Orthogeriatrics in Hip Fracture [PDF]

The Open Orthopaedics Journal, 2017
Orthogeriatrics is a system of care for complex elderly patients who have suffered fragility fractures. This has resulted in demonstrable improvements in care for patients with hip fracture. The article includes a review of the early history of orthogeriatrics as well as current concepts in orthogeriatric care including the use of national databases ...

Recommendations on hip fractures [PDF]

European Journal of Trauma and Emergency Surgery, 2016
Hip fractures among the elderly are one of the major fragility fractures in terms of quality of life, health outcomes and medical costs [1]. Since mortality and morbidity are high, hip fractures have a direct impact on public health [2] and are one of the main reasons for disability [3]. Increases in age-adjusted incidence of falls with accompanying

Association of calf circumference with osteoporosis and hip fracture in middle-aged and older adults: a secondary analysis

BMC Musculoskeletal Disorders
Background Osteosarcopenia is a geriatric syndrome associated with an increased risk of frailty, falls, fractures, disability, and death. Calf circumference (CC) has been used as a simple and practical skeletal muscle marker to diagnose sarcopenia.

Incidence of hip Fractures [PDF]

Acta Orthopaedica Scandinavica, 1980
The incidence of hip fractures in the period 1971-1976 was calculated. The overall incidence was about 3 per thousand above the age of 50 years and about 20 per thousand above the age of 80 years. Hip fractures were twice as prevalent in females as in males and the incidence was found to double for each 5-year increment in age.

Inhibition of IGFBP4 in Granulosa Cells Improves Reproductive Performance and Maintains Fertility With Age via YAP Signaling

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
IGFBP4 is upregulated in granulosa cells of aged ovaries across monkeys, mice, and humans. It inhibits YAP signaling, thereby suppressing cell proliferation and contributing to follicular dysfunction. Deletion of Igfbp4 in granulosa cells enhances ovulatory output, improves hormone profiles, and reproductive performance in aged female mice, suggesting ...

Longitudinal Single‐Axon‐Resolution Imaging of Peripheral Nerve Injury Response in Mice Using an Optical Window Implant

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
A minimally invasive optical window enables stable, long‐term imaging of peripheral nerves in vivo at single‐axon resolution. Dynamic processes of degeneration, regeneration, and cellular remodeling are visualized across multiple time scales within the same nerve region, providing a unique platform to study a variety of anatomical and molecular events ...
