Review Meta AnalysisClinical review: The effect of vitamin D on falls: a systematic review and meta-analysis.
Vitamin D affects bone and muscle health and likely reduces the risk of falls in the elderly. ⋯ Vitamin D combined with calcium reduces the risk of falls. The reduction in studies without calcium coadministration did not reach statistical significance. The majority of the evidence is derived from trials enrolling elderly women.

Meta AnalysisEffects of tesamorelin (TH9507), a growth hormone-releasing factor analog, in human immunodeficiency virus-infected patients with excess abdominal fat: a pooled analysis of two multicenter, double-blind placebo-controlled phase 3 trials with safety extension data.
HIV patients treated with antiretroviral therapy (ART) often develop increased visceral adipose tissue (VAT). ⋯ Treatment with tesamorelin reduces VAT and maintains the reduction for up to 52 wk, preserves abdominal sc adipose tissue, improves body image and lipids, and is overall well tolerated without clinically meaningful changes in glucose parameters.
