Background: Bone mineral density (BMD) is an indicator of bone health that predicts future bone fractures. The Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index (WOMAC) is used to assess the severity of symptoms related to pain, stiffness, and function in diseased hip and knee joints. Here we assessed whether BMD measured at specific sites predicts WOMAC scores in healthy individuals whilst controlling for sociodemographic variables.

Method: Young Canadians who used to vape ( = 772) completed an online survey on maintenance period, quit strategies, and relapse triggers. Logistic regression was employed to variables associated with maintenance period.
Article Synopsis
- Breast cancer has become the most common cancer worldwide, with metastatic cancer being the leading cause of death related to this disease, prompting the development of early detection methods using non-invasive biomarkers.
- Exosomes, which are tiny vesicles released by cancer cells, play a crucial role in transmitting signals and contain noncoding RNAs (ncRNAs) like miRNAs, lncRNAs, and circRNAs that influence various aspects of breast cancer progression, including growth, metastasis, and immune responses.
- The study examines the regulatory mechanisms of exosomes in breast cancer and aims to enhance understanding of the functions of exosomal ncRNAs to identify potential biomarkers and improve treatment strategies.
Article Synopsis
- Metastatic disease and cancer recurrence are major causes of cancer-related deaths, largely driven by circulating tumor cells (CTCs) and disseminated tumor cells (DTCs).
- Liquid biopsy, which uses rare CTCs for early-stage tumor detection, is a promising minimally invasive technique that enhances tumor management.
- To effectively utilize liquid biopsy, precise isolation of CTCs and their molecular identification through advanced technologies is essential for understanding cancer heterogeneity and improving diagnosis and monitoring.
Background: Classification systems are only useful if there is agreement among observers. The purpose of this study is to introduce a simple and clinically applicable classification system - The Copenhagen Classification System for Distal Humeral Fractures (CCDHF) and to compare the interobserver and intraobserver agreement for this classification with the Arbeitsgemeinschaft für Osteosynthesefragen/Orthopedic Trauma Association (AO/OTA), and the Sheffield classification systems. The primary objective of the new classification system is to distinguish fractures that may not be suitable for open reduction and internal fixation, necessitating treatment options such as elbow hemiarthroplasty or total elbow arthroplasty (TEA).
