Acute mastoiditis in children: is computed tomography always necessary?
In most pediatric patients, CT does not seem to be indispensable in the diagnosis of AM. Conservative therapy and close follow-up seem to suffice for most.
A difference in fatigue behavior due to sex was not detected, but there was a large increase in fatigue resistance with age. This correlated with increased BMD and parallels a reduced risk of stress fracture due to age in military recruits. Skeletal "maturation" may play an important role in determining stress fracture risk. Increased risk in females may be due to mechanisms other than those that determine material behavior.
