Osteonecrosis of the jaw in a patient with rheumatoid artritis treated with an oral aminobisphosphonate: a clinical case report

Longato Lorena , Cavalli Loredana , Marcucci Gemma , Metozzi Alessia , Giusti Francesca , Brandi Maria Luisa , Piscitelli Prisco

Osteonecrosis of the jaw (ONJ) has been recently described after i.v. administration of amino-bisphosphonates and – less frequently – in association with the use of oral bisphosphonates. Bisphosphonate-related osteonecrosis of the jaw (BRONJ) may affect mandible bone (65%), maxilla bone (26%) and rarely (9%) both sites simultaneously. Although causality may never be proven, emerging experimental data have established a strong association between monthly i.v. bisphosp...

Objective(s): We aimed to determine the prevalence of osteoporosis and risk factors for bone demineralization in the Italian population.Material and methods: 3090 consecutive subjects were screened for osteoporosis by using calcaneal quantitative ultrasounds (QUS) in 16 Italian cities (women: 2635; men: 455) during the extension of the FIRMO study carried out in 2011 on about 7000 people. Anamnestic data were collected to assess the presence of recognize...

Bone loss in KLHL3 knock-in mice characterized by a pseudohypoaldosteronism type II-like phenotype is mediated by renal PTH resistance

Andrukhova Olena , Zhang Jinwei , Alessi Dario , Erben Reinhold

Pseudohypoaldosteronism type II (PHAII) is a hereditary disease characterized by hypertension, hypercalciuria and osteopenia. PHAII is caused by mutations in with-no-lysine kinase 1 (WNK1), WNK4, or the cullin RING ligase family members kelch-like 3 (KLHL3) or cullin 3 (CUL3). All mutations result in up-regulation of the WNK signalling pathway which activates thiazide-sensitive Na-Cl cotransporters (NCC) in renal distal tubules, leading to salt retention and hypertension in PH...
