The availability of large-scale air traffic data, including aircraft operating at very low levels, opens new possibilities for a quantitative evaluation of the risk of mid-air collisions for drones, esp. in beyond visual line-of-sight operations. The contribution of this paper boils down to a three-fold evaluation of such a risk using the reference...

Probabilistic models including clinical risk factors with or without bone mineral density (BMD) have been developed to estimate the 5‐ or 10‐year absolute fracture risk. We investigated the performance of the FRAX and Garvan tools in a well‐characterized population‐based cohort of 3560 postmenopausal, volunteer women, aged 60 to 85 years at baselin...

Background Patients admitted to hospital for surgery are at increased risk of venous thromboembolism (VTE). Pharmaco-thromboprophylaxis and mechanical prophylaxis (usually graduated compression stockings (GCS) or intermittent pneumatic compression) has been shown to reduce the incidence of VTE. The evidence base supporting The National Institute fo...

We performed a systematic review of the literature to describe current knowledge of cardiovascular (CV) risk prediction algorithms in rheumatic diseases. A systematic search of MEDLINE, EMBASE, and Cochrane Central databases was performed. The search was restricted to original publications in English, had to include clinical CV events as study outc...

The Outcome Measures in Rheumatology Soluble Biomarker Working Group initiated an international, multicenter, prospective study, the Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA) BIODAM cohort, to generate resources for the clinical validation of candidate biomarkers predictive of radiographic progression. This first report describes the cohort, clinical outcomes, and...

People who have their leg immobilised in a plaster cast or brace following an injury are at risk of developing a blood clot. Sometimes the clot can break up and lodge in the lungs, which can make the person seriously ill. Drugs that thin the blood (anticoagulants) can reduce the risk of blood clots, but they carry a small risk of serious bleeding. ...
