Bone health in adults with non‐ambulatory neuromuscular disorders: scoping review of risk factors, diagnosis and management

Internal Medicine Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Non‐ambulatory adults have an increased risk of osteoporosis and fractures due to reduced weight‐bearing and diminished neuromuscular stimulation, resulting in substantial morbidity and mortality. Aims This scoping review aimed to systematically evaluate risk factors, diagnostic indicators and management strategies for optimising ...

AI‐enhanced decision support for fall patients: streamlining inpatient flow in the emergency department

International Transactions in Operational Research, EarlyView.
Abstract Emergency department (ED) overcrowding and inefficient patient flow are significant operational challenges, often amplified by the volume of patients sustaining fall‐related injuries. This study predicts hospital admission for these encounters by leveraging unstructured clinical text: triage chief complaints (reasons for seeking care) and ...

Functional polymorphisms in the P2X7 receptor gene are associated with stress fracture injury

, 2016
Context: Military recruits and elite athletes are susceptible to stress fracture injuries. Genetic predisposition has been postulated to have a role in their development.

Hip arthroscope-assisted percutaneous reduction and fixation of displaced subcapital femoral neck fracture

Frontiers in Surgery
Reduction quality is associated with fracture prognosis. Displaced subcapital femoral neck fracture has highest possibility of avascular necrosis of femoral head and non-union among the femoral neck fractures, which commonly necessitate revisions or hip ...

Clin‐STAR Corner: Practice Changing Advances at the Interface of Artificial Intelligence/Machine Learning and Geriatrics

Journal of the American Geriatrics Society, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Artificial intelligence (AI) methods, including machine learning (ML), are transforming healthcare by enabling personalized interventions that integrate multimodal data to support rehabilitation, preventive care, and remote monitoring. Despite their broad potential, older adults remain underrepresented in model development, raising concerns ...

Scaling relationships between Haversian canal‐to‐secondary osteon and midshaft femur cortical‐to‐total area in a human autopsy sample

Journal of Anatomy, EarlyView.
We report that femoral cortical thickness was strongly and negatively associated with secondary osteon porosity in an Australian autopsy sample, indicating that thicker cortices contained less porous secondary osteons. This allometric relationship held for the whole sample, males and sedentary well‐nourished individuals, but not for females or other ...
