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...

Association of androgen excess and bone mineral density in women with classical congenital adrenal hyperplasia with 21-hydroxylase deficiency
The relationship between androgen excess and bone health in patients with congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH) with 21-hydroxylase (21-OH) deficiency is not fully understood. This study demonstrated positive c...

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...

Epidemiology and prognosis of parathyroid carcinoma: real-world data using nationwide cohort
Parathyroid carcinoma (PC) is an exceedingly rare endocrine malignancy with a poor prognosis. Due to the rarity, the natural course and prognostic factors of the disease are yet unclear. Therefore, we aimed to...

Demystifying uncertainty in PM10 susceptibility map** using variable drop-off in extreme-gradient boosting (XGB) and random forest (RF) algorithms
This study investigates uncertainty in machine learning that can occur when there is significant variance in the prediction importance level of the independent variables, especially when the ROC fails to refle...

Spatial identification and temporal prediction of air pollution sources using conditional bivariate probability function and time series signature
Accurate identification of distant, large, and frequent sources of emission in cities is a complex procedure due to the presence of large-sized pollutants and the existence of many land use types. This study a...

Spatial clustering and modelling for landslide susceptibility map** in the north of the Kathmandu Valley, Nepal
In this article, we propose and test alternative sampling strategies based on clustering distribution concepts to increase the efficiency of the landslide susceptibility model outcomes, instead of common rando...

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 ...

Effect of Endogenous Parathyroid Hormone on Bone Geometry and Skeletal Microarchitecture
Parathyroid hormone (PTH) has anabolic or catabolic effects on bones; however, the skeletal effect of endogenous PTH on cortical and trabecular bones is not yet clear. Therefore, we aimed to examine the effect...

Amount of smoking, pulmonary function, and bone mineral density in middle-aged Korean men: KNHANES 2008–2011
Smoking induces bone loss; however, data on the relationship between smoking history and bone mineral density (BMD) are lacking. Age and pulmonary function can affect BMD. We investigated the relationships amo...
