ZusammenfassungAsthma und COPD sind die häufigsten obstruktiven Atemwegserkrankungen. Die chronische Inflammation bedingt eine Induktion von proinflammatorischen Zytokinkaskaden. Neben der systemischen Inflammation tragen Hypoxämie, Hyperkapnie, eine katabole Stoffwechsellage, eine gonadale oder eine Schilddrüsendysfunktion, eine muskuloskelettale Dysfunktion und Inaktivität sowie Vitamin D‑Mangel zu einem erhöhten Knochenbruchrisiko bei. Iatrogene Ursachen der Osteoporose sind die zum Teil langjährigen Anwendungen von inhalativen oder systemischen Glukokortikoiden (GC). Die inhalative GC Applikation bei Asthma ist oft schon im Kindes- und Jugendalter indiziert, aber auch interstitielle Lungenerkrankungen wie die chronisch organisierende Pneumonie, die Sarkoidose oder rheumatische Erkrankungen mit Lungenbeteiligung werden mit inhalativen oder oralen GC behandelt. Bei PatientInnen mit zystischer Fibrose kommt es durch die Malabsorption im Rahmen der Pankreasinsuffizienz, durch Hypogonadismus und chronische Inflammation mit erhöhter Knochenresorption zu einer Abnahme der Knochenstruktur. Nach Lungentransplantation ist die Immunsuppression mit GC ein Risikofaktor.Die pneumologischen Grunderkrankungen führen zu einer Veränderung der trabekulären und kortikalen Mikroarchitektur des Knochens und zu einer Verminderung von osteologischen Formations- und Resorptionsmarkern. Hyperkapnie, Azidose und Vitamin D‑Mangel können diesen Prozess beschleunigen und somit das individuelle Risiko für osteoporotische Fragilitätsfrakturen erhöhen.Eine Knochendichtemessung mit einem T‑Score < −2,5 ist ein Schwellenwert zur Diagnose der Osteoporose, die überwiegende Mehrzahl aller osteoporotischen Frakturen tritt bei einem T‑Score von > −2,5 auf. Eine niedrig-traumatische Fraktur in der Anamnese indiziert eine osteologische Therapie.Neben der Optimierung des Vitamin D‑Spiegels sind sämtliche in Österreich zur Behandlung der Osteoporose zugelassenen antiresorptiv oder anabol wirksamen Medikamente auch bei pneumologischen PatientInnen mit einem erhöhten Knochenbruchrisiko entsprechend der nationalen Erstattungskriterien indiziert.

ZusammenfassungDie Osteomalazie ist eine seltene Erkrankung des Knochenstoffwechsels, die mit einer verminderten Knochenmineralisation einhergeht. Ursächlich sind meist ein Vitamin-D-Mangel oder eine Störung des Phosphatstoffwechsels (sog. hypophosphatämische Osteomalazie). Leitsymptome der Osteomalazie sind dumpfe, lokalisierte oder auch generalisierte Knochenschmerzen, Muskelschwäche und -krämpfe sowie eine gehäufte Sturzneigung. Differenzialdiagnostisch müssen vor allem rheumatische Erkrankungen wie z. B. Polymyalgia rheumatica, rheumatoide Arthritis, Myositiden und Fibromyalgie-Syndrom ausgeschlossen werden. Im Labor sind eine Erhöhung der alkalischen Phosphatase sowie ein erniedrigtes Serum-Phosphat und/oder 25-OH-Vitamin D3 für eine Osteomalazie wegweisend. Die Übergänge von einem Vitamin D-Mangel zur manifesten Osteomalazie sind fließend. In unklaren Fällen kann die Diagnose einer Osteomalazie durch eine Knochenbiopsie aus dem Beckenkamm gesichert werden. Die Therapie umfasst im Wesentlichen die Gabe von Vitamin D und Calcium, bei Resorptionsproblemen ggf. auch parenteral. Bei Phosphatverlust-Syndromen ist die Substitution von Phosphat meist Therapie der Wahl.

