    Osteoporotic vertebral fractures can cause pain, increase thoracic kyphosis and fear, and impair the ability to perform activities of daily living.1 However, there is limited evidence on how to manage pain and other impairments in individuals with vertebral fractures, especially in the first 3 months after fracture. The purpose of this commentary is to highlight recent findings from an international consensus on the non-pharmacological and non-surgical management of osteoporotic vertebral fractures.2 The international panel included physiotherapists, endocrinologists, geriatricians and exercise professionals from Asia, Europe, North America and Oceania.2 We present a summary of the evidence on exercise after vertebral fracture, provide practical recommendations on exercise and physical activity after vertebral fractures, and discuss persisting knowledge gaps and future research directions. We performed a Cochrane review on exercise for people with vertebral fractures,3 which showed mod

    October 10, 2023 — Axon Therapies, a private company focused on addressing a root cause of heart failure, announced 6-month results of the REBALANCE-HF randomized, blinded feasibility trial of the Splanchnic Ablation for Volume Management (SAVM) procedure for heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF). The main objectives of the feasibility study were to demonstrate safety, evaluate the ease and repeatable nature of the procedure, and identify the subtype of patients most likely to respond to the therapy to inform future clinical trials. While there was no improvement with the SAVM procedure compared to a control sham procedure in the full study cohort, preliminary results identified HFpEF patients who are sensitive to acute shifts in blood volume during exercise or stress were more likely to be responsive to SAVM. The responder group, which made up more than half of the full cohort, saw clinically meaningful improvements in functional capacity, symptoms and quality of life
