RESUMO

Tooth eruption is an essential process for the development of the oral and maxillofacial system. Several inherited and acquired diseases might affect this tightly regulated process, resulting in premature, delayed, or even failed tooth eruption. The purpose of this article is to review the literature and the clinical parameters of metabolic bone diseases that affect tooth eruption. It examines the physiological aspects of tooth eruption and the pathophysiological changes induced by metabolic bone diseases, including changes in bone metabolism, density, and structure. The search strategy for this review included an electronic search in PubMed, Google Scholar, Medline, Scopus, and the Cochrane Library using the following keywords: "metabolic bone diseases", "tooth eruption", "delayed tooth eruption", and each reported disease in combination with "tooth eruption disorders", covering publications up to March 2024 and limited to English-language sources. Understanding the influence of metabolic bone diseases on tooth eruption is crucial for managing both dental and skeletal manifestations associated with these disorders. This review suggests that a multidisciplinary approach to treatment may significantly improve oral outcomes for patients suffering from such conditions. Clinicians should be aware of the specific dental abnormalities that may arise and consider comprehensive evaluations and individualized treatment plans. These findings underscore the need for further research into targeted therapies that address these abnormalities.

RESUMO

INTRODUCTION: Denosumab (Dmab) is widely used for the treatment of post-menopausal osteoporosis. Its discontinuation is sometimes accompanied by multiple vertebral fractures. Romosozumab (Rmab) has not been tested for its ability to prevent the rebound phenomenon. CASE PRESENTATION: We present the case of a 68-year-old female patient with post-menopausal osteoporosis under treatment with Rmab who presented with multiple vertebral fractures after denosumab discontinuation. The addition of Rmab did not prevent new-onset rebound-associated vertebral fractures. The patient discontinued Rmab and Dmab was re-initiated. After six months, no new vertebral fractures occurred, bone mineral density increased and bone turnover markers remained suppressed. DISCUSSION: Our clinical case illustrates the ineffectiveness of Rmab to prevent the multiple vertebral fracture cascade attributable to discontinuation of Dmab. We believe that treatment with Rmab might not be enough to prevent this phenomenon. Treatment with Dmab or possibly combination treatment with Dmab and Rmab could be another treatment option.

RESUMO

OBJECTIVE: Menopausal hormone therapy (MHT) has consistently shown a bone protective effect by reducing the risk of vertebral, non-vertebral, and hip fractures in postmenopausal women regardless of baseline fracture risk. However, the optimal sequential treatment after MHT discontinuation has not been determined. This systematic review aimed to obtain the best evidence regarding the effect of antiresorptive or osteoanabolic treatment on bone mineral density (BMD) and/or fracture risk following MHT. METHODS: A comprehensive search was conducted in the PubMed, Scopus, and Cochrane databases up to October 31, 2023. Randomized-controlled trials (RCTs) and observational studies conducted in postmenopausal women were included. RESULTS: After the exclusion of duplicates, 717 studies were identified. Two were eligible for qualitative analysis, one RCT and one retrospective cohort study. The RCT showed that alendronate 10 mg/day for 12 months further increased lumbar spine (LS) BMD by 2.3% following MHT and maintained femoral neck (FN) BMD in postmenopausal women (n = 144). It also decreased bone anabolic and resorption markers by 47 and 36%, respectively. In the retrospective study (n = 34), raloxifene 60 mg/day increased both LS and FN BMD at 12 months by 3 and 2.9%, respectively. No fractures were reported. CONCLUSIONS: Antiresorptive therapy with either a bisphosphonate (i.e., alendronate) or raloxifene could be considered a sequential antiosteoporosis therapy after MHT withdrawal since they have been shown in studies to further increase BMD. However, no safe conclusions can be drawn from the existing literature.

