Drugs such as denosumab and teriparatide can be used by anyone with osteoporosis, but are more likely to be recommended for people with unique circumstances, including severe osteoporosis with very low bone density, multiple fractures, steroid use and young age.
Every six years, Earth spins slightly faster and then slower. Cyclic changes in day length overlie decades-long trends. The world turns slightly faster and slower on a regular 5.9-year cycle, a new study suggests. Researchers also found small speed changes that happen at the same time as sudden alterations in Earthâs magnetic field.
The Earth rotates (spins) counter-clockwise as viewed from above the North Pole, which is also from above the ecliptic plane of the solar system. This is the arbitrary up and down convention that allows us to say which direction the Earth is spinning. Most other objects in the solar system spin and orbit counter-clockwise as well. Depending on your location on the planet, the Earth's spin (west to east) could be seen as clockwise or counter-clockwise. In the Northern Hemisphere, looking south toward the equator, the Earth turns counter-clockwise.
