Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the prevalence and risk factors of vertebral fractures (VF) in older adults in The Gambia, highlighting the growing concern as the population ages.
- Results showed a VF prevalence of 14.8% and an incidence rate of 12.1%, with significant associations found between lower bone mineral density (BMD) and increasing age for both men and women.
- The findings emphasize the importance of recognizing and addressing vertebral fractures in resource-limited settings, as they present similar risks to those identified in other populations.
Objective: To determine the pharmacokinetics (PK) of metoclopramide administered via intravenous continuous rate infusion (IV CRI) and subcutaneous (SC) bolus and evaluate for gastrointestinal motility and adverse side effects.
Study Design: Experimental study; randomized, crossover design.
Animals: Six healthy adult horses.
Unlabelled: This study uses NHS waiting times and osteoporosis medication community prescription datasets to assess the impact of COVID-19 on DXA waits and osteoporosis medication patterns in England. Results show significant increases in DXA waiting list times and variation in prescription rates. Investment is needed to improve waiting list times.

Unlabelled: Elite adult male fast bowlers have high lumbar spine bone mineral, particularly on the contralateral side to their bowling arm. It is thought that bone possesses its greatest ability to adapt to loading during adolescence, but it is unknown at what age the greatest changes in lumbar bone mineral and asymmetry develops in fast bowlers.
Objectives: This study aims to evaluate the adaptation of the lumbar vertebrae in fast bowlers compared to controls and how this is associated with age.