RESUMO

CONTEXT: The optimal management of pregnancy and lactation-associated osteoporosis (PLO) has not been designated. OBJECTIVE: To systematically review the best available evidence regarding the effect of different therapeutic interventions on bone mineral density (BMD) and risk of fractures in these patients. METHODS: A comprehensive search was conducted in PubMed/Scopus databases until December 20, 2022. Data were expressed as weighted mean difference (WMD) with 95% CI. The I2 index was employed for heterogeneity. Studies conducted in women with PLO who received any antiosteoporosis therapy were included. Studies including women with secondary causes of osteoporosis or with transient osteoporosis of the hip were excluded. Data extraction was independently completed by 2 researchers. RESULTS: Sixty-six studies were included in the qualitative analysis (n = 451 [follow-up time range 6-264 months; age range 19-42 years]). The increase in lumbar spine (LS) BMD with calcium/vitamin D (CaD), bisphosphonates, and teriparatide was 2.0% to 7.5%, 5.0% to 41.5%, and 8.0% to 24.4% at 12 months, and 11.0% to 12.2%, 10.2% to 171.9%, and 24.1% to 32.9% at 24 months, respectively. Femoral neck (FN) BMD increased by 6.1% with CaD, and by 0.7% to 18% and 8.4% to 18.6% with bisphosphonates and teriparatide (18-24 months), respectively. Meta-analysis was performed for 2 interventional studies only. Teriparatide induced a greater increase in LS and FN BMD than CaD (WMD 11.5%, 95% CI 4.9-18.0%, I2 50.9%, and 5.4%, 95% CI 1.2-9.6%, I2 8.1%, respectively). CONCLUSION: Due to high heterogeneity and lack of robust comparative data, no safe conclusions can be made regarding the optimal therapeutic intervention in women with PLO.

RESUMO

Childhood-onset osteoporosis is a rare but clinically significant condition. Studies have shown pathogenic variants in more than 20 different genes as causative for childhood-onset primary osteoporosis. The X-chromosomal PLS3, encoding Plastin-3, is one of the more recently identified genes. In this study, we describe five new families from four different European countries with PLS3-related skeletal fragility. The index cases were all hemizygous males presenting with long bone and vertebral body compression fractures. All patients had low lumbar spine bone mineral density (BMD). The age at the first clinical fracture ranged from 1.5 to 13 years old. Three of the identified PLS3 variants were stop-gain variants and two were deletions involving either a part or all exons of the gene. In four families the variant was inherited from the mother. All heterozygous women reported here had normal BMD and no bone fractures. Four patients received bisphosphonate treatment with good results, showing a lumbar spine BMD increment and vertebral body reshaping after 10 months to 2 years of treatment. Our findings expand the genetic spectrum of PLS3-related osteoporosis. Our report also shows that early treatment with bisphosphonates may influence the disease course and reduce the progression of osteoporosis, highlighting the importance of early diagnosis for prompt intervention and appropriate genetic counseling.

RESUMO

OBJECTIVES: Vitamin D and K are believed to promote bone health, but existing evidence is controversial. This study aimed to measure several metabolites of both vitamins by liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) in a cohort of postmenopausal women with low and normal bone mineral density (BMD). METHODS: Vitamin metabolites (25-hydroxyvitamin D (25[OH]D), 24,25-dihydroxyvitamin D (24,25(OH)2D), phylloquinone (K1), menaquinone-4 (MK-4) and MK-7) were measured in 131 serum samples by LC-MS/MS. The vitamin D metabolite ratio (VMR) was calculated. Parathyroid hormone (PTH), type I procollagen-N-terminal-peptide (PINP) and C-terminal telopeptides of type I collagen (CTX-I) were measured by immunoassay. Dual X-ray absorptiometry was performed to identify participants with normal (T-score>-1) and low (T-score<-1) BMD. RESULTS: Mean age was 58.2±8.5 years. BMD was normal in 68 and low in 63 women. Median (interquartile range) for 25(OH)D and total vitamin K concentrations were 53.5 (39.6-65.9) nmol/L and 1.33 (0.99-2.39) nmol/L. All vitamin metabolites were comparable in individuals with normal and low BMD. Furthermore, BMD and trabecular bone score were comparable in participants with adequate and inadequate vitamin status (at least one criterion was met: 25(OH)D <50 nmol/L, 24,25(OH)2D <3 nmol/L, VMR <4 %, total vitamin K <0.91 nmol/L). PTH, but not PINP or CTX-I, was inversely correlated with 25(OH)D, 24,25(OH)2D and VMR. Synergistic effects between vitamin D and K were not observed. CONCLUSIONS: Vitamin D and K status is not related to BMD and trabecular bone quality in postmenopausal women. Inverse associations were only seen between vitamin D metabolites and PTH.