Abstract Funding Acknowledgements Type of funding sources: None. Aim To investigate the role of markers of vascular inflammation, vitamin D, parathyroid hormone as predictors of increased pulse-wave velocity (PWV) and degenerative bone changes in postmenopausal women with arterial hypertension (AH). Methods 164 females were examined. Gr.1 included 42 healthy individuals, Gr.2 - 58 patients with AH and Gr.3 - 64 postmenopausal women with AH and osteoporosis. Parameters of blood pressure monitoring; PWV, osteodensitometry (T-Score); inflammatory markers: hsCRP, TNFα, homocysteine, IL-1β, 6, 8, endothelin-1; lipid profile parameters; sex and parathyroid hormones, vitamin D  were measured. Results In Gr.3 excess levels of PWV, hsCRP, homocysteine, IL8, total cholesterol, LDL cholesterol, endothelin-1 and parathyroid hormone was detected with decrease in the level of sex hormones and vitamin D. Besides, negative correlations of T-Score with age, PWV, duration of menopause, IL-6, hsCRP were registered; positive correlations between PWV with IL6, LDL cholesterol, hsCRP, endothelin-1, DBP variability were found. The logistic regression method revealed the main markers that affect increase of PWV, such as hsCRP and endothelin-1.Rise of each marker by unit of measurement leads to increase in PWV by 1.3 times and 2.4%, respectively. In Gr.2 increase in PWV level of more than 12.05 m/s was associated with 3.8-fold increase in the risk of osteoporosis. In Gr.3 increase in PWV level on 1 m/s was associated with 6 fold increase in the risk of osteoporosis. Conclusions Elevated levels of PWV are associated with markers of inflammation, levels of parathyroid hormone, vitamin D, T-Score and may be part of the pathogenesis of the cardiovascular continuum in postmenopausal women, which will require an individual approach to the treatment of AH with comorbid metabolic disorders.

<p><strong>Objective. </strong>The objective of our study was to investigate the effects of carbamazepine (CBZ) and lamotrigine (LTG) treatment on bone metabolism in epileptic patients.</p><p><strong>Patients and Methods. </strong>A cross-sectional study was performed on normal controls (N=30) and 100 patients with symptomatic epilepsy caused by a primary brain tumor, divided into two groups according to the treatment: LTG monotherapy group (N=50) and CBZ monotherapy group (N=50). For each participant serum levels of 25-OHD and osteocalcin (OCLN) were measured, and bone mineral density (BMD) was evaluated by the dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry method.</p><p><strong>Results</strong>. There was no statistically significant difference in the average values of vitamin D in serum between the CBZ and LTG groups (Vitamin D CBZ 17.03±}12.86 vs. Vitamin D LTG 17.97±}9.15; F=0.171, P=0.680). There was no statistically significant difference in the average values of OCLN between the CBZ and LTG groups (OCLN CBZ 26.06±}10.87 vs. OCLN LTG 27.87±}28.45; F=0.171, P=0.674). The BMD value was lower in both groups using antiepileptic agents compared to the controls, but when comparing the CBZ group to the LTG group, a statistically significant difference was only observed for the Z score (T-score CBZ: 0.08±} 1.38 vs. T-score LTG: 0.37±} 1.02; F=1.495, P=0.224; Z score CBZ: -0.05±}1.17 vs. Z. Score CBZ: 0.38±}0.96; F=4.069, P=0.046) (Table 3).</p><strong>Conclusion</strong>. The choice of antiepileptic agents for treating seizures in patients with brain tumors should be carefully evaluated in relation to their impact on bone health. These patients could benefit from supplementation and regular measurement of biochemical markers of bone turnover and BMD.

