Launch-critical bibliography

Sources cited by working hypotheses and clinician questions (launch subset below — 37 website routes). Full catalog holds 339 cards (329 unique works) as data in the public GitHub repository; website detail routes are limited to this launch set so every route has inbound navigation. Paywalled PDFs and local research PDFs are never hosted or linked as files — use DOI or publisher landing pages only.

Identity checks are bibliographic only. All 42 cards cited by launch-critical content have had their identifiers resolved to a real published work. The remaining 287 catalog cards have not been checked. Semantic verification stands at 0 and always will — resolving an identifier proves a work exists, never that its contents support a medical claim.

Third-party license metadata honesty: 254 of 339 catalog cards (75%) currently record license as unknown or all-rights-reserved. This portfolio ships bibliographic metadata and own-words applicability notes only — it does not redistribute paywalled full texts. License fields are incomplete and must not be read as clearance to reuse the underlying works.

male-osteoporosis

Aetiology and clinical characteristics of male osteoporosis. Have they changed in the last few years?

Peris P, Martínez-Ferrer A, Monegal A, Martínez de Osaba MJ, Alvarez L, Ros I et al. — Clinical and Experimental Rheumatology

Applicability / notes. Filed in v0.4.0 as a second named counter for H2. A consecutive series describing what actually underlies male osteoporosis in practice, where identifiable secondary causes account for a large share and more than one cause is often present in the same person. Cited against the expectation of a single explanation. No DOI exists on the PubMed record for this article, which is why the field is empty rather than filled with a guess. Abstract-level only - the full text was not obtained, so no proportion or subgroup figure is carried across.

Relationship between Urinary Calcium and Bone Mineral Density in Patients with Calcium Nephrolithiasis

Sakhaee K, Maalouf NM, Poindexter J, Adams-Huet B, Moe OW — Journal of Urology

Applicability / notes. Filed in v0.4.0 to give H3 a named counter rather than an empty list. Examines how far urinary calcium alone tracks bone density in calcium stone formers. Cited for the magnitude question - whether urinary calcium excretion can carry the weight of explaining a bone density this low on its own - and not for any statement about this case. Used at abstract level only; no figure or table value is carried across. That is a limit on how this card is used, not on what is available - the full text is open in PMC.

Urine calcium excretion predicts bone loss in idiopathic hypercalciuria

Asplin JR, Donahue S, Kinder J, Coe FL — Kidney International

Applicability / notes. Longitudinal BMD data in IH stone formers; links magnitude of calciuria to femoral-neck rate of loss. Cited IH literature describes mild BMD reduction / rate-of-loss association; does not account for spine T −4.3 magnitude. The record documents one lifetime stone, passed spontaneously, and no stones on CT urogram 2026-02-27, so this cohort applies weakly rather than not at all (COR-0042).

Diagnostic yield of bone fragility gene panel sequencing in children and young adults referred for idiopathic primary osteoporosis at a single regional reference centre

Rouleau C, Malorie M, Collet C, Porquet-Bordes V, Gennero I, Eddiry S et al. — Bone Reports

Applicability / notes. Filed in v0.4.0 to give H2 a named counter. Reports what a bone fragility gene panel actually finds in people referred for unexplained markedly low BMD for age.

Society positions page also at iscd.org/official-positions-2023/. Core densitometry rules used here: Z-scores preferred in males <50; osteoporosis not diagnosed by BMD alone under age 50; each DXA facility should determine its precision error and calculate the LSC (manufacturer LSC not a substitute); TBS is appropriate in adults aged ≥40 years (male fracture-risk evidence primarily studied above age 50); VFA has formal indication criteria — low BMD/young age alone is not a VFA indication without other triggers.

Medical Management of Kidney Stones: AUA Guideline

Pearle MS, Goldfarb DS, Assimos DG, Curhan G, Denu-Ciocca CJ, Matlaga BR et al. — J Urol

Applicability / notes. AUA medical management guideline for adult kidney stone formers. Free full text. Statement 6 supports sodium-aware 24-h urine panels in the stone-former population. Extrapolation to this record — a minimal-burden stone-former with low BMD, one lifetime stone passed spontaneously — is the project's own inference, not a guideline claim. Not "directly portable." Statement 7: do NOT routinely perform fast-and-calcium-load testing.

Record overlap notes (research). 24h urine Ca values 283→254→333 (mg per 24h unit) (male; 2 of 3 below common 300 (mg per day unit) threshold); markedly low BMD for age with high-normal CTX; metabolic calcium-flux research framing (not a stone-former workup order)

Diagnostic criteria for small fibre neuropathy in clinical practice and research

Mutational Analysis Uncovers Monogenic Bone Disorders in Women with Pregnancy-Associated Osteoporosis: Three Novel Mutations in LRP5, COL1A1, and COL1A2

Butscheidt S, Delsmann A, Rolvien T, Barvencik F, Al-Bughaili M, Mundlos S et al. — Osteoporosis International

Applicability / notes. n=7 consecutive women with pregnancy-associated osteoporosis; mutational analysis uncovered three novel mutations (LRP5, COL1A1, COL1A2) — 3/7 genetic yield in this small series, not a population rate. Women-only; male applicability is analogy only (physiologic stressors may unmask monogenic fragility). Does not explain spine T −4.3 magnitude by itself.

Record overlap notes (research). early markedly low BMD for age unmasked by stressor; monogenic LRP5/COL1 spectrum; idiopathic OP genetics analogy for men

Fracture risk among patients with urolithiasis: a population-based cohort study

Melton LJ 3rd, Crowson CS, Khosla S, Wilson DM, O'Fallon WM — Kidney International

Applicability / notes. Filed in v0.4.0. Population cohort reporting that excess fracture risk in stone disease was confined to the spine, with no increase at hip, pelvis, humerus or forearm. Cited as a limit on how much a stone-and-calcium mechanism can explain when low readings appear at several sites at once. Applicability here is weak in a specific and stated way - this is a cohort of symptomatic stone formers, and the documented history is a single stone in one episode, so the comparison is to the mildest end of that cohort. Do not read it as evidence that stones are harmless to bone; the vertebral signal it reports is real.

Record overlap notes (research). one lifetime stone documented; low BMD at spine, hip and forearm