RESUMO

Sarcopenia was recently identified as an entity in the ICD-10 classification of October 2016. According to the recommendation of the European Working Group on Sarcopenia in Older People (EWGSOP2), sarcopenia is defined as low muscle strength and low muscle mass, while physical performance is used to categorize the severity of sarcopenia. In recent years, sarcopenia has become increasingly common in younger patients with autoimmune diseases such as Rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Due to the chronic inflammation caused by RA, patients have reduced physical activity, immobility, stiffness, and joint destruction and all of that lead to the loss of muscle mass, muscle strength, disability and significantly lowering the patients' quality of life. This article is a narrative review about sarcopenia in RA, with a special focus in its pathogenesis and management.

RESUMO

Adults with ß- thalassemia major (ß-TM) develop low BMD and fragility fractures at a higher incidence and at a younger age compared to the general population. The disease itself, including direct effects of anemia and iron overload toxicity on bone turnover, genetic susceptibility, thalassemia-related endocrinopathies and acquittance of suboptimal peak bone mass contribute to low bone mass and increased bone fragility frequently encountered among these patients. Current management of osteoporosis requires long-term treatment that can be provided by agents that reduce the risk of all osteoporotic fractures by modulating bone metabolism with different mechanisms of action. These include inhibitors of bone remodeling (e.g., bisphosphonates, denosumab) and stimulators of bone formation (e.g., PTHR1 agonists and sclerostin antibodies). Considering the unique characteristics of osteoporosis associated with ß-TM and the clinical importance of balancing the risk/benefit of treatment in the long-term, appropriate use of these therapeutic approaches is essential for patient care. In this review we outline current literature on the use of anti-osteoporotic drugs in ß-TM patients with osteoporosis focusing on data on the efficacy, safety, and duration of treatment. In addition, we propose a long-term management plan for ß-TM -associated osteoporosis aiming at the optimal patient care for this special population.

RESUMO

Mosaicism, a state in which an individual has two or more genetically distinct populations of cells in the body, can be difficult to detect because of either mild or atypical clinical presentation and limitations in the commonly used detection methods. Knowledge of the role of mosaicism is limited in many skeletal disorders, including osteopathia striata with cranial sclerosis (OSCS) and cleidocranial dysplasia (CCD). We used whole-genome sequencing (WGS) with coverage >40× to identify the genetic causes of disease in two clinically diagnosed patients. In a female patient with OSCS, we identified a mosaic 7-nucleotide frameshift deletion in exon 2 of AMER1, NM_152424.4:c.855_861del:p.(His285Glnfs*7), affecting 8.3% of the WGS reads. In a male patient with CCD, approximately 34% of the WGS reads harbored a 3710-basepair mosaic deletion, NC_000006.11:g.45514471_45518181del, starting in intron 8 of RUNX2 and terminating in the 3' untranslated region. Droplet digital polymerase chain reaction was used to validate these deletions and quantify the absolute level of mosaicism in each patient. Although constitutional variants in AMER1 and RUNX2 are a known cause of OSCS and CCD, respectively, the mosaic changes here reported have not been described previously. Our study indicates that mosaicism should be considered in unsolved cases of skeletal dysplasia and should be investigated with comprehensive and sensitive detection methods. © 2022 The Authors.

RESUMO

Collagen peptides (CPs) have been shown to potentially have a role as a treatment option in osteopenia. In the present randomized prospective study, we examined the effect of calcium, vitamin D with and without CPs supplementation on changes in volumetric bone mineral density (vBMD) and bone geometry assessed by peripheral quantitative computed tomography at the tibia, areal bone mineral density (aBMD) assessed by dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry at the lumbar spine and the hip and bone turnover markers over 12-mo. Fifty-one postmenopausal women with osteopenia were allocated to Group A who received orally 5 g CPs, 500 mg calcium and 400 IU vitamin D3 and Group B who received the same dose of calcium and vitamin D3 per day. The primary endpoint was the change of trabecular bone mineral content (BMC) and vBMD after 12-mo supplementation in Groups A and B. At the trabecular site (4% of the tibia length), Group A had a significant increase of total BMC by 1.96 ± 2.41% and cross-sectional area by 2.58 ± 3.91%, trabecular BMC by 5.24 ± 6.48%, cross-sectional area by 2.58 ± 3.91% and vBMD by 2.54 ± 3.43% and a higher % change of these parameters at 12 mo in comparison to Group B (p < 0.01, p = 0.04, p < 0.01, p = 0.04, p = 0.02, respectively). At the cortical site (38% of the tibia length), total and cortical vBMD increased by 1.01 ± 2.57% and 0.67 ± 1.71%. Furthermore, the mean aBMD at the spine was higher (p = 0.01), while bone markers decreased in Group A compared to Group B. The present study shows improvement of trabecular and cortical parameters as assessed by peripheral quantitative computed tomography at the tibia, prevention of aBMD decline and decrease of bone turnover after 12-mo supplementation with calcium, vitamin D with CPs.

