Genetic polymorphisms of NOS2 and predisposition to fracture non-union: A case control study based on Han Chinese population. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2018 A non-union, especially atrophic non-unions, is a permanent failure of healing following a fracture and can be difficult to treat. Approximately 5-10% of fractures will result in a non-union during the healing process.

Clinical Insights Into Hypercalcemia of Malignancy in Childhood
Pediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Hypercalcemia of malignancy (HCM) is a rare but life‐threatening metabolic emergency in children that occurs in less than 1% of pediatric cancer cases, with a reported incidence ranging from 0.4% to 1.0% across different studies. While it is observed in 10%–20% of adult malignancies, pediatric HCM remains relatively uncommon.

Macro- and micro-modeling of crack propagation in encapsulation-based self-healing materials : application of XFEM and cohesive surface techniques [PDF]
, 2017 Encapsulation-based materials are produced introducing some small healing fluid-filled capsules in a matrix. These materials can self-heal when internal cracks intercept and break the capsules.

Pediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Background Osteosarcoma (OS) and Ewing sarcoma (EWS) are the most common primary bone cancers in children, but acute thrombosis is poorly characterized in this population. Our study evaluated the rates of venous thromboembolism (VTE) and associated risk factors in pediatric patients with bone sarcomas treated over a 10‐year period encompassing
