Ibandronate Treatment Before and After Implant Insertion Impairs Osseointegration in Aged Rats with Ovariectomy Induced Osteoporosis.

Abstract: Excessive decreases in bone volume (BV) and bone mineral density (BMD) can lead to osteoporosis, potentially hindering implant osseointegration. Bisphosphonates are commonly used to combat osteoporosis by slowing osteoclast-mediated resorption; however, functional osteoclasts are integral to bone remodeling and, thus, implant osseointegration, potentially contraindicating bisphosphonate use during implantation. To optimize the use of implant technologies in patients with compromised bone structure and metabolism, we need a more complete understanding of the biological response to surface design. The goal of this study was to assess the effects of osteoporosis and bisphosphonates on osseointegration of titanium (Ti) implants with microstructured surfaces, which have been shown to support osteoblast differentiation in vitro and rapid osseointegration in vivo. Forty, 8-month-old, virgin, female CD Sprague Dawley rats underwent ovariectomy (OVX) or sham (SHOVX) surgery. After 5 weeks, animals were injected subcutaneously with either the bisphosphonate (BIS), Ibandronate (25 µg/kg), or phosphate-buffered saline (PBS) every 25 days. 1 week after the initial injection, O2.5mm × 3.5mm microrough (SLA; grit-blasted/acid etched) implants were placed transcortically in the distal metaphysis of each femur resulting in four groups: 1) SHOVX+PBS; 2) SHOVX+BIS; 3) OVX+PBS; and 4) OVX+BIS. After 28d, qualitative properties of the bone and implant osseointegration were assessed using micro-computed tomography (microCT), calcified histomorphometry (Van Gieson's stain), and removal torque testing. microCT revealed decreased bone volume in OVX rats, which was slowed by bisphosphonate treatment. Reduced bone-to-implant contact (BIC) was evident in OVX+PBS compared to SHOVX+PBS. Although BV/TV was increased in OVX+BIS compared to OVX+PBS, bisphosphonate treatment had no effect on BIC. Removal torque testing revealed a higher maximum torque, torsional stiffness, and torsional energy in SHOVX compared to OVX with no effects due to bisphosphonate treatment. Our results show that osseointegration is decreased in osteoporotic animals. Ibandronate halts the progression of osteoporosis but does not enhance osseointegration. © 2019 The Authors.

Transformations des représentations de l'autisme et de sa prise en charge

Abstract: 1 Objectif : mettre en evidence les constructions sociales et culturelles de l'autisme en analysant les transformations de ses representations de 1943 a 2007 2 Methode : l'etude ethnographique realisee associe des observations dans des services accueillants des enfants autistes, des entretiens avec des parents et des professionnels, ainsi qu'une analyse des publications scientifiques et des politiques publiques 3 Resultats et discussion : depuis 1993, date de la publication de la CIM-10 (classification internationale des maladies), l'autisme, maladie rare, incurable, associee souvent a un retard mental, est devenu un syndrome aux contours flous classe dans la categorie des troubles envahissants du developpement (TED), qui inclut aussi bien des enfants severement handicapes sans langage que des personnes presentant de bonnes capacites langagieres mais des difficultes d'interactions sociales L'elargissement des criteres diagnostiques va de pair avec une augmentation de la frequence de l'autisme Evaluee entre 2 et 5 cas pour 10 000 dans les annees 1990, elle serait aujourd'hui de 1/150 Ces changements ne se sont pas generalises de la meme maniere dans tous les pays, et notamment en France, ou la denomination TED n'est apparue qu'en 2000 dans la classification francaise 4 Conclusion : les associations de parents contribuent a faire evoluer les representations et influencent les politiques publiques En participant a la promotion des approches educatives et comportementales, elles modifient le domaine des interventions en autisme mais favorisent aussi, paradoxalement, le desinvestissement des pouvoirs publics qui diminuent leur implication a long terme dans la prise en charge des personnes autistes

Mechanism by which hyperglycemia plays a role in the setting of acute cardiovascular illness.