Abstract Background and Aims In the medical literature, several studies have linked bone mineral density (BMD) with vitamin D deficiency in kidney transplant patients (KTRs). However, in spite of the fact that ergocalciferol, cholecalciferol and calcifediol reduce parathyroid hormone (PTH) and improves calcium levels, their effects on the bone mineral density (BMD) in KTRs remain undefined. In consideration of the lack of data available, we aim at investigating the effect of inactive form of vitamin D supplementation on the BMD over a follow-up period up to 2 year, in a real-life cohort of long-term kidney transplant(KT). Method This study was carried out in KTRs who were followed up in a Nephrology Unit. Exclusion criteria were parathyroidectomy, therapy with bisphosphonate, previous history of bone fractures. Demographic, clinical and immunosuppressive agents were collected. Based on 25-OH-D levels, KTRs were classified as suffering from deficiency (&lt; 30 ng/mL). BMD was evaluated at lumbar vertebral bodies (LV) and right femoral hip (FH) by a single operator, using a standard dual energy X-ray absorptiometry. According to WHO criteria, results were expressed as T-score (standard deviation [SD] relative to young healthy adults), and Z-score (SD relative to age-matched controls). Osteoporosis and osteopenia were defined as T score ≤ −2.5 SD and T score &lt; −1 and &gt; −2.5 SD, respectively. Laboratory data, 25-OH-D, and BMD were measured at baseline and after 24 months of supplementation therapy. Vitamin D deficiency was corrected using standard treatment strategy recommended for general population. Continuous variables were expressed as mean ± SD whereas categorical variables as percentage. The Student’s t test and chi-square test were used to compare to compare continuous and categorical variables, respectively. For before and after comparisons of continuous variables, the paired t-test or one-sample Wilcoxon signed rank test were used based on variable’s distribution. Results Data pertaining to 111 out of 133 consecutive outpatients were collected, of whom most were males (69.4%), no-smokers (89.1%) and treated with glucocorticoids (84%). The mean age was 53.9±11.6 years and months after transplant was 161.6±128.3. No statistical differences were found among patients with normal BMD, osteopenia or osteoporosis at LV and FH in terms of age at transplant, gender distribution, time on dialysis, BMI and eGFR, serum calcium, serum phosphate, 25-OH-D and iPTH. At baseline, 25-OH-D was 13.9±7.2 ng/ml and the prevalence of osteopenia/osteoporosis was 40.9% (T-Score -1.69±0.37; Z-score -1.16±1.09) and 21.8 % (T-Score -3.15±0.50; Z-score -2.27±0.58) at LV; 55.3 % (T-Score -1.8±0.46; Z-score -0.84±0.633) and 14 % (T-Score -2.83±0.39; Z-score -1.65±0.49) at FH. After 27.6±3.7 months of therapy with cholecalciferol at mean dose of 13.396±7.537 UI at week, 25-OH-D values increased to 29.4±9.4 ng/ml (p&lt;0.0001) while no statistically significant changes were found in Z-score and T-score at both sites, except for a mild improvement in lumbar vertebral Z-score, reaching −0.82± 0.7 (p = 0.06) in KTRs with osteopenia Conclusion Our study showed BMD remained stable after up to 2 years of inactive vitamin D therapy in long-term kidney transplant with vitamin D deficiency. A mild increase in Z-score was observed in the L-spine. Further designated studies should be conducted to demonstrate the effect of vitamin D on BMD.

BACKGROUND: Benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV) has a reported recurrence ranging from 26.8 to 50%. Osteoporosis and Vitamin D deficiency seems to have an impact on recurrence of BPPV. OBJECTIVE: to evaluate the impact of osteoporosis and Vitamin D deficiency on recurrence of BPPV. METHODS: 73 consecutive patients were divided in two groups according to the presence (group 1) or absence (group 0) of a recurrent episode. BMD, femoral and lumbar T-scores and Vitamin D levels were recorded. Statistical analysis was performed to investigate correlations. RESULTS: patients in group 1 had statistically significant lower values of both femoral (–1,62±1,06 vs. –0,53±1,51; p = 0,001), lumbar T-score (–2,10±1,19 vs –0, 53±1.51, p = 0.001) and Vitamin D (19.53±15.33). The values of femoral T-score and Vitamin D could be combined in a model able to properly classify 65.8% of the cases (p = 0.002) as isolated or recurrent BPPV, with high accuracy (AUC 0.710 [0.590 –0.830]). CONCLUSION: present data show a probable correlation between osteoporosis and Vitamin D with recurrent BPPV.

Abstract Background: Osteoporosis among adult males is a major and under-recognized problem in the United States. Patients with hemophilia have several predisposing risks for developing decreased bone mineral density (BMD) and osteoporosis, and may represent an important group to target for screening and treatment for fracture prevention. Patients and Methods: Patients over the age of 18 with moderate or severe hemophilia A or B (as defined by factor activity < 5%) and no history of prophylactic factor use prior to age 10 were eligible. Bone mineral densities were obtained using DEXA scans (DXA) along with measurements of joint mobility and physical activity and laboratory parameters. Results: Twenty-eight patients have been consented with accrual ongoing. 21 have undergone DXA scans. Median age of 39 (range 18–61), 86% HCV positive, 26% HIV positive. Median T-score for all sites (lumbar, femoral neck, hip, and other) was −1.7 (−5.8–0.6), with the most effected area being the femoral neck, T-score −1.7 (−5.8–0.8). Based on WHO criteria, 76% of patients had decreased BMD, 33% (n=7) with osteoporosis, and 43% (n=9) with osteopenia. Trends associated with decreased BMD included decreased serum 25-hydroxy-vitamin D levels, increased alkaline phosphatase, and decreased weight. All patients with osteoporosis were HCV positive, and all HIV positive patients had decreased BMD. Median activity scores were lower among osteoporotic patients vs normal BMD. Joint range-of-motion in the lower extremities was limited to 59.5% of predicted values in patients with osteoporosis, 84% in osteopenia, and 93% in patients with normal BMD. Summary: Patients with hemophilia are at markedly increased risk for developing osteoporosis and osteopenia. Potential predictors of risk for decreased BMD are concurrent HCV and HIV infection, low vitamin D levels, elevated alkaline phosphatase, lower weight, decreased range of motion and lower activity scores. More aggressive screening for decreased BMD among moderate and severe hemophilia patients with initiation of therapy is appropriate. Median Values Worst T-Score Activity Score (1–5) Joint ROM (% Pred) Weight (kg) 25-Hydroxy-D (ng/mL) Alk Phos (IU/L) Normal BMD 0.1 5 94.0 91.6 28.0 59 Osteopenia −1.6 4 85.0 80.7 23.0 86 Osteoporosis −3.0 3 68.5 73.0 21.8 99

