0 | Modifiable and non-modifiable risk factors affecting walking recovery after hip fracture | Hip Fx in the Elderly 2019 | Summary: Modifiable and non-modifiable predictors of mobility recovery were analyzed on a sample of 774 hip fracture patients according to pre-fracture abilities. Overall predictors were mostly non-modifiable factors related to frailty of patients with the exception of 25-hydroxyvitamin D concentration which significan... |
1 | Cementless surface replacement hemiarthroplasty for primary glenohumeral osteoarthritis: results of over 5-year follow-up in patients with or without rotator cuff deficiency | Glenohumeral Joint OA | BACKGROUND: Cementless surface replacement hemiarthroplasty (CSRHA) is an established treatment for glenohumeral osteoarthritis; however, studies evaluating its role in arthritis with rotator cuff deficiency are limited. This study reviews the outcomes of CSRHA for glenohumeral osteoarthritis with and without rotator c... |
0 | Microbiological analysis of isolates in Kathmandu Medical College Teaching Hospital, Kathmandu, Nepal | Patrick’s pharmacoepidemiology project | BACKGROUND: Urinary tract infections (UTIs) are the common cause of bacterial infection. Recently UTI become more complicated and difficult to treat because of appearance of pathogen with increasing resistance to antimicrobial agents. OBJECTIVE: To determine the etiology of the urinary tract infections and their suscep... |
0 | Explanatory Model of Resilience in Pediatric Burn Survivors | DoD PRF (Psychosocial RF) | Identifying factors of adjustment in pediatric burn patients may facilitate appropriate mental health interventions postinjury. The aim of this is study was to explore the roles of both the patient's and caregivers' resilience and posttraumatic stress in pediatric burn survivor adjustment. For the purposes of the study... |
1 | Does age matter? A mixed methods study examining determinants of good recovery and resilience in young and middle-aged adults following moderate-to-severe traumatic brain injury | DoD PRF (Psychosocial RF) | AIM: To examine whether age contributes to functional recovery and resilience after moderate-to-severe traumatic brain injury. BACKGROUND: The ability to recover may change across the lifespan, but the influence of age on brain injury outcome is understudied. DESIGN: Mixed methods study. METHODS: All adults of working ... |
0 | The chemistry of bisphosphonates: From antiscaling agents to clinical therapeutics | MSTS 2018 - Femur Mets and MM | In the early 1960s, inorganic pyrophosphate (PPi) was found to be present in body fluids and to act as a natural inhibitor of calcification by its interaction with hydroxyapatite. In addition to inhibiting the formation of calcium phosphate, PPi also inhibited dissolution of hydroxyapatite crystals, which made it inter... |
1 | Controlled release formulation of oxycodone in patients with moderate to severe chronic osteoarthritis: A critical review of the literature | OAK 3 - Non-arthroplasty tx of OAK | Osteoarthritis (OA) is a physically and emotionally debilitating disease that predominantly affects the aging adult population. Current pharmacologic treatment options primarily consist of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs and/or acetaminophen, but associated side effects, analgesic limitations, especially in the el... |
0 | Whole bone geometry and bone quality in distal forearm fracture | Distal Radius Fractures | Fracture of the distal radius is a sentinel for future increased risk of other "osteoporotic" fractures, in which the peak age for incidence of distal radius fracture is 5 to 10 years before that for spine and hip fractures. Mean bone mineral density (BMD) of the distal radius was lower in patients with osteoporosis co... |
