Purpose: Penetrating injuries to the perineum and associated pelvic organs have largely been reported in the military. Given the rarity of presentation and unique clinical characteristics of these injuries, we set out to address the gap in the literature in civilian settings.
Methods: A systematic review of studies addressing penetrating perineal trauma from January 2000 to April 2021 was performed.
Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to investigate how various aspects of mental, social, and physical health relate to frailty in older adults living in Singapore.
- Involving 497 residents aged 60 and older, the survey assessed frailty using the FRAIL Scale and evaluated mental and social health through established questionnaires.
- Results showed that frail individuals had higher morbidity rates, lower functional ability, and experienced greater social dysfunction and loneliness, indicating that both mental and social factors are crucial in managing frailty alongside physical health.
