Osteoarthritis
Osteoarthritis is a leading cause of disability and source of societal cost in older adults. With an ageing and increasingly obese population, this syndrome is becoming even more prevalent than in previous decades. In recent years, we have gained important insights into the cause and pathogenesis of pain in osteoarthritis. The diagnosis of osteoarthritis is clinically based despite the widespread overuse of imaging methods. Management should be tailored to the presenting individual and focus on core treatments, including self-management and education, exercise, and weight loss as relevant. Surgery should be reserved for those that have not responded appropriately to less invasive methods. Prevention and disease modification are areas being targeted by various research endeavours, which have indicated great potential thus far. This narrative Seminar provides an update on the pathogenesis, diagnosis, management, and future research on osteoarthritis for a clinical audience.

Creating Japan's Ground Self-Defense Force : a sword well made
\"This work is the first of its kind to offer, in English, an institutional and organizational history focused on the GSDF [Ground Self-Defense Force] for the first 70 years of its existence. It takes on issues of policy and challenges the accepted history of the origin of Article 9. It is the first study to focus on the GSDF's creation of its own personal identity, and the first history to trace depictions, and the lack of depictions, of soldiers in Japan's postwar popular culture. As well, the history highlights understandings of and challenges to Japan's defense policy and defense identity in popular culture. The history of the creation of the Ground Self-Defense Force is complex, involving policymakers from two nations, a public that comes to desire a defense force that does not seem military, and most importantly, a military that wants to serve the public. The story begins with defeat, but is ultimately a story of victory; the victory of a dedicated group of soldiers and other public servants who, working through the difficulties enumerated in this study, manage to craft a professional, well-respected ground force that is committed to serving the nation of Japan and contributing to international security abroad and still seeks a consistently positive and active presence in their country's imagination\"--Page 23.

Uncertainty in the Era of Precision Medicine
Far from ushering in an age of diagnostic and prognostic certainty, precision-medicine tools will demand a greater tolerance of uncertainty and greater facility for calculating and interpreting probabilities than we have been used to as physicians and patients.
A National Research Council report on “precision medicine” explains that the term “refers to the tailoring of medical treatment to the individual characteristics of each patient.” The report goes on to say, “It should be emphasized that in ‘precision medicine’ the word ‘precision’ is being used in a colloquial sense, to mean both ‘accurate’ and ‘precise.’”

In the colloquial sense, “precision” also implies a high degree of certainty of an outcome, as in “precision-guided missile” or “at what precise time will you arrive?” So will precision medicine usher in an age of diagnostic and prognostic certainty?
In fact, the opposite . . .
