J. Bone Miner. Res.
  • In 750 women (age 25–35), parity did not negatively impact bone mineral density; spine BMD was 2.1% higher at 35 years (p=.043).
  • Overall BMD declined by age 35 (femoral neck -3.4%, total hip -2.7%), but pregnancy and lactation caused short-term losses (FN -4.3%, TH -3.7% with breastfeeding >15 months).
  • BMD recovered post-weaning; recent pregnancy (<12 mo) showed 4% lower TH BMD vs >36 mo (p=.032).

  • A PRISMA-based systematic review of 39 studies found type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) significantly increases hearing loss risk (53% vs 25%; RR=2.3)
  • Sensorineural loss predominated (46.2%), with WHO grades showing mild to profound impairment
  • Bilateral loss was common (29.6%)
  • Findings underscore integrating hearing assessments into routine T2DM care for early detection and management.

Int J COPD
  • Blood eosinophil counts (BEC) are key biomarkers for asthma and COPD management
  • This multicenter Indian study (16 clinics, 4,782 adults) found mean BEC higher in asthma (173.9) and COPD (198.4) patients than healthy volunteers (144.7)
  • Patterns mirror Western data, confirming BEC’s global applicability for obstructive lung disease and challenging assumptions of regional eosinophil variability.
