Residual risks of comorbidities after parathyroidectomy in a nationwide cohort of patients with primary hyperparathyroidism
Primary hyperparathyroidism (PHPT) is a common endocrine disorder with increasing incidence, while epidemiologic data in Asian population has been lacking. Therefore, we aimed to identify the incidence, progno...

Measurement of surface deformation related to the December 2018 Mt. Etna eruption using time-series interferometry and magma modeling for hazard zone map**
Mount Etna has erupted several times since it was first formed. Recently, Mount Etna began erupting again over 24–27 December 2018. Because it erupts frequently, Mount Etna should be observed on a frequent bas...

Reactivation of Bone Lining Cells are Attenuated Over Repeated Anti-sclerostin Antibody Administration
Reactivation of bone lining cells (BLCs) is a crucial mechanism governing the anabolic action of anti-sclerostin antibody (Scl-Ab) via modeling-based bone formation; however, it remains unclear whether this re...

Skeletal effects of combined bisphosphonates treatment and parathyroidectomy in osteoporotic patients with primary hyperparathyroidism
Bone loss caused by primary hyperparathyroidism (PHPT) is an indication for parathyroidectomy (PTX). However, whether adding bisphosphonates would be superior to PTX alone to increase bone mass remains unclear...

Metabolic characteristics of subjects with spine–femur bone mineral density discordances: the Korean National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (KNHANES 2008–2011)
The diagnosis of osteoporosis is determined based on the lowest bone mineral density (BMD) T-score at the lumbar spine (LS) and hip. However, there are occasional marked discordances between the T-score of LS ...