Abstract: More than 1.2 million percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) procedures are performed each year in the United States, with average hospital costs of more than $10,000 per procedure. Despite ongoing improvements in device technology and adjunct pharmacology, both ischemic complications (eg, periprocedural myocardial infarction) and bleeding complications remain relatively common and are associated with both increased costs (in the short term) and mortality (in the longer term). Recently, the Randomized Evaluation of PCI Linking Angiomax to Reduced Clinical Events (REPLACE)-2 clinical trial demonstrated that the use of the direct thrombin inhibitor, bivalirudin, with provisional glycoprotein (GP) IIb/IIIa inhibitor for selected patients in place of a conventional anticoagulation strategy of heparin and routine use of a GP IIb/IIIa inhibitor, resulted in comparable rates of ischemic complications and a significant reduction in the frequency of both major and minor bleeding complications. A prospectively designed economic analysis was performed using data from 4651 US patients who participated in REPLACE-2. In this analysis, patients who were assigned to the bivalirudin and provisional GP IIb/IIIa inhibitor strategy had anticoagulation costs during PCI that were approximately $400 per patient lower than those with heparin plus routine GP IIb/IIIa inhibition. Bivalirudin also produced corresponding decreases in total in-hospital costs and aggregate 30-day medical care costs. These cost savings derived both from the lower acquisition cost of the antithrombotic therapy and the reduced rate of bleeding complications, which accounted for approximately 20% of the cost offsets. These results suggest that for patients similar to those studied in REPLACE-2 (ie, low to moderate risk PCI procedures), use of bivalirudin and provisional GP IIb/IIIa inhibition compared with heparin and routine GP IIb/IIIa inhibition can result in similar rates of ischemic complications, reduced bleeding, and substantial cost savings to both hospitals and the healthcare system. Whether these benefits can be extended to higher risk patient subsets including patients with non-ST elevation or ST elevation myocardial infarction is currently under investigation.

Management of Adverse Effects of Second-generation Antipsychotics in Youth

Abstract: Second-generation antipsychotics (SGAs) have been proven effective in treating several psychiatric conditions in children and adolescents. These atypical antipsychotic medications are being used with increasing frequency in Europe, the U.S., and Canada. We aim to expose short-term and long-term adverse effects (AEs) of SGAs in youth populations and to provide management recommendations for major adverse effects. These proposals are based on (1) an in-depth literature review of both short- and long-term studies on the use of SGAs in youth; (2) our own clinical experience in managing such treatment in this population; and (3) the work of the Canadian Alliance for Monitoring Effectiveness and Safety of Antipsychotics in Children (CAMESA). AEs are frequent in youth treated with SGAs, and include primarily weight gain, metabolic and hormonal changes, somnolence, extrapyramidal syndrome, and QT modifications. However, frequency and type of AE vary according to compound, and each compound’s AE profile is specific. Acknowledgment of these distinct profiles should aid clinicians in making treatment decisions. After an SGA is prescribed, routine monitoring of AEs is recommended, and should an AE occur, clinical management recommendations should be followed. To date, there are no clinically validated monitoring recommendations.

All-sky search for continuous gravitational waves from isolated neutron stars using Advanced LIGO and Advanced Virgo O3 data

Abstract: We present results of an all-sky search for continuous gravitational waves which can be produced by spinning neutron stars with an asymmetry around their rotation axis, using data from the third observing run of the Advanced LIGO and Advanced Virgo detectors. Four different analysis methods are used to search in a gravitational-wave frequency band from 10 to 2048 Hz and a first frequency derivative from $-10^{-8}$ to $10^{-9}$ Hz/s. No statistically-significant periodic gravitational-wave signal is observed by any of the four searches. As a result, upper limits on the gravitational-wave strain amplitude $h_0$ are calculated. The best upper limits are obtained in the frequency range of 100 to 200 Hz and they are ${\sim}1.1\times10^{-25}$ at 95\% confidence-level. The minimum upper limit of $1.10\times10^{-25}$ is achieved at a frequency 111.5 Hz. We also place constraints on the rates and abundances of nearby planetary- and asteroid-mass primordial black holes that could give rise to continuous gravitational-wave signals.
