TL;DR: Testing the acceptability and usability of Calci-app, a dietary app to self-monitor calcium consumption, before it is used in a behavioral change intervention in young women aged 18-25 years demonstrated acceptable use, however, for regular and long-term use the self- monitors could be expanded to allow participants to view their total daily calcium intake compared with the recommended daily intake.

TL;DR: The expression of voltage‐gated sodium (NaV) channels in mouse osteoblasts is confirmed and the action of carbamazepine and phenytoin on NaV channels is investigated to determine whether altered bone signaling increases bone fragility.

TL;DR: Examination of bone, muscle, and balance outcomes in young patients taking AEDs found no significant differences in terms of bone density, balance impairment, or fracture risk in adults.

TL;DR: The exploratory estimate of the effect of exercise on functional leg muscle strength was consistent in direction and magnitude with other trials in individuals with vertebral fractures, which suggests that strategies to enhance long-term adherence might be important in future confirmatory trials.

TL;DR: An RCT of home exercise in women with vertebral fractures is feasible but recruitment was a challenge, and Suggestions are made for the conduct of future trials.
