Walking speed before surgery predicts who thrives after hip replacement

This study shows that preoperative gait speed is a strong predictor of patient-reported pain relief, function, and joint awareness after total hip arthroplasty for osteoarthritis. A walking speed of at least 1.0 m/s before surgery independently predicts excellent postoperative outcomes.

Trump wants Americans to make more babies. Critics say his policies won’t help raise them.

Maddy Olcott plans to start a career once she graduates from college. But the junior at the State University of New York-Purchase College is so far not planning to start a family — even with the Trump administration dangling inducements like thousand-dollar "baby bonuses" or cheaper infertility drugs.

Nearly one million young children die each year due to growth failure worldwide

Nearly one million children around the globe fail to reach their fifth birthday every year due to devastating health consequences linked to child growth failure, making it the third leading risk factor for mortality and morbidity in children under five.
