Background: Menopause driven decline in estrogen exposes women to risk of osteoporosis. Detection of early onset and silent progression are keys to prevent fractures and associated burdens.
Methods: In a discovery cohort of 120 postmenopausal women, we combined repeated quantitative pulse-echo ultrasonography of bone, assessment of grip strength and serum bone markers with mass-spectrometric analysis of exhaled metabolites to find breath volatile markers and quantitative cutoff levels for osteoporosis.

Biomechanical analysis of spinal structures is crucial in the evaluation of injuries, the risk of fracture, and age-related changes. Osteoporotic vertebrae are very fragile and therefore constitute a serious risk, especially in the elderly. At present, clinically relevant decision making in fracture risk assessment is predicated upon finite element analysis (FEA), which utilizes high-resolution computed tomography (CT) scans from clinical practice alongside micro-CT scans from laboratory settings.

Vertebral compression fractures (VCFs) are the most common type of osteoporotic fractures, yet they are often clinically silent and undiagnosed. Chest frontal radiographs (CFRs) are frequently used in clinical practice and a portion of VCFs can be detected through this technology. This study aimed to develop an automatic artificial intelligence (AI) tool using deep learning (DL) model for the opportunistic screening of VCFs from CFRs.

The present minireview aims to provide a context for imagination of the timespan for bone infection evolution from the origin of cellular bone tissue to modern orthopedic surgery. From a phylogenetic osteomyelitis-bracketing perspective, and due to the time of osteocyte origin, bacteria might have been able to infect the skeleton for approximately 400 million years. Thereby, bone infections happened simultaneously with central expansions of the immune system and development of terrestrial bone structure.

Background: Blunt chest trauma (BCT) presenting to the emergency department is common and may cause life-threatening cardiac complications. Whilst complications causing haemodynamic instability are generally detected promptly, others may present late with long-term consequences. We describe a rare, serious complication of BCT presenting five years after a road traffic accident (RTA).
