[PMID: 38807014 DOI: 10.1007/s40618-024-02402-6] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/27/2024] [Accepted: 05/21/2024] [Indexed: 05/30/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Active and Environmental Tobacco Smoke (ETS) are a global cause of death. Osteoporosis (Op) is the most common metabolic bone disorder worldwide, impacting on mortality and disability, with high health and welfare costs. Active smoking is a known risk factor for Op, but there is few information regarding Op and ETS in men. PURPOSE The study aim is to evaluate the association between smoking habits and Op in community-dwelling men that have been subjected to Dual-X-ray Absorptiometry and completed a questionnaire about their own and cohabiter's smoking habits. METHODS We performed a cross-sectional study based on administrative data. This study is part of the SIMON protocol. The binary logistic regression analysis was used to estimate the role of ETS on the risk of Op, adjusting for age, body mass index (BMI), type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and eGFR. RESULTS Four hundred sixteen men were selected and, based on questionnaire replies, 167 were classified as current smokers (CS), 93 as passive smokers (PS) and 156 as never smokers (NS). NS showed a lower prevalence of past fragility fracture, radiological features of osteoporosis and hypovitaminosis D compared to PS and CS (p < 0.05). NS showed a lower prevalence of Op compared to PS and CS, also after correction for age, BMI, T2DM and eGFR (p < 0.05). CONCLUSION The study results demonstrate that PS and CS have a higher risk of Op, fragility fractures and vitamin D deficiency compared to NS.

Hilowle AH, Mohamed AH. Do Stone Characteristics and Laser Fiber Size Affect Ho: YAG Laser Time and Energy During Ureteroscopy? Res Rep Urol 2024; 16:115-121. [PMID: 38826868 PMCID: PMC11141737 DOI: 10.2147/rru.s464098] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/14/2024] [Accepted: 05/22/2024] [Indexed: 06/04/2024] Open
Abstract
Objective To assess the correlation of attenuation value measured as HU in Non-contrast computed tomography, stone size, location, fibre size and stone composition with Holmium: yttrium-aluminium garnet (Ho: YAG) laser parameters including, cumulative laser energy and final laser time. Materials and Methods We prospectively analyzed 118 patients undergoing flexible/semirigid ureteroscopy and Holmium: YAG laser lithotripsy from October 2022 to October 2023 at Mogadishu Urological Centre. Our study parameters encompass preoperative stone characteristics determined in NCCT (stone size, attenuation value, and stone location), fibre size, cumulative laser energy and time, overall operative time, and postoperative stone composition analysis. Results There were 118 patients eligible for our prospective study. In the logistic regression model for retrograde intrarenal surgery with a fibre size of 272 μm, cumulative laser energy showed a significant difference among stone size, location, fibre size, and calcium oxalate stones (P > 0.05). However, no significant difference was noticed in the attenuation value (P = 0.078) (R2 = 0.053). Our analysis showed a positive significance among all the parameters (P < 0.05) for laser time. In logistic regression for a rigid ureteroscope with a fibre size of 365 μm, cumulative laser energy showed a significant difference between the location stone and fibre size (P < 0.05) (R2 = 0.09). However, no significant difference was seen among stone size, attenuation value, and calcium oxalate stones (P > 0.05). For laser time, our analysis showed a positive significance among all parameters except the calcium oxalate stones, which showed no significant difference (P > 0.05). Conclusion Our study showed that stone location, hardness, and fibre size are the most critical factors influencing the outcome of Ho: YAG laser parameters. The study revealed that CaOMH stones require more time to disintegrate into smaller ones, while PH-dependent stones such as carbonate apatite may require less time to fragment.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Despite the prevalence and incidence of kidney stones progressively increasing worldwide, public awareness of this condition remains unclear. Understanding trends of awareness can assist healthcare professionals and policymakers in planning and implementing targeted health interventions. This study investigated online search interest in "kidney stone" by analyzing Google Trends, focusing on stationarity of the trends and predicting future trends. METHODS We performed time series analysis on worldwide Google monthly search data from January 2004 to November 2023. The Augmented Dickey-Fuller (ADF) test was used to assess the stationarity of the data, with a p-value below 0.05 indicating stationarity. Time series forecasting was performed using the autoregressive integrated moving average to predict future trends. RESULTS The highest search interest for "kidney stone" (score 100) was in August 2022, while the lowest was in December 2007 (score 36). As of November 2023, search interest remained high, at 92. The ADF test was significant (p = 0.023), confirming data stationarity. The time series forecasting projected continued high public interest, likely reflecting ongoing concern and awareness. Notably, diverse regions such as Iran, the Philippines, Ecuador, the United States, and Nepal showed significant interest, suggesting widespread awareness of nephrolithiasis. CONCLUSION This study highlighted that "kidney stone" is a consistently relevant health issue globally. The increase and stationarity of search trends, the forecasted sustained interest, and diverse regional interest emphasize the need for collaborative research and educational initiatives. This study's analysis serves as a valuable tool for shaping future healthcare policies and research directions in addressing nephrolithiasis related health challenges.