RESUMO

Hypophosphatasia (HPP) is an inherited metabolic disease caused by loss-of-function mutations in the tissue non-specific alkaline phosphatase (TNAP) gene. Reduced activity of TNAP leads to the accumulation of its substrates, mainly inorganic pyrophosphate and pyridoxal-5'-phosphate, metabolic aberrations that largely explain the musculoskeletal and systemic features of the disease. More than 400 ALPL mutations, mostly missense, are reported to date, transmitted by either autosomal dominant or recessive mode. Severe disease is rare, with incidence ranging from 1:100,000 to 1:300,000 live births, while the estimated prevalence of the less severe adult form is estimated to be between 1:3100 to 1:508, in different countries in Europe. Presentation largely varies, ranging from death in utero to asymptomatic adults. In infants and children, clinical features include skeletal, respiratory and neurologic complications, while recurrent, poorly healing fractures, muscle weakness and arthropathy are common in adults. Persistently low serum alkaline phosphatase is the cardinal biochemical feature of the disease. Management requires a dedicated multidisciplinary team. In mild cases, treatment is usually symptomatic. Severe cases, with life-threating or debilitating complications, can be successfully treated with enzyme replacement therapy with asfotase alfa.

RESUMO

We report a 41-year-old man diagnosed with the adult form of hypophosphatasia (HPP) and treated for 4 years with less frequent than conventional daily doses of teriparatide (TPTD). He presented with a history of three low-energy fractures and low bone mineral density (BMD) ineffectively treated with bisphosphonate. We identified within ALPL, the gene that encodes the homodimeric "tissue-nonspecific" isoenzyme of alkaline phosphatase (ALP) and underlies HPP, a heterozygous missense mutation (c.455 G>A→R135H). Characteristic painful periarticular calcification removed at a shoulder did not recur. However, access to medical treatment with asfotase alfa (AA) was denied. After he sustained a low-energy metatarsal fracture, we administered TPTD subcutaneously "off-label" at 20 µg/d. An elbow fracture occurred two months later. Five months afterwards, due to his limited number of approved TPTD doses, TPTD treatment was extended using alternate-day dosing. Although his serum ALP activity did not increase (33-48 U/l; reference range 40-120) with 4 years of TPTD treatment, his BMD improved 15% in the lumbar spine and 6% in the femoral neck with no further fractures. Our experience represents success overcoming two prescription deadlocks; AA was denied for adult HPP, and TPTD was not to be administered daily for more than two years.

