A prominent anterior bulge on a ceratopsian dinosaur phalanx was examined for evidence of infection or stress (fatigue) fracture. The presence of a knife-slice type radiolucency, associated with periosteal reaction, was pathognomonic (diagnostic) for a stress fracture. Stress fractures have previously been recognized only in humans, racing greyhounds, and horses.

Current work reports on evaluation of bulk mechanical properties of High Density Polyethylene (HDPE) reinforced with functionalized 1D (Multi Walled Carbon Nanotubes- (MWCNTs) and 2D (hexagonal-Boron Nitride Nanoplatelets-(h-BNNPs) fillers. Mechanical mixing and injection moulding technique was used to prepare the composites. Evaluation of bulk mechanical properties like hardness, yield stress, fracture stress, impact toughness and Young`s modulus was carried out. The optimum properties were exhibited by HDPE/0.25 MWCNT/0.1 BNNP. Hardness, yield stress, fracture stress, impact toughness and Young`s modulus was observed to increase by 93.84, 80.83, 59.23, 115 and 42.05% on comparison with pure HDPE. TEM images confirm the tubular and hexagonal morphology of MWCNT and h-BNNP. It is concluded from test results that addition of MWCNT and h-BNNP into HDPE has improvised mechanical properties.

The athlete with shin pain presents a difficult diagnostic problem. As many as 20% of these patients may have stress fractures, and the only effective treatment is prolonged (6 to 10 weeks) rest from sports. Continuation of activity can lead to a complicated and protracted course. It is important, therefore, to separate fracture from other common causes of shin pain, ie, "shin splints" (when severe called the anterior tibial compartment syndrome) and tendonitis. The diagnosis can often be made clinically by the finding of localization of tenderness (over the anterior tibial tendon in tendonitis and over the lower two thirds of the medial-tibial area in shin splints). With a stress fracture, the tenderness is usually localized.