Abstract
PURPOSE Current smoking is a risk factor for osteoporosis (Op), but few data are available regarding the passive smoke impact on Op susceptibility. This cross-sectional study aimed to evaluate the association between the smoking habits and Op in community-dwelling women undergoing dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA). METHODS On 01/06/2018, general practitioners from "COMEGEN" Medical Cooperative, Naples, Italy, selected the medical records from the last 10 years of women who had a measurement of bone mineral density performed and simultaneously completed a questionnaire about their smoking behaviour and their cohabiters'. The binary logistic regression analysis was used to estimate the role of passive smoke on the risk of Op, adjusting for age and body mass index (BMI). RESULTS Among 10,616 subjects, 3942 were currently smokers [CS; mean age 69.4 ± 10.4 years; BMI 27.0 ± 4.9 kg/m2], 873 were passive smokers (PS; mean age 67.8 ± 11.6 years; BMI 27.0 ± 4.9 kg/m2) and 5781 were never smokers (NS; mean age 67.8 ± 11.6 years; body mass index (BMI) 27.0 ± 4.9 kg/m2). Of all, 8562 women (mean age 70.3 ± 10.2 yrs; BMI 27.0 ± 4.9 kg/m2) received the Op diagnosis. PS showed an increased Op risk compared to NS [odds ratio (OR) 1.38 (1.14-1.67)] and comparable to CS [OR 1.02 (0.84-1.24)]. CONCLUSION The study results demonstrate an association between passive smoke and Op in community-dwelling women already presenting with susceptibility to Op according to Italian essential assistance levels, suggesting that passive and active smoke are equivalent Op risk factors in women.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The prevalence of kidney stones tends to increase worldwide due to dietary and climate changes. Disease management involves a high consumption of healthcare system resources which can be reduced with primary prevention measures and prophylaxis of recurrences. In this field, collaboration between general practitioners (GPs) and hospitals is crucial. METHODS a panel composed of general practitioners and academic and hospital clinicians expert in the treatment of urinary stones met with the aim of identifying the activities that require the participation of the GP in the management process of the kidney stone patient. RESULTS Collaboration between GP and hospital was found crucial in the treatment of renal colic and its infectious complications, expulsive treatment of ureteral stones, chemolysis of uric acid stones, long-term follow-up after active treatment of urinary stones, prevention of recurrence and primary prevention in the general population. CONCLUSIONS The role of the GP is crucial in the management and prevention of urinary stones. Community hospitals which are normally led by GPs in liaison with consultants and other health professional can have a role in assisting multidisciplinary working as extended primary care.

Abstract
Purpose Nephrolithiasis is thought to be a risk factor for osteoporosis, but data assessing if osteoporosis predisposes to the risk of nephrolithiasis are lacking. The present study aims to investigate whether patients with nephrolithiasis have a prominently higher prevalence of osteoporosis than the controls and vice versa via a cumulative analysis. Methods Four databases were used to detect the eligible studies. We calculated the relative risk (RR) with a 95% confidence interval (CI) to assess the combined effect. The methodologies for conducting this study followed the PRISMA guidelines and were registered in the PROSPERO (ID: CRD42023395875). Results Nine case-control or cohort studies with a total of 454,464 participants were finally included. Combined results indicated that there was a significantly higher prevalence of osteoporosis in patients with nephrolithiasis as compared to the general population without nephrolithiasis (overall RR from six studies= 1.204, 95%CI: 1.133 to 1.28, P< 0.001; heterogeneity: I2 = 34.8%, P= 0.162). Conversely, osteoporosis was significantly correlated to an increased risk of nephrolithiasis as compared to the controls without osteoporosis (overall RR from four studies= 1.505, 95%CI: 1.309 to 1.731, P< 0.001; I2 = 89.8%, P< 0.001). Sensitivity analysis on the two categories validated the above findings. No significant publication bias was identified in this study. Conclusions The present study highlighted a significantly high prevalence of osteoporosis in patients with nephrolithiasis and vice versa. This reciprocal association reminded the clinicians to conduct a regular follow-up assessment when managing patients with nephrolithiasis or osteoporosis, especially for the elderly.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Hyperuricemia and gout are risk factors of nephrolithiasis. However, it is unclear whether the ABCG2 gene contributes to the development of nephrolithiasis. We aimed to investigate the interaction between the ABCG2 rs2231142 variant and incident nephrolithiasis in the Taiwanese population. METHODS A total of 120,267 adults aged 30-70 years were enrolled from the Taiwan Biobank data-base in this retrospective case-control study and genotyped for rs2231142. The primary outcome was the prevalence of self-reported nephrolithiasis. The odds ratio (OR) of incident nephrolithiasis was analyzed by multivariable logistic regression models with adjustment for multifactorial confounding factors. Associations of the ABCG2 rs2231142 variant with serum uric acid levels, and the incident nephrolithiasis were explored. RESULTS The frequency of rs2231142 T allele was 53%, and 8,410 participants had nephrolithiasis. The multivariable-adjusted OR (95% confidence interval) of nephrolithiasis was 1.18 (1.09-1.28) and 1.12 (1.06-1.18) for TT and GT genotypes, respectively, compared with the GG genotype (p<0.001), specifically in the male population with hyperuricemia. Higher age, male sex, hyperlipidemia, hypertension, diabetes mellitus, hyperuricemia, smoking and overweight were independent risk factors for nephrolithiasis. In contrast, regular physical exercise is a protective factor against nephrolithiasis. CONCLUSIONS ABCG2 genetic variation is a significant risk of nephrolithiasis, independent of serum uric acid levels. For rs2231142 T allele carriers, our result provides evidence for precision healthcare to tackle hyperuricemia, comorbidities, smoking, and overweight, and recommend regular physical exercise for the prevention of nephrolithiasis.