RESUMO

This randomized controlled trial investigated the effects of a 5-month high-intensity hybrid-type neuromuscular training program with nontraditional implements on cardiometabolic health, redox status, and cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk in inactive overweight and obese women. Forty-nine inactive female participants with overweight and obesity (age: 36.4 ± 4.4 years; BMI: 29.1 ± 2.9 kg/m2) were randomly assigned to either a control (C, n = 21) or a training group (TR, n = 28). TR followed a 20-week supervised, progressive, time-efficient (3 days/week; 6-15 min net exercise time) program implementing loaded fundamental movement patterns with prescribed work-to-rest time intervals (20-40 s, 1:2, 1:1, 2:1) in a circuit fashion (2-3 rounds). Cardiometabolic risk factors were measured at baseline and post-training as secondary outcomes of a larger randomized controlled trial. At post-intervention, TR demonstrated favorable changes in resting heart rate (-7%, p = 0.043), high-density lipoprotein (+18.1%, p = 0.029), atherogenic index (-17%, p = 0.045), mean arterial pressure (-4.5%, p = 0.03), waist circumference (-6.2%, p = 0.005), waist-to-hip ratio (-4.6%; p = 0.015), metabolic syndrome severity score (-222%, p = 0.024), full 30-year CVD risk (-15.8%, p = 0.002) and hard 30-year CVD risk (-17.6%, p = 0.01), vascular age (-7.8%, p = 0.002), protein carbonyls (-45.7%, p = 0.001), catalase activity (+15.2%, p = 0.023), and total antioxidant capacity (+11.4%, p = 0.002) relative to C. Additionally, TR induced beneficial changes in fasting glucose (-3.4%, p = 0.002), homeostatic model assessment for insulin resistance (-15.7%, p < 0.001), diastolic blood pressure (-5.6%, p < 0.001), reduced glutathione (+39.8%, p < 0.001), 10-year CVD risk (-17.4%, p = 0.011), and total bilirubin (-21.7%, p < 0.001) compared to baseline. These results suggest that hybrid-type neuromuscular training may improve aspects of cardiometabolic health and antioxidant status in inactive overweight and obese women providing a time-efficient (~100 min/week) exercise approach in a real-world gym setting.

RESUMO

Pregnancy- and lactation-associated osteoporosis (PLO) is a rare disease, presenting in most cases with severe back pain due to low energy vertebral fractures (VFs). Our purpose was to assess the effect of teriparatide (TPTD) vs. conventional management on areal bone mineral density (aBMD) and trabecular bone score (TBS) in patients with PLO. A multicenter retrospective cohort study concerning premenopausal women with PLO. Nineteen women were treated with TPTD (20 µg/day) (group A) plus calcium and vitamin D and eight women with calcium and vitamin D only (group B) for up to 24 months. The primary end-point was between group differences in lumbar spine (LS) and total hip (TH) aBMD, and TBS at 12 and 24 months. Patients in group A had sustained a median of 4.0 VFs (3-9) vs. 2.5 VFs (1-10) in group B (p = 0.02). At 12 months, patients on TPTD vs. controls achieved a mean aBMD increase of 20.9  ±  11.9% vs. 6.2  ±  4.8% at the LS (p < 0.001), 10.0  ±  11.6% vs. 5.8  ±  2.8% at the TH (p = 0.43), and 6.7  ±  6.9% vs. 0.9  ±  3.7% in TBS (p = 0.09), respectively. At 24 months, seven patients on TPTD and six controls achieved a mean LS aBMD increase of 32.9  ±  13.4% vs. 12.2  ±  4.2% (p = 0.001). P1NP levels during the first month of TPTD treatment were positively correlated with the 1-year LS aBMD change (r = 0.68, p = 0.03). No new clinical fractures occurred while on-treatment. In patients with PLO, TPTD treatment resulted in significantly greater increases in LS aBMD compared with calcium and vitamin D supplementation at 12 and 24 months.

RESUMO

OBJECTIVE: We examined the role of vitamin D on volumetric bone mineral density (vBMD) and architecture during the first week's post-fracture in postmenopausal women (PMW) with distal radial fractures (DRF) treated conservatively using peripheral Quantitative Computed Tomography (pQCT). METHODS: Patients were classified into 2 groups according to initial median 25(OH)D level; Group A (25(OH)D ≥15 ng/ml) and group B (25(OH)D <15 ng/ml). All patients were followed for 12 weeks at three visits: baseline, 6 weeks and 12 weeks post fracture. pQCT was performed at baseline in fractured and contralateral non-fractured radius and at 6th and 12th week on the fractured side. RESULTS: 39 patients completed the protocol. Mean 25(OH)D levels were 15.60±7.35 ng/ml (3.5-41.7). Trabecular (trab) bone mineral content (BMC) and trabvBMD increased at 6 wk. vs. baseline (p<0.001). Cortical BMC, cortvBMD and cross- sectional area (CSA) progressively decreased (p<0.001) during the 12 weeks. There was no interaction between baseline 25(OH)D levels and changes in trabecular and cortical BMC, vBMD and CSA. Advanced age and higher CTX and P1NP were associated with higher cortical bone loss. CONCLUSION: Vitamin D deficiency does not affect the early architectural changes after a DRF. Advanced age and higher bone remodeling were associated with higher cortical bone loss, probably related to immobilization and independent of vitamin D levels.

