Overactivation of the renin-angiotensin system (RAS) may contribute to poor clinical outcomes in patients with COVID-19.
The efficacy of vitamin C for hospitalized patients with COVID-19 is uncertain.
Adolescents/young-adult (AYA) cancer patients are a psychosocially at-risk group as they often less well-studied than other age cohorts. Therefore, experience disparities in access to developmentally informed treatment. Social support has been determined an important aspect of AYAs' experience, but additional research was needed describe specific behaviors AYAs found helpful and explore how seek opportunities for support. As part larger qualitative study, study aims were determine (ages...
The financial and resource burden of management olecranon fractures in the elderly is likely to increase with an aging population. There limited evidence guiding treatment choice this cohort. This study aimed determine whether operative displaced patients provides superior 12-month functional outcomes compared nonoperative treatment. A multicenter pragmatic randomized controlled trial was conducted across 24 hospitals Australia New Zealand. Patients aged ≥75 years presenting acute (within 14...
Background The emergence of generative artificial intelligence, such as ChatGPT (OpenAI, San Francisco, CA, USA), offers significant potential for improving the delivery patient information and aiding in clinical decision-making. aim this study was to investigate accuracy consistency providing answering orthopaedic questions regarding Achilles tendon ruptures. Methods Eight rupture management were presented twice, resulting 16 responses. References requested all Each response evaluated...
Intramedullary fixation is increasingly used for intertrochanteric fractures in the elderly population. The management of hardware migration and non-union remains a challenge orthopaedic surgeons, often necessitating complex revision procedures.

ABSTRACT Introduction: Favorable short- and long-term outcomes have been reported for lumbar intervertebral total disc replacement (L-TDR). However, there is little evidence regarding the uptake of L-TDR in practice. The objective this study was to analyze Australian-based population trends over past 5 years. Methods: 5-year incidence from 2019 2023 adult patients analyzed using Medicare Benefits Schedule (MBS) database. Data were stratified by sex year, with an offset term introduced data...
