Article Synopsis
- The management of osteoporotic hip fractures in patients on antiaggregant and anticoagulant therapy is complicated and requires specific recommendations.
- A working group focused on haemostasis developed a plan incorporating best practices, validated by experts from multiple specialties.
- Early surgery (within 24-48 hours) is recommended to reduce complications and improve recovery, with tailored approaches to anesthesia and antithrombotic management based on the patient’s conditions.
Background: Vitamin D, through the activation of its receptor (VDR), plays an immunomodulatory role in the gastrointestinal tract. Single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the VDR gene have been associated with Crohn's disease (CD) risk, and patients carrying the polymorphism in this gene run a higher risk of developing a penetrating behavior.
Aims: We analyzed the association of , , , and SNPs in the gene with the clinical characteristics of CD.
