest that the suspension of treatment after 3-5 years of continuous therapy with BPs is possible in women who do not have low BMD indicators at the end of the course of therapy, while with continuing low levels of BMD, additional benefits from continuing therapy are likely. The loss of bone mass in the proximal femur and its preservation in the spine 2 years after discontinuation of BPs treatment is explained by their different localization and longer-term effect on bone metabolism in the spongy bone, i.e. in the spine. Delivery and absorption of BPs in the spine may be more intense than in other parts of the skeleton. Tracking the level of markers during a break in the treatment of BPs can be useful to determine the time of resumption of therapy: if their concentration approaches the baseline (before treatment), the patient’s condition should be reassessed and the issue of resuming therapy should be discussed. It should be noted that the optimal duration of «drug holidays» has not been established and should be selected individually depending on clinical circumstances, taking into account the presence of fractures, a significant decrease in BMD or an increase in markers of bone metabolism, as well as the presence and/or appearance of new clinically significant risk factors.","PeriodicalId":19700,"journal":{"name":"Osteoporosis and Bone Diseases","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-03-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140234986","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Real clinical practice demonstrates very low patient adherence to treatment with bisphosphonates. However, observational studies have showed that treatment with bisphosphonates for more than 10 years without initiating a drug holiday can be effective for patients at high risk of fracture. Moreover, the longer therapy with bisphosphonates is continued and the later the“drug holiday”is initiated, the lower the risks of fractures of the proximal femur and clinical vertebral fractures. However, the duration of continuous bisphosphonate therapy for each patient remains at the decision of the physician and is determined individually in each case, based on the risk-benefit ratio, taking into account the patient’s risk factors for fractures and comorbid diseases.","PeriodicalId":19700,"journal":{"name":"Osteoporosis and Bone Diseases","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-03-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140235232","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The secretion of PTH is regulated by calcium-sensing receptor (CaSR), which primarily expressed in the parathyroid glands and the renal tubules of the kidney. Increase of calcium concentration in extracellular matrix of cells is causing activation of the CaSR. Activated CaSR inhibits secretion of PTH and increases urinary calcium excretion. All CaSR effects leads to prevent development of hypercalcemia complications. Downregulation of the CASR expression and/or altered CaSR functioning leads to dysregulation of PTH synthesis. It may be the underlying cause of the development of primary and secondary hyperparathyroidism, as well as a number of hereditary diseases associated with loss- and gain-of-function mutations of the CaSR. In this paper we discusses the function of the CaSR in physiology and also the potential mechanisms that can impaired CaSR-induced signaling in various calcitropic diseases.","PeriodicalId":19700,"journal":{"name":"Osteoporosis and Bone Diseases","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-03-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140235505","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, their association with osteoporosis remains controversial. This systematic review aims to determine the relationship between ankle fracture and bone mineral density (BMD). The article presents an overview of articles that have statistical data on the relationship of bone mineral density with the frequency of ankle fractures in the elderly. The aim of the review is to define ankle fracture associations in the geriatric population. Search was performed in PubMed, Medline, Scopus publications for articles in which a study of elderly patients with ankle fractures was conducted with an assessment of bone mineral density, followed by statistical processing with the presentation of the results. Ankle fractures in the geriatric population are due to generalized bone loss and changes in trabecular bone microarchitectonics, fragility, and therefore should be considered osteoporotic fractures, regardless of BMD. Correlation relationships were established with female sex, overweight, type 2 diabetes mellitus, arterial hypertension, which are characterized by a decrease in the trabecular structure. The FRAX fracture algorithm underestimates the likelihood of fractures in geriatric patients who have a high BMI and comorbid physical pathology, so it is necessary to focus on independent clinical risk factors for BMD in order to optimize fracture prevention.","PeriodicalId":19700,"journal":{"name":"Osteoporosis and Bone Diseases","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139274114","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Two genes associated with the development of pachydermoperiostosis are known — HPGD and SLCO2A1. Mutations in these genes lead to impaired prostaglandin E2 metabolism. This article describes a clinical case of a patient with pachydermoperiostosis, in which two mutations in the HPGD gene were detected during a molecular genetic study: in 1 exon (chr4-174522451-T-A, NM_000860.6:c.1A>T) and in 2 exon (chr4-174521985-AG-, NM_000860.6:c.175_176del) in compound-heterozygous state, while the c.1A>T mutation was previously described once, and the revealed biallelic combination of mutations in the HPGD gene was not previously found in the literature. This clinical case of pachydermoperiostosis is the second described in the Russian population, and the first with confirmed mutations in the HPGD gene. The article expands the knowledge about the correlation of genotype and phenotype in pachydermoperiostosis, which contributes to a faster and more correct interpretation of genetic information during genetic counseling.","PeriodicalId":19700,"journal":{"name":"Osteoporosis and Bone Diseases","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139274808","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
