While plenty of horror readers love to be scared stiff by every book on their reading list, occasionally, a horror story that keeps things a little bit lighter can be a welcome relief. There’s really something to be said for horror books that aren’t too scary, as they can act as a good entry point for younger readers or give more room for thoughtful themes to be explored without being overwhelmed by terror.

Type 2 diabetes (T2D) patients have reduced bone turnover and increased fractures. Advanced glycation endproducts (AGEs) impair osteoblasts and are implicated in diabetic fractures. Pyridoxamine (PM) is a vitamin B metabolite which inhibits formation of AGEs. We hypothesized that PM treatment in older T2D patients, by inhibiting AGEs, would increase bone formation. Oral PM 200 mg twice daily for one year. The primary outcome was the change in the bone formation marker P1NP.

Leo Tolstoy’s observation in Anna Karenina is famous to the point of becoming a cliché: “All happy families are alike; each unhappy family is unhappy in its own way.” But it wouldn’t have become a truism if it didn’t resonate—whether or not you agree with the first part, the second half is inarguably a fact.
