TL;DR: Overall, total hip and total knee arthroplasties were found to be quite effective in terms of improvement in health-related quality-of-life dimensions, with the occasional exception of the social dimension.

TL;DR: This study demonstrates the structural efficacy of glucosamine and indistinguishable symptomatic efficacies for both compounds in knee osteoarthritis and further studies are needed to investigate the relationship among time, dose, patient baseline characteristics, and structural efficacy for an accurate, disease-modifying characterization of these 2 compounds.

TL;DR: Bruyere et al. as discussed by the authors investigated the effects of whole body vibration in the elderly and found that the vibration intervention can improve elements of fall risk and health-related quality of life in elderly patients.

TL;DR: This meta-analysis characterised the "compound" and "time" aspects of the GI toxicity of non-selective NSAIDs and the risk/benefit ratio of such compounds should thus be carefully and individually evaluated at the start of long term treatment.

TL;DR: The analysis of the spinal and nonspinal fracture rates showed that fracture rates differed between the two classes, thereby confirming the benefits of vitamin D analogs, with significant 13.4% (95% CI 7.7 to 19.8) and 6% ( 95% CI 1 to 12) lower fracture rates for vitamin D analogues, respectively.
