Abstract

A method to protect the hips during falls could effectively reduce the incidence of hip fractures. We report the results of the first hip protector trial in Japan, performed between July 1996, and September 1999. One hundred and sixty-four elderly female residents of nursing homes, with Activities of Daily Living above the wheelchair level, agreed to participate in this study. Among them, 88 were randomly selected to wear a hip protector and 76 controls did not. All falls and resulting injuries were recorded daily. In anthropometric measurements and ultrasonic bone evaluation, no significant differences were found between the two groups, except in height. During an average of 377 days, the wearers and the non-wearers fell a total of 131 and 90 times, respectively. Among the wearers, there were two non-hip fractures and one hip fracture, so the annual hip fracture rate was calculated at 1.2%, against 8 hip fractures among the non-wearers, or 9.7% per year. The hip fracture rate was significantly lower among the wearers than non-wearers, while the annual number of falls per subject and the distribution of fallers remained the same. According to Cox's proportional hazard regression analysis, the effect of the hip protector on hip ...Continue Reading

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.
