Ankle injury due to supination trauma: Potential factors worsening patient outcome.

Purpose: Supination trauma is a common sports injury, and often leads to chronic ankle instability. This study analyses whether indications of healing can be detected 2 weeks after supination trauma.

Methods: This prospective, monocentric study at a German Medical Center examined patients with acute supination trauma.

Proximal femoral fractures in patients with COVID-19 : Pneumonia and admission from a nursing home are the strongest predictors of mortality.

Background: Proximal femoral fractures are severe injuries in geriatric patients. Additionally, geriatric patients are at a high risk of death due to coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19).

Objective: To identify predictors of mortality in geriatric patients with COVID-19 and concurrent proximal femoral fractures.

Tracking the Metabolic Fate of Exogenous Arachidonic Acid in Ferroptosis Using Dual-Isotope Labeling Lipidomics.

Lipid metabolism is implicated in a variety of diseases, including cancer, cell death, and inflammation, but lipidomics has proven to be challenging due to the vast structural diversity over a narrow range of mass and polarity of lipids. Isotope labeling is often used in metabolomics studies to follow the metabolism of exogenously added labeled compounds because they can be differentiated from endogenous compounds by the mass shift associated with the label. The application of isotope labeling to lipidomics has also been explored as a method to track the metabolism of lipids in various disease states.

The development, incidence and treatment trends of trochanteric fractures in Germany: a cohort study.

Background: Hip fractures are a major public health problem worldwide and can lead to disability, increased mortality, and reduced quality of life. We aim to provide a nationwide epidemiological analysis of trochanteric and subtrochanteric fractures and their respective surgical treatments.

Methods: Data were retrieved from the national database of the German Department of the Interior.

Factors affecting duration of inability to work after intramedullary stabilization of displaced midshaft clavicular fractures.

Background: Duration of inability to work (DIW) after displaced midshaft clavicular fractures (DMCF) is an important clinical and socioeconomic treatment outcome. However, evidence on DIW after DMCF intramedullary stabilization (IMS) is still limited. We aimed to examine DIW and identify medical and socioeconomic predictors with direct or indirect impact on DIW after IMS of DMCF.
