TL;DR: It is shown that free testosterone within the normal range is a predictor of BMD at predominantly cortical bone sites and of previous osteoporosis‐related fractures in elderly Swedish men.

Dan Mellström,Liesbeth Vandenput,Hans Mallmin,Anna Holmberg,Mattias Lorentzon,Anders Odén,Helena Johansson,Eric S. Orwoll,Fernand Labrie,Magnus Karlsson,Östen Ljunggren,Claes Ohlsson +11 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the predictive role of serum sex steroids for fracture risk in men, serum E2 was analyzed by the specific gas chromatography-mass spectrometry technique at baseline in older men (n = 2639; mean, 75 yr of age) of the prospective population-based MrOS Sweden cohort.

Risk factors for fragility fracture in middle age. A prospective population-based study of 33,000 men and women.
TL;DR: The risk-factor pattern indicates a generally impaired health status, with mental health problems as a major contributor to fracture risk, particularly in men.
Biofilm formation by Propionibacterium acnes is a characteristic of invasive isolates
Anna Holmberg,Rolf Lood,Matthias Mörgelin,Bo Söderquist,Elisabet Holst,Mattias Collin,Bertil Christensson,Magnus Rasmussen +7 more
TL;DR: The presence of human plasma in solution or at the plastic surface inhibits biofilm formation, which could explain why P. acnes primarily infect plasma-poor environments of, for example, joint prostheses and cerebrospinal shunts.

Hip fracture, mortality risk, and cause of death over two decades
M. von Friesendorff,Fiona E. McGuigan,A. Wizert,Cecilia Rogmark,Anna Holmberg,Anthony D. Woolf,Kristina Åkesson +6 more
TL;DR: In a remaining lifetime perspective, all-cause and excess mortality after hip fracture was higher even over two decades of follow-up and highlights the need to further improve post-fracture management.
