Terrorism and the medical response

Article Abstract:

The nature of the London bombings that occurred on 7 July 2005 demonstrates the value of planning and rehearsal and such preparations should recognize the changing nature of the threat. It is suggested that each city should review the provision of medical services and ensure that training and equipment are adequate and that the professionals can function in a structured and reliable fashion.

Postmenopausal osteoporosis

Article Abstract:

A 63-year-old woman presents with a history of acute low back pain and she also had menopause at 44 years of age but never received postmenopausal hormone-replacement therapy. It is suggested that a history of fragility fractures in a postmenopausal woman strongly supports a diagnosis of osteoporosis, regardless of bone mineral density.
