The role of different physical function tests for the prediction of fracture risk in older women

open access: yesJournal of Cachexia, Sarcopenia and Muscle
Background Physical function is an important risk factor for fracture. Previous studies found that different physical tests (e.g., one‐leg standing [OLS] and timed up and go [TUG]) predict fracture risk.

Developmental differences in cortical bone structure in chimpanzee and human femora reflect early locomotor independence in humans

open access: yesThe Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract The cortical bone structure of long bone diaphyses changes throughout growth via skeletal modeling and has important implications for bone strength and structural integrity. Ontogenetic trends in diaphyseal structure have been identified in both chimpanzees and humans but it is not yet clear how these trends compare given notable differences ...

Local variation in age‐related cortical expansion within and between cross‐sections of distal human long bones

open access: yesThe Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Cortical bone expansion is an age‐related process where, through endosteal resorption and periosteal apposition, cross‐sectional diameter increases while cortical thickness decreases in long bone diaphyses. Local variation has been observed in this process between cross‐sectional locations, but few studies have examined directional variation ...

Gut Health in Ostriches (Struthio camelus): Insights Into Intestinal Structure, Functions, Microbiome, and Improvement Strategies

open access: yesAnimal Research and One Health, EarlyView.
Our paper systematically reviews the intestinal structure, function, and microbiota of ostriches, along with strategies for improving their gut health. We analyze how these factors collectively influence intestinal homeostasis and ostrich welfare, emphasizing probiotics as a promising intervention to enhance gut health, boost population well‐being, and

Loss of Reduction and Clavicle Fractures Commonly Occur in Patients Undergoing Acromioclavicular Joint Reconstruction and Female Sex Is Associated With Higher Fracture Risk

open access: yesArthroscopy, Sports Medicine, and Rehabilitation, EarlyView.
Purpose To use a large, multi‐institutional database to characterize the outcomes and complication profile after primary acromioclavicular (AC) joint reconstruction and to evaluate potential sex‐related differences in outcomes and complications. Methods The TriNetX national database was queried for patients undergoing AC joint reconstruction between ...
