Unlabelled: The risk of a recurrent fragility fracture is particularly high immediately following the fracture. This study provides adjustments to FRAX-based fracture probabilities accounting for the site of a recent fracture.
Introduction: The recency of prior fractures affects subsequent fracture risk. The aim of this study was to quantify the effect of a recent sentinel fracture, by site, on the 10-year probability of fracture determined with FRAX.
Methods: The study used data from the Reykjavik Study fracture register that documented prospectively all fractures at all skeletal sites in a large sample of the population of Iceland. Fracture probabilities were determined after a sentinel fracture (humeral, clinical vertebral, forearm and hip fracture) from the hazards of death and fracture. Fracture probabilities were computed on the one hand for sentinel fractures occurring within the previous 2 years and on the other hand, probabilities for a prior osteoporotic fracture irrespective of recency. The probability ratios provided adjustments to conventional FRAX estimates of fracture probability for recent sentinel fractures.
Results: Probability ratios to adjust 10-year FRAX probabilities of a major osteoporotic fracture for recent sentinel fractures were age dependent, decreasing with age in both men and women. Probability ratios varied according to the site of sentinel fracture with higher ratios for hip and vertebral fracture than for humerus or forearm fracture. Probability ratios to adjust 10-year FRAX probabilities of a hip fracture for recent sentinel fractures were also age dependent, decreasing with age in both men and women with the exception of forearm fractures.
Conclusion: The probability ratios provide adjustments to conventional FRAX estimates of fracture probability for recent sentinel fractures.

Ceramics exhibit exceptional strength, hardness, and structural stability, rendering them indispensable as aerospace, national defense, and biomedical applications. However, the presence of robust covalent or ionic bonds within the ceramic leads to its inherent poor fracture toughness. The incorporation of toughening phases into ceramics is widely recognized as an optimal toughening strategy for ceramic matrix composites (CMCs) based on chemical means, with the interplay between toughening phase and ceramic at the interface playing a crucial role in achieving superior mechanical properties.

Nonunion fractures present a significant clinical challenge because of their complex microenvironment, which includes poor vascularization, insufficient osteogenesis, infection, and separation of fracture ends. The current clinical treatments have certain limitations. Inspired by this phenomenon, sandcastle worms secrete adhesive proteins that bind sand grains, shell fragments, and mineral particles, thereby constructing their "castles.

Background: A subchondral stress fracture of the femoral head (SSFFH) is managed with nonoperative treatment. There is a lack of knowledge regarding whether hip arthroscopic management is effective for active patients with SSFFHs.
Purpose: To elucidate whether arthroscopic management of SSFFHs enables active patients to return to sports activity.

Introduction: McCune-Albright syndrome (MAS) is a rare disease caused by somatic gain-of-function variants in the gene that lead to constitutive activation of the G protein alpha subunit (Gsα). Pathologic consequences can involve several tissues. Fibrous dysplasia (FD), café-au-lait skin macules and hyperfunctioning endocrinopathies are classic manifestations.

Accessing the deep terrestrial subsurface (greater than 1 km below the surface) presents significant practical challenges, leaving these ecosystems largely uncharacterized despite their extensive presence beneath Earth's landmasses. In this study, we introduce the BedrettoLab Deep Life Observatory (DELOS), a new underground laboratory to study the biogeochemical diversity of groundwater in a high-altitude Alpine catchment tens of meters to 1.6 km underground.