Abstract
PURPOSE We have recently demonstrated a significant association between osteoporosis (Op) and metabolic syndrome (MetS) in Caucasian women examined by Dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) for suspected Op. This cross-sectional study was performed to evaluate the association between MetS and Op in Caucasian men enrolled in the same geographical area, with identical criteria and in the same time range. METHODS Among subjects enrolled in the SIMON study, we selected the medical records of all free-living men who performed a contextual evaluation of both bone mineral density (BMD) by DXA and MetS constitutive elements (arterial blood pressure, waist circumference, serum levels of triglycerides, high-density lipoprotein cholesterol, and fasting glucose). All enrolled subjects refer to "COMEGEN" general practitioners' cooperative operating in Naples, Southern Italy. RESULTS Overall, the medical records of 880 men were examined. No significant association between MetS and Op was observed. Among MetS constitutive elements, waist circumference was inversely related to Op risk. CONCLUSION In Caucasian men examined by DXA for suspected Op, no significant association was observed between Op and MetS. The study results contrast to those observed in women enrolled in the same geographical area, with identical criteria and in the same time range and may be related to sexual dimorphism occurring in clinical expressiveness of both MetS and Op.

Abstract
PURPOSE Osteoporosis (Op) and metabolic syndrome (MetS) are two common disorders showing common pathogenic patterns. This cross-sectional study was performed to evaluate if MetS and its constitutive elements are associated to an increased risk of low bone mineral density (BMD) in free-living women examined by Dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) for suspected Op. METHODS 13,182 free-living Caucasian women referring to "COMEGEN" general practitioners cooperative operating in Naples, Italy, performed a contextual evaluation of BMD by DXA and all MetS constitutive elements (systolic and diastolic blood pressure, waist circumference, serum levels of triglycerides, high-density lipoprotein cholesterol, and fasting glucose) between June 1st 2008 and May 31st 2018. Subjects aged less than 40 years or with signs or symptoms suggestive of secondary Op were excluded from the study. RESULTS MetS is associated to an increased risk of low BMD (Odds Ratio 1.19; 95% Confidence Interval 1.08-1.31). Among MetS constitutive elements, hypertension was associated to increased risk of low BMD, whereas high fasting glucose level/diabetes were associated to reduced risk of low BMD. CONCLUSIONS The significant association between Op and MetS in free-living women examined by DXA for suspected Op suggests the advisability of a contextual evaluation of both disorders in this setting.

Abstract
Idiopathic osteoporosis and nephrolithiasis are formidable health problems showing a progressive increase in their incidence and prevalence in the last decades. These temporal trends were observed in both pediatric and adult populations worldwide. Epidemiological and experimental studies indicate that both disorders show several common pathogenic environmental and genetic factors. In this review, we analyzed the clinical characteristics common to the two disorders and the state-of-the-art knowledge regarding the genetic predisposition and the environmental factors recognized as triggers in adult and pediatric ages. As a result of this work, we propose to consider idiopathic nephrolithiasis and osteoporosis as two possible expressions of a unique clinical syndrome. Accordingly, the clinical approach to both disorders should be modified in order to program an efficient primary and secondary prevention strategy.
