Abstract

To investigate the prevalence of frailty in patients with symptomatic lumbar spinal stenosis (LSS) and a propensity score-matched control group, and to analyze the association between symptomatic LSS and frailty. This study included 2 groups: 1 consisting of patients with symptomatic LSS (LSS group) and the other including healthy elderly subjects without degenerative spinal disease (control group). Baseline sociodemographic data, variables regarding frailty assessment, and clinical outcomes were collected. The frailty was assessed with Fried criteria. Between the LSS and control groups, the prevalence of frailty was compared. Among all participants, risk factors for frailty were identified using multivariate logistic regression. Totally, 843 subjects participated (142 in LSS group and 701 in control group) in this study. After the propensity score matching (142 in each group), the LSS group had significantly higher prevalence of frail than the control group (P < 0.001): 59 (41.5%) participants in the LSS group were frail, whereas 10 (7.0%) participants in the control group were frail. Within LSS group analysis showed that participants with frailty had significantly higher disability and lower quality of life compared to those ...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.
