6

Type 1 diabetes is independently associated with higher risk of subtrochanteric, femoral shaft, and hip fractures in a Danish population study, with age as a confounding factor.

7

Oral icotrokinra demonstrates high clearance rates and durable responses at high-impact psoriasis sites over one year with no additional adverse events compared to placebo.
