Catalyst-free chemistry makes self-healing materials more practical
A new catalyst-free, self-healing material system developed by researchers at the University of Illinois offers a far less expensive and far more practical way to repair composite materials used in structural applications ranging from airplane fuselages to wind-farm propeller blades. view more (2007-11-28)
MIT researcher sees big impact of little cracks
An MIT researcher's atom-by-atom simulation of cracks forming and spreading may help explain how materials fail in nanoscale devices, airplanes and even in the Earth itself during a quake. view more (2006-01-19)
Hormone Replacement Therapy - reviewing the evidence
A rapid review article in this week's issue of THE LANCET weighs up the current evidence for the health outcomes of hormone replacement therapy (HRT) use. The review-which includes data from the recently published Womens Health Initiative (WHI) study-provides consistent evidence to refute the widely held view that HRT may be protective against... view more...

New study finds shock-wave therapy for unhealed fractured bones
When fractured bones fail to heal, a serious complication referred to as "nonunion" can develop. This occurs when the process of bone healing is interrupted or stalled. view more (2009-11-03)
CANADIAN STUDY SUGGESTS GUIDELINES FOR USE OF CT SCANS FOR MINOR HEAD INJURY (p 1391)
A sensitive decision rule for CT scans described in this week's issue of THE LANCET could standardise and improve the emergency management of patients with minor head injury. An estimated one million patients with head injury are seen yearly in North American emergency departments and most are classified as minimal or minor. Patients with minimal... view more...

Press conference: 31st European Symposium On Calcified Tissue, 7 June 2004
At the Acropolis Convention Centre, Nice, France. Bone diseases are an important cause of ill health. The most common is osteoporosis which affects 200 million women around the world and accounts for billions in healthcare treatment costs. Other diseases are less common but cause bone pain, deformity and fracture. view more (2004-03-17)

NHS makes bad use of hospital beds
*** PLEASE NOTE THIS RELEASE IS EMBARGOED UNTIL 00.01 28 NOVEMBER 2003 *** The NHS uses up to three and a half times the number of hospital bed days for conditions such as stroke and hip fracture as health organisations in the United States, according to researchers in this week's BMJ. They compared the NHS with two health organisations (Kaiser... view more... (2003-11-26)
Estrogen is important for bone health in men as well as women
Although women are four times more likely than men to develop osteoporosis, or porous bone, one in 12 men also suffer from the disease, which can lead to debilitating - or even life-threatening - fractures, mainly of the spine, hip and wrist. view more (2007-05-11)
One therapeutic dose of radiation causes 30 percent spongy bone loss in mice
Mice receiving just one therapeutic dose of radiation lost up to 39% of the spongy portion of their inner bone, reducing the inner bone's weight bearing connections by up to 64%, researchers reported. view more (2006-07-13)
Organon, University of Twente and Delft University of Technology are jointly searching for innovative therapies to promote bone regeneration
The Dutch pharmaceutical company Organon, the University of Twente (UT) and the Delft University of Technology have jointly started a project with the goal of finding breakthroughs in our understanding of the mechanisms of bone formation. This should lead to the development of new drugs and protocols for tissue engineering. This will strengthen... view more... (2004-03-22)