Abstract Background: Hypophosphatemia has been recognized as one of the side effect of intravenous ferric carboxymaltose infusion. This effect is thought to be secondary to fibroblast growth factor 23 (FGF 23) mediated renal phosphate wasting and associated with calcitriol deficiency and secondary hyperparathyroidism. Clinical Case: A 76 years old male patient with medical problems including hypertension, type 2 diabetes mellitus, hyperlipidemia, paroxysmal atrial fibrillation, nephrolithiasis, spinal stenosis and chronic anemia was referred to endocrinology clinic for osteoporosis management. Bone density scan showed left femur neck T-score of -2.5 and L1-L4 lumbar spine T-score of 1.4. He reported pain on back and bilateral posterior thighs, difficulty with ambulation which were partly attributed to severe spinal stenosis that he was planned to have surgery for. Muscle strength was normal on examination. Laboratory studies were obtained for osteoporosis work up and showed: Calcium: 8.9 mg/dL (8.8-10.2 mg/dL), Creatinine: 0.77 mg/dL (0.74-1.35 mg/dL), GFR: 88 mL/min/BSA, Albumin 4.5 g/dL (3.5-5.0 g/dL), 25-Hydroxy vitamin D: 26 ng/mL, Magnesium 1.8 mg/dL (1.7-2.3 mg/mL), 1,25 Dihydroxy Vitamin D 24 pg/mL (18-64 pg/mL), Phosphorus: 1 mg/dL (2.5-4.5 mg/dL), PTH 163 pg/mL (15-65 pg/mL), Hemoglobin 12.9 mg/dL (13.2-16.6 mg/dL). Due to hypophosphatemia tumor induced osteomalacia diagnosis was entertained and further work up was considered in this regard however later noted that patient received ferric carboxymaltose 750 mg infusion two times within last 3 weeks for iron deficiency anemia. Hemoglobin level was 8.6 mg/dL before the infusions. After oral phosphate replacement the phosphate level improved to 2.4 mg/dL. Serum FGF 23 level was measured and it was normal at 108 RU/mL (&lt;180 RU/mL). He was then started on bisphosphonate treatment for osteoporosis. Conclusion: Hypophosphatemia and secondary hyperparathyroidism can be seen after ferric carboxymaltose infusion due to FGF-23 mediated mechanism. In literature various presentations were reported from transient- asymptomatic hypophosphatemia to severe acute symptomatic hypophosphatemia along with persistent hypophosphatemia with osteomalacia and fragility fractures due to recurrent ferric carboxymaltose infusions. Thus, one should keep this possible side effect in mind during evaluation of hypophosphatemia and osteoporosis. References: 1. Wolf M, Chertow GM, Macdougall IC, Kaper R, Krop J, Strauss W.

ZusammenfassungDer sekundäre Hyperparathyreoidismus führt zu renaler Osteodystrophie („chronic kidney disease-mineral and bone disorder” [CKDMBD]) und progredienten Gefäßverkalkungen. Indikationen für eine Parathyreoidektomie (PTX) umfassen ein Versagen der medikamentösen Therapie bestehend aus Phosphatbindern, aktivem Vitamin D und Kalzimimetika sowie eine knochenbioptisch nachgewiesene hyperparathyreoide Knochenerkrankung, sonografisch vergrößerte Epithelkörperchen, pathologische Frakturen, therapierefraktärer Juckreiz und/oder eine Kalziphylaxie. Die PTX kann als subtotale oder totale PTX mit und ohne Thymektomie und mit und ohne Autotransplantation von Nebenschilddrüsengewebe erfolgen. Wir favorisieren die totale Parathyreoidektomie ohne Autotransplantation und ohne Thymektomie. Dieses ist ein sicheres, rezidivarmes und kosteneffektives Verfahren, postoperativ einfach substituierbar und ermöglicht die adäquate Dosierung von aktivem Vitamin D.
