Abstract

There is a high mortality with not well understood risk factors after the second hip fracture. Analysis of the 30- and 365-day mortality and its risk factors in patients with contralateral hip fracture. Patients with contralateral hip fracture between 01 Jan 2000 and 31 Dec 2008 were identified among those who suffered their primary hip fracture in Hungary in 2000. Risk factors as age, sex, concomitant and chronic diseases, type of fracture and surgery, surgical complications, day of admission were analyzed by logistic and Cox regression as well as Kaplan-Meier analysis. There were 312 eligible patients identified with 8.3 % mortality rate at 30 and with 38,4% at 365 days respectively. Significant risk factors for the 30 day mortality were intertrochanteric type of fracture (OR: 4.722; HR: 4.129) and non operative management (OR: 7.357; HR: 6.317) while for the 365 day mortality those were older age (OR:1.070; HR:1.050) and type of surgery (OR: 0.450). Age, type of fracture and type of surgery proved to be risk factors. There is a need to identify further risk factors in order to develop an efficacious prevention strategy for the reduction of the mortality after the second hip fractures.

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.

Microbicide

Microbicides are products that can be applied to vaginal or rectal mucosal surfaces with the goal of preventing, or at least significantly reducing, the transmission of sexually transmitted infections. Here is the latest research on microbicides.
