These rooms should be filled with newborn cries, the beeping of monitors, pregnant women being cared for, patients finding relief amid a genocide. Instead, these rooms now stand empty because MSF was forced to evacuate our last functioning health facility in Gaza.

Belatedly sharing our follow up #pQCT paper in which we observed trabecular bone deficits of >5% in mid-life Zimbabwean women living with #HIV. This was most pronounced at the distal radius, a common site of postmenopausal fracture. @celiagregson.bsky.social @thruzim.bsky.social

Insightful preprint by Mesinovic et al. @deakinuniversity.bsky.social and @monashuniversity.bsky.social finding that #OsteoStrong does not improve #DXA bone density nor #HR-pQCT microstructure or strength in #postmenopausal women with low BMD. Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence!

Pleased to be able to share our recently published systematic review in MDCP which appraised how current clinical practice guidelines approach the management of #osteoporosis for people with #Parkinson's. doi.org/10.1002/mdc3...

At last somebody says it like it is. The video is well worth watching too.

Eric Topol is a particularly troubling source of health research misinformation imo because so many who should know better take him so seriously. I can accept he's well intentioned, but he's wrong too often to be harmless.

Sharing our recent work on #HIV & #osteoporosis in midlife Zimbabwean women published #JBMR. 22% of women with HIV aged 40-60 yrs had a T-Score <-2.5, & 8.8% already had a fragility fracture. No women were taking #MHT or any osteoporosis treatment to reduce future risk: doi.org/10.1093/jbmr...

Great to see our latest Gambian bone and muscle ageing study paper on vertebral #fracture prevalence in the #Gambia accepted at #JBMR 🦴 🇬🇲 doi.org/10.1093/jbmr...

#HiSciSky I'm a research fellow at Monash University interested in musculoskeletal health, particularly 🦴 imaging (DXA, pQCT, HR-pQCT). I've just moved to Australia 🦘 from the UK. I'm interested in how our bones change across the lifecourse and the different factors that can influence it.
