Osteoporosis Prevalence

Background: Increasing geriatric population, osteoporosis prevalence, and interest in bone health are key contributing factors for the growth of osteoporosis medication markets. Thus, this study evaluated changes in the menopausal hormone and other osteoporosis medication markets from 2016 to 2019.Methods: This study’s dataset was obtained from the International Marketing Services of IQVIA Inc. in South Korea. The sales of medications for osteoporosis treatment with menopausal hormones were evaluated for drug sales for osteoporosis treatment from 2016 to 2019.Results: The results showed that the tissue-selective estrogen complex (TSEC) sales had increased annually while the estrogen-progesterone therapy (EPT) sales had decreased. Excluding menopausal hormones, bisphosphonates were the most widely sold medications for osteoporosis treatment. Among the bisphosphonate medications, sales of ibandronate and zoledronate increased annually, while alendronate and risedronate decreased. Teriparatide also showed increasing sales. A rapid rise was noted in the sales of denosumab.Conclusions: While the sales of TSEC, injectable bisphosphonates, and denosumab have increased annually, the sales of EPT, estrogen therapy, oral bisphosphonates have not increased, as reflected in hormone therapy and osteoporosis medication market trends. This study showed the recent trends in hormone therapy and the osteoporosis medication market from 2016 to 2019 in South Korea.

Whi Study

AbstractThe recently published 18-year-follow-up of the WHI-study might resolve the long-standing dispute about hormone therapy, possibly reconciling the opposing parties attributing life-threatening risks to either the administration or the withholding of hormone therapy. 16 608 women without hysterectomy had taken either combined hormone therapy with estrogen and progestin or placebo for an average of 5.2 years, while 10 739 women after hysterectomy (and bilateral ovarectomy in 40 %) had taken either estrogen therapy alone or placebo for an average of 7 years. 7489 deaths were recorded until 2014. Over both studies, mortality was 27.1 % after hormone therapy and 27.6 % after placebo. New findings on perimenopause can help towards phase-adapted and complaint-targeted hormone therapy in the future.

International Phenomenon

Shadow education or private supplementary tutoring has become an international phenomenon as increasing numbers of students seek help beyond traditional schooling for academic achievement. The positive relationship between students’ academic achievement and participation in shadow education has been previously reported. However, the manner in which shadow education practices can help students to gain and maintain higher academic achievement remains understudied. In response, this study explored the features of shadow education practices that may benefit the academic achievement of students, particularly those in South Korea but with relevance beyond the South Korean context. Using qualitative research methods, this study revealed that preview learning from/with private supplementary tutors, academic mastery learning of subject knowledge and skills, training skills for school exams, and solving students’ individual learning difficulties through intensive coaching are contributing factors to improving academic achievement.

Clinical Conditions

Although underdiagnosed, delirium is a common and potentially preventable problem in older patients, being associated with morbimortality. Drugs have been associated with the development of delirium in the geriatric population and may be considered the most easily reversible trigger. Polypharmacy, prescription of deliriogenic, anticholinergic and potentially inappropriate drugs are contributing factors for the occurrence of the disturb. Furthermore, changes in pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic parameters, which are intrinsic of the aged process, may contribute for cognitive impairment. Identification and reversal of clinical conditions associated with delirium are the first step to treat the disturbance, as well as mitigation of environmental factors and the exposition to deliriogenic drugs. Current evidence does not support the prescription of antipsychotics and benzodiazepines for the treatment of delirium. However, the judicious use of first- or second-generation antipsychotics can be considered in severe cases. Multi-component non-pharmacological, software-based intervention to identify medications that could contribute to delirium, predictive models, tools, training of health professionals and active actions of pharmacovigilance may contribute to the screening, prevention, and management of delirium in older people. Besides, it is also important to improve the report of drug-induced delirium in medical records, to develop properly risk management plans and avoid cascade iatrogenesis.

Bilateral Oophorectomy

Gynecological cancers affect a growing number of women globally, with approximately 1.3 million women diagnosed in 2018. Menopausal symptoms are a significant health concern after treatment for gynecological cancers and may result from oncologic treatments such as premenopausal bilateral oophorectomy, ovarian failure associated with chemotherapy or radiotherapy, and anti-estrogenic effects of maintenance endocrine therapy. Additionally, with the growing availability of testing for pathogenic gene variants such as BRCA1/2 and Lynch syndrome, there is an increasing number of women undergoing risk-reducing oophorectomy, which in most cases will be before age 45 years and will induce surgical menopause. Not all menopausal symptoms require treatment, but patients with cancer may experience more severe symptoms compared with women undergoing natural menopause. Moreover, there is increasing evidence of the long-term implications of early menopause, including bone loss, cognitive decline and increased cardiovascular risk. Systemic hormone therapy is well established as the most effective treatment for vasomotor symptoms and vaginal (topical) estrogen therapy is effective for genitourinary symptoms. However, the role of hormone receptors in many gynecological cancers and their treatment pose a challenge to the management of menopausal symptoms after cancer. Consequently, the use of menopausal hormone therapy in this setting can be difficult for clinicians to navigate and this article aims to provide current, comprehensive guidance for the use of menopausal hormone replacement therapy in women who have had, or are at risk of developing, gynecological cancer to assist with these treatment decisions.
