Abstract

There is limited evidence regarding the appropriate length of a bisphosphonate (BP) holiday to reduce the risk of osteonecrosis of the jaw (ONJ). In this cross-sectional study, we investigated the population-based patterns of the gaps between BP discontinuation and ONJ diagnosis. We used the claims database of the National Health Insurance Service in Korea. Among BP users between 2006 and 2015, incident ONJ cases during 2010-2015 with no history of ONJ in the last 4 years were identified. We assessed the time gap from the last BP administration to ONJ diagnosis. Among 1,569 incident ONJ cases, 836 (53.3%) occurred after BP discontinuation. The cumulative proportions of ONJ occurrence within 1 month, 3 months, 1 year, 2 years, and 3 years after discontinuation were 58.9%, 70.8%, 87.0%, 93.2%, and 96.1%, respectively. The length of drug holidays showed no significant difference between patients with or without comorbid cancer and diabetes mellitus (p-value, 0.12 and 0.52, respectively). However, the use of injectable BP formulations significantly affected ONJ incidence (p < 0.01). Most ONJ cases occurred within 3 years from BP suspension, with a higher prevalence among BP injection users with 1 year or lesser BP holiday.

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.

Microbicide

Microbicides are products that can be applied to vaginal or rectal mucosal surfaces with the goal of preventing, or at least significantly reducing, the transmission of sexually transmitted infections. Here is the latest research on microbicides.
