Article Synopsis
- Adults with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) are more likely to have osteoporosis, yet their bone health is often overlooked.
- A study involving 361 COPD patients found that 53% showed signs of poor bone health, with indicators such as previous fractures and medication usage.
- The likelihood of these indicators increased with age and was significantly higher in females, highlighting the need for more awareness and care regarding bone health in COPD patients.

COST appears to have a sporadic presentation, affecting both sexes and patients of variable ethnicity and age group and predominantly occurring on the bulbar conjunctiva as a slow-growing asymptomatic or slightly tender mass-like lesion.

Myocardial injury after non-cardiac surgery is common and defined as myocardial ischaemia within 30 days after non-cardiac surgery. Diagnosis of myocardial injury after non-cardiac surgery is challenging as this could be clinically asymptomatic during the postoperative period due to many other factors. Role of high-sensitive cardiac troponin in diagnosing myocardial injury after non-cardiac surgery had been evaluated in several studies.
