US equities closed in the red for the third straight day, as mounting fears that the Federal Reserve's aggressive rate hikes will push the economy into a recession. The session put the major averages on pace to close the week with losses. The Dow Jones closed 0.35% lower, the S&P500 down 0.8% and the Nasdaq down 1.4%. Investors have been selling stocks following another rate hike from the Fed on Wednesday night. Bond yields surged again – the yields on the 10-year and 2-year Treasury notes notching fresh multiyear highs, hitting their highest levels since February 2011 and October 2007 respectively.  European stocks ended the day lower, after central banks in Switzerland and the UK, announced interest rate hikes. The Bank of England raised interest rates by 50 basis points, its seventh consecutive hike. What to watch today:The Australia market is set to fall 0.26% at the open this morning.In commodities, oil is trading higher, recovering from two consecutive sessions of losses, as hopes of higher Chinese demand and geopolitical tensions, more than offset global growth worries. Gold is in the red, sliding back towards the lowest levels in over two years. And iron ore has dropped to its lowest in nearly 10 months. Watch the share price movements today of Chalice Mining (ASX:CHN), which is set to release its earnings results today, and of Suncorp (ASX:SUN), which is set to hold its AGM today. Stocks going ex-dividend today include Vita Life Sciences (ASX:VLS) and Vulcan Steel (ASX:VSL).  Trading Ideas:Citi maintain a Buy rating on building products and services company Brickworks (ASX:BKW). The company's financials beat market consensus, with underlying profit rising by 159% on last year. While uncertainty is rising in the macro-outlook, Citi note that Brickworks management are confidence of growth with the property business in FY23. BWK's current share price is $21.69. If BKW meets the Citi price target of $26, it will return approximately 20%.

IntroductionJohn Roberts is the General Manager Eastern Hemisphere of the Woolmark Company - Australian Wool Innovation. IN his position he leads the Asian Woolmark offices as well as the Woolmark Resource Centre. In this interview, John Roberts shares insights into the Asian wool consumer and manufacturing markets. John also explains the concept and goal of the inspiring state of the art Woolmark Resrouce Centre. About John RobertsJohn brings nearly 30 years experience in the Wool Industry having worked in a wide range of industry sectors from primary production to processing, marketing and trading. He stems from a wool producing family in Binalong, NSW and started his career in the industry as a shipping and administration clerk for the Exporter Booth Hill & New Pty Ltd in Sydney in 1988. Since that time he spent a number of years as a wool buyer in Sydney before moving into wool trading. He continued to expand his experience in the industry working as the Senior Trader for Agrisk Pty Ltd developing risk management tools for wool growers before moving to Dubbo, NSW as the Topmaking and Trading Manager at Fletcher International. John returned to the Booth group (then owned by the German topmaker BWK) where he assumed the role of Trading Manager for both greasy wool and wool tops, based in Melbourne. He covered numerous key markets in his time trading including Italy, India, UK, USA Eastern Europe and China. As the groups processing expanded John was also overseeing the blending, processing and selling of wool tops ex Austops in Parkes, and the Geelong Wool Combing mill. When Elders bought BWK in 2000 John relocated to Adelaide and was able to work on a number of new sales initiatives that linked his extensive global sales network to Australian Wool Growers via the Elders broking arm. He extended this work when he was appointed to the role of Marketing & Trading Manager – China, based in Shanghai for 3 years. In that time he initiated the first Australian wool auctions held in China, developed a number of new mill direct selling avenues, led numerous farmer tours to China, and negotiated the sale of Austops and Joint Venture of Geelong Wool Combing with the Nanshan Group. John returned to Australia in 2006 in the role of General Manager for Elders Wool International where he oversaw the groups greasy wool trading and commission combing operations globally including the New Zealand greasy exporter J.S. Brooksbank. More recently John was General Manager of Dalgety Wool Exports before starting his own agricultural consulting business Eubindal Pty Ltd where he has worked on export initiatives in the wine and wool industries. He has spent the last 18 months working as the Executive Officer of the Wool Selling Systems Review that was commissioned by AWI.

