- In 7 real-world studies 7,112 infants, maternal RSVpreF (Respiratory Syncytial Virus bivalent prefusion F protein) vaccination (≥14 days before delivery) reduced RSV-associated LRTI hospitalization by 82% in infants aged 0 to 3 mos
- Vaccine effectiveness against RSV hospitalization remained 78% through 6 mos of age
- Maternal RSVpreF vaccination provided strong protection against severe RSV outcomes to 6 months.

- An asymmetric bidirectional relationship exists between diabetes & osteoarthritis (OA)
- Amongst UK Biobank subjects followed for 13.5 yrs, baseline diabetes was linked to earlier knee OA onset before BMI adjustment (TR 0.91; p<0.001), but not after BMI adjustment (TR 1.04)
- Conversely, prevalent Knee OA (TR 0.91; p=0.005) & hand OA (TR 0.68; p=0.021) predicted earlier diabetes onset, independent of BMI.
11 Sep, 26Osteoporos. Int.
- In 477,605 individuals (27,942 with T2D), 21,581 major osteoporotic fractures occurred over 1,358,739 person-years
- Systemic glucocorticoid use increased fracture risk by 70% versus pre-treatment periods (IRR 1.70)
- T2D did not modify glucocorticoid-associated fracture risk (interaction IRR 1.01); findings were consistent across age, sex, and sensitivity analyses.

- This nationwide retrospective study of over one million men found that symptomatic benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) was associated with a markedly increased risk of kidney stone formation
- After propensity score matching, men with BPH were about 2.5 times more likely to develop stones across all age groups
- The association may reflect fluid restriction behaviors or shared underlying biological mechanisms.
