A systematic review of evidence on malignant spinal metastases : natural history and technologies for identifying patients at high risk of vertebral fracture and spinal cord compression [PDF]
Background: Spinal metastases can lead to significant morbidity and reduction in quality of life due to spinal cord compression (SCC). Between 5% and 20% of patients with spinal metastases develop metastatic spinal cord compression during the course of ...

Compression Fracture in Postpartum Osteoporosis [PDF]
Dear Editor, I read with interest your article titled, "Compression fracture in postpartum osteoporosis".[1] I am a lactation consultant and I experienced a similar medical situation. I would like your readers to know that weaning is not necessarily indicated in the case of postpartum osteoporosis. Weaning was advised, but I was adamant to find a