Mechanisches Versagen thorakaler und lumbaler Wirbelkörper älterer Menschen - Vorhersage mittels Zwei-Energie Röntgenabsorptiometrie (DXA)

Osteoporotische Wirbelkörperfrakturen stellen ein großes sozioökonomisches Gesundheitsproblem dar. Klinisch wird derzeit zur Diagnosestellung der Osteoporose nach WHO-Empfehlung die lumbale DXA-Messung hinzugezogen. Die osteoporotischen Wirbelkörperfrakturen ereignen sich jedoch hauptsächlich in der thorakalen Wirbelsäule und im thorakolumbalen Übergangsbereich. Diese Areale sind jedoch der nicht-invasiven DXA-Messung aufgrund von Überlagerung anderer knöcherner Strukturen nicht zugänglich. In der vorliegenden Studie wurde die Hypothese untersucht, dass die auf der DXA basierende Vorhersage der Versagenslasten in der thorakalen Wirbelsäule durch a) die skelettale Heterogenität zwischen der lumbalen und thorakalen Wirbelsäule und b) durch die Artefakte bei der Bestimmung des lumbalen Knochenmineralgehaltes beeinflusst wird. Hierzu wurden die Korrelationen zwischen den in- und ex-situ erhobenen DXA-Parametern und den Versagenslasten bei älteren Individuen untersucht. Insgesamt wurden die Wirbelsäulen von 119 Präparate (76 Frauen, 82 ± 9 Jahre und 43 Männer, 77 ± 11 Jahre) untersucht. Nach der lumbalen DXA-Messung der Wirbelsäule unter In-situ Bedingungen in anterior-posteriorer (AP) Projektion erfolgte die Ex-situ – Messung in AP und in laterater Projektion. Anschließend wurden in einem axialen Kompressionsversuch, nach der Dreisegment-Methode, die Versagenslasten der Brustwirbelkörpersegmente (BWK) 5–7, 9–11 und dem Lendenwirbelkörpersegment (LWK) 2–4 bestimmt. Der Korrelationskoeffizient zwischen den Versagenslasten der beiden thorakalen Segmente betrug r = 0,85, die Versagenslasten der beiden thorakalen Segmente korrelierte mit dem lumbalen Segment nur moderat (BWK 6 vs. LWK 3 r = 0,61; BWK 10 vs. LWK 3 r = 0,68). Die laterale Ex-situ – DXA-Messung erbrachte signifikant höhere Korrelationen (p < 0,05) mit den Versagenslasten der lumbalen Wirbelsäule als die In-situ – DXA-Messung in AP-Projektion (r = 0,85 vs. 0,71). Die Korrelationen der thorakalen Versagenslasten mit der lateralen Ex-situ – DXA-Messung und der In-situ – DXA-Messung in AP-Projektion waren jedoch gleich (r = 0,69 vs. 0,67 für BWK 10 und r = 0,61 vs. 0,65 für BWK 6). Diese Ergebnisse demonstrieren eine substantielle Heterogenität der mechanischen Kompetenz innerhalb der Wirbelsäule älterer Individuen. Das mechanische Versagen der Lendenwirbelsäule kann am besten aus der lateralen DXA-Messung an explantierten Knochen vorhergesagt werden, somit scheint die lumbale In-situ – AP-Messung einer nicht unbedeutenden Beeinflussung durch die posterioren Element zu unterliegen, die die Vorhersagekraft der Messung reduzieren. Für die Vorhersage der Versagenslasten in der thorakalen Wirbelsäule und den thorakolumbalen Übergangsbereich ist die klinische In-situ – Messung der Lendenwirbelsäule in anterior-posteriorer Projektion der Ex-situ – Messung in beiden Projektionen jedoch nicht unterlegen. Somit scheint die lumbale In-situ – DXA in anterior-posteriorer Projektion ein mechanisch bedingtes Frakturrisiko für die thorakale und lumbale Wirbelsäule in gleicher Weise vorhersagen zu können. Die Artefaktbeeinflussung der lumbalen In-situ – AP-Messung scheint für die Vorhersage eines Frakturrisikos in der thorakalen Wirbelsäule eine eher untergeordnete Rolle zu spielen. Die klinische DXA-Messung der Lendenwirbelsäule in anterior-posteriorer Projektion kann daher als nicht-invasive Methode Aussagen über ein mögliches Frakturrisiko treffen und dazu beitragen Risikopatienten zu diagnostizieren und einer adäquaten, antiresorptiven Therapie zu unterziehen.

