The benefits of vitamin D, omega-3 fatty acids, and exercise in disease prevention remain unclear.To test whether omega-3s, a strength-training program, alone or combination, improved 6 health outcomes among older adults.Double-blind, placebo-controlled, 2 × factorial randomized clinical trial 2157 adults aged 70 years who had no major events the 5 prior to enrollment sufficient mobility good cognitive status. Patients were recruited between December 2012 November 2014, final follow-up was...
Infection is one of the main reasons for failure orthopedic implants. Antibacterial coatings may prevent bacterial adhesion and biofilm formation, according to various preclinical studies. The aim present study report first clinical trial on an antibiotic-loaded fast-resorbable hydrogel coating (Defensive Coating, DAC®) surgical site infection, in patients undergoing internal osteosynthesis closed fractures. In this multicenter randomized controlled prospective study, a total 256 five...
There is biomechanical evidence that bone density predicts the mechanical failure of implants. The aim this prospective study was to evaluate influence local mineral on rate after locking plate fixation proximal humeral fractures.We enrolled 150 patients who were from fifty ninety years old with a closed, displaced fracture fixed use July 2007 April 2010. 118 women and thirty-two men had mean age sixty-nine years. Preoperative computed tomography (CT) scans done assess contralateral humerus,...
Fragility fractures are a major health care problem worldwide. Both hip and non-hip associated with excess mortality in the years following fracture. Residents of long-term nursing homes represent special high-risk group for poor outcomes. Orthogeriatric co-management models have shown multiple studies to medical as well economic advantages, but their impact on this has not been studied. We studied outcome residents admitted geriatric fracture center. The study design is single center,...
A widespread shift to non-operative management (NOM) for blunt hepatic and splenic injuries has been observed in most centers worldwide. Furthermore, many countries introduced safety measures systematically reduce severe traffic leisure sports injuries. This study aims evaluate the effect of these nationwide implementations on individual patient characteristics outcomes through a time-trend analysis over 17 years an Austrian high-volume trauma center.A retrospective review all emergency...
