Aims: The Peri-Implant and PeriProsthetic Survival AnalysiS (PIPPAS) study aimed to investigate the risk factors for one-year mortality of femoral peri-implant fractures (FPIFs).
Methods: This prospective, multicentre, observational study involved 440 FPIF patients with a minimum one-year follow-up. Data on demographics, clinical features, fracture characteristics, management, and mortality rates were collected and analyzed using both univariate and multivariate analyses.
Tetanus is a disease of the nervous system caused by a toxin produced by , an anaerobe found in high concentrations in the soil. The occurrence of tetanus is related to contaminated traumatic wounds, and most patients have had some failure in their immunization. However, there are rare case reports of generalized tetanus in patients with proper vaccination schemes who failed to receive appropriate prophylaxis after high-risk exposure.

Background: Metabolic bone disease (MBD) of newborns (NB) is characterized by tissue reduction and inadequate postnatal bone mineralization with clinical, laboratory, and/or radiologic repercussions between the third and twelfth weeks of postnatal life, which, in its most severe forms, can lead to a growth deficit and fractures. The aim of our study is to evaluate the incidence of MBD in premature patients receiving parenteral nutrition for >15 days in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) and assess their clinical and laboratory characteristics.
Methods: Single-center retrospective cohort study.
Hydroxamic acids (HAs) are chemical compounds characterized by the general structure RCONR'OH, where R and R' can denote hydrogen, aryl, or alkyl groups. Recognized for their exceptional chelating capabilities, HAs can form mono or bidentate complexes through oxygen and nitrogen atoms, rendering them remarkably versatile. These distinctive structural attributes have paved the way for a broad spectrum of medicinal applications for HAs, among which their pivotal role as inhibitors of essential Ni(II) and Zn(II)-containing metalloenzymes.