Ältere Menschen weisen eine hohe Inzidenz an osteoporotischen Wirbelkörperfrakturen auf. Diese betreffen überwiegend Frauen und finden sich vor allem im thorakolumbalen Bereich der Wirbelsäule. Sie führen zu einer stark herabgesetzten Lebensqualität der Patienten und zu enormen Kosten für das Gesundheitssystem. Das Frakturrisiko wird dabei unter anderem von der mechanischen Kompetenz des Wirbelkörpers bestimmt. Bislang ist jedoch unklar, welchen Beitrag verschiedene anatomische Strukturen der Wirbelkörper (trabekulärer Kern, (sub)kortikale Randzone, Endplatten) zur mechanischen Festigkeit leisten und welche Unterschiede dabei zwischen Frauen und Männern bestehen. Ziel der Studie war es die Heterogenität der mechanischen Festigkeit und der Knochendichte innerhalb der Wirbelsäule zu analysieren, den Beitrag des kortikalen bzw. trabekulären Kompartiments zur mechanischen Festigkeit zu bestimmen und dabei geschlechtsspezifische Differenzen der Versagenslasten, Versagensspannungen und Dichtemessungen zu ermitteln. Es wurden insgesamt 39 Wirbelsäulen (23 Frauen und 16 Männer im Alter von 79 ± 11 J.) von BWK 3 bis LWK 5 untersucht. Nach Kompartimenten getrennte Messungen der Dichte wurden auf 25, 50 und 75 % der Wirbelkörperhöhe mittels der pQCT durchgeführt. Anschließend erfolgte die Zerlegung jeder Wirbelsäule in 5 Einheiten zu je 3 Wirbeln, welche wiederum jeweils in vier Proben (planparallele Scheibe, funktionelles 3er-Segment, trabkulärer Kern und (sub)kortikaler Ring) unterteilt wurden. In axialer Kompression wurden an diesen Proben insgesamt 780 mechanische Tests durchgeführt. Es zeigten sich weder in Bezug auf das Versagen noch auf die Knochendichte signifikante Unterschiede zwischen Frauen und Männern. Die (sub)kortikalen Ringe wiesen in allen Regionen deutlich höhere Versagensspannungen auf als die trabekulären Kerne. Die Versagensspannungen der Ringe waren höher mit denjenigen der 3er-Segmente (r = 0,78) und der planparallelen Scheiben (r = 0,69) korreliert als die Versagensspannungen der Kerne (r = 0,62 und 0,57). Die Korrelationen der Versagensspannungen zwischen Wirbeln unterschiedlicher Regionen waren nur sehr moderat (r = 0,63 bis 0,71). Auch die Dichtewerte korrelierten zwischen den Wirbeln nur gering (Durchschnitt r = 0,76). Beide Parameter zeigten eine Abnahme der Korrelation mit zunehmender Distanz der Wirbelkörper voneinander. Die Messung der Gesamtdichte ermöglichte eine bessere Vorhersage der Versagensspannungen (r = 0,63) als die Messung der trabekulären oder (sub)kortikalen Dichte (r = 0,50 bzw. 0,35). Wir schließen aus den Befunden, dass sich die unterschiedlichen Frakturinzidenzen zwischen Frauen und Männern bei älteren Menschen nicht auf verschiedene Versagenslasten, -spannungen oder Knochendichtewerte zurückführen lassen. Außerdem ist nach unseren Ergebnissen davon auszugehen, dass sowohl das mechanische Versagen als auch die Dichte eine hohes Maß an Heterogenität innerhalb der Wirbelsäule aufweisen. Dies bedeutet, dass hohe Werte in einer Region nicht notwendigerweise mit hohen Werten in anderen Regionen assoziiert sind. Des Weiteren scheint die äußere (sub)kortikale Randzone bei älteren Menschen einen größeren Beitrag für die Aufrechterhaltung der mechanischen Integrität der Wirbelkörper zu leisten als der trabekuläre Kern. Die Korrelation der Dichte mit den Versagensspannungen zeigt, dass zur Vorhersage der mechanischen Kompetenz sich klinisch die Messung der Gesamtknochendichte empfiehlt.