RESUMO

Denosumab discontinuation results in rapid bone loss and increased risk of multiple rebound-associated vertebral fractures (RAVFs). The optimal treatment for patients who have sustained such fractures is currently unknown. We aimed to investigate the bone mineral density (BMD) changes achieved with various regimens in postmenopausal women who had sustained RAVFs after denosumab discontinuation in everyday clinical practice. In this multicenter, retrospective observational study, 39 Greek postmenopausal women from six regional bone centers throughout Greece with RAVFs after denosumab discontinuation were included. We collected BMD and fracture data before and 1 year after treatment with denosumab (n = 20), teriparatide (n = 8), zoledronate (n = 8) or teriparatide/denosumab combination (n = 3). Both lumbar spine (LS)-- and femoral neck (FN)-BMD were preserved with all regimens used. With the exception of zoledronate, a trend towards increase was observed with all regimens in LS-BMD. Three patients sustained additional fractures despite treatment reinstitution (2 with zoledronate and 1 with teriparatide). Among patients with RAVFs following denosumab discontinuation both antiresorptive (zoledronate and denosumab) and anabolic (teriparatide) treatment as well as the combination of denosumab with teriparatide seem to be effective in terms of BMD response.

RESUMO

Rebound-associated vertebral fractures (RAVFs) could occur in a minority of the patients who discontinue denosumab. In such patients, denosumab is often reinstituted to rapidly suppress bone turnover and avert the risk of additional fractures. Herein we report the cases of 2 patients who sustained RAVFs, and in whom resuming denosumab treatment did not avert the occurrence of new RAVFs a few months later, despite the suppression of bone turnover markers. It seems that denosumab reinstitution cannot completely eliminate the risk of new RAVFs and that the rebound of bone turnover may not be the sole mechanism to explain this phenomenon.

RESUMO

Epidemiological data report that several countries with a high prevalence of hypovitaminosis D may have increased susceptibility to complications and mortality due to COVID-19 infection. These reports, however, have limitations given that they derive from observational studies. Nevertheless, while awaiting more robust data, clinicians should treat patients with vitamin D deficiency irrespective of whether or not it has a link with respiratory infections.

RESUMO

Primary hyperparathyroidism (PHPT) is one of the most common endocrine disorders characterized by parathyroid hormone (PTH)-dependent hypercalcemia. Cardinal features include low trauma fractures, nephrolithiasis, and chronic kidney disease. Several experimental studies established that parathyroid hormone exerts actions on the cardiovascular (CV) system, including vasodilatation and positive inotropic and chronotropic effects. Observational studies, especially in severe cases, report a higher prevalence of hypertension, diabetes mellitus, lipid abnormalities, endothelial dysfunction, arrhythmias, and left ventricular hypertrophy in patients with PHPT, while the risk of CV events seems to be increased in severe cases. However, the effect of surgery is inconsistent on CV abnormalities and, more importantly, on CV disease (CVD) events, especially in mild cases. In the current review, we describe the available evidence linking PHPT and CVD, as well as the effect of surgical management and pharmacological treatment on CVD manifestations in patients with PHPT. Based on the current evidence, CVD is not considered an indication for surgery.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND/AIM: Postsurgical hypoparathyroidism (PostHypo) is a common complication after total thyroidectomy. We studied the risk factors associated with PostHypo. PATIENTS AND METHODS: The study included 109 women, (mean age: 50.7±10.75 years), who underwent total thyroidectomy for thyroid diseases. RESULTS: Based on the development of biochemical hypocalcemia on the first postoperative day following total thyroidectomy, (cCa<8.4 mg/dl), 37 women developed PostHypo and 72 did not. Younger age, a lower preoperative corrected calcium and the presence of parathyroid glands in the specimens were related to the development of PostHypo. Of all patients, 51.4% had a vitamin D deficiency. A parathyroid hormone (PTH) value ≤9.4 pg/ml was 84.9% sensitive and 71.4% specific to predict PostHypo on the 1st postoperative day. A 50% reduction of the PTH value on the 1st postoperative day from the preoperative level could identify patients who develop PostHypo with 76% sensitivity and 75% specificity. CONCLUSION: PTH postoperative measurement and its alteration from the preoperative level can be used to identify patients who are at increased risk to develop PostHypo.
