A Functional Single-Nucleotide Polymorphism Upstream of the Collagen Type III Gene Is Associated with Catastrophic Fracture Risk in Thoroughbred Horses [PDF]
Fractures caused by bone overloading are a leading cause of euthanasia in Thoroughbred racehorses. The risk of fatal fracture has been shown to be influenced by both environmental and genetic factors but, to date, no specific genetic mechanisms ...

Bone mineral density and fracture risk in patients with rheumatic diseases
Introduction: Decrease in bone mineral density (BMD) and risk of fractures in rheumatic diseases (RD) is caused by the pathogenetic mechanisms underlying RD and the effects of drugs used to treat them on bone.Aim of the study: to assess the condition of ...

Fracture Risk Following an Atypical Femoral Fracture [PDF]
ABSTRACT Atypical femoral fractures (AFFs) occurring during the course of osteoporosis treatment usually lead to discontinuation of anti-resorptive (AR) drugs. However, the risk of fracture after an AFF is unknown. We conducted a follow-up study of patients with AFF matched 1:3 for age and gender with patients with a peripheral major ...

Fracture Risk Score and Absolute Risk of Fracture
To report the 5- and 10-year absolute risk of fracture associated with the previously reported fracture risk (FRISK) score.All participants gave written, informed consent, and the Barwon Health Human Research Ethics Committee approved the study. An age-stratified population-based sample of women aged 60 years and older (n = 600) was recruited during ...
