Predicting the risk of preterm birth (PTB) and hence implementing preventive strategies is complicated by the heterogeneity of the condition, the many unknown mechanisms involved, and the lack of reliable predictive tools.

More than 200,000 American women every year experience hip fractures, and up to three-quarters of them never fully regain their ability to resume normal activities like walking, even after undergoing weeks of exercise rehabilitation.
