Objectives: Treatment of subtrochanteric fractures of the proximal femur may be challenging due to their anatomical and biomechanical features. Intramedullary nails are the most frequently used devices, although there is no consensus concerning their optimal length. The aim of this study is to compare the functional and radiological outcomes of the fragility subtrochanteric fractures treated with short versus long cephalomedullary nails.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFHome hemodialysis (HHD) with low-flow dialysate devices has gained popularity in recent years due to its simple design, portability, and ability to provide greater freedom of movement for our patients. However, there are doubts about the adequacy that this technology offers, since it uses monitors with low-flow bath and lactate. The aim of this study was to demonstrate the clinical benefits of low-flow HHD with the NxStage System One® recently introduced in Spain.

- The study aims to assess how surgical quality impacts mortality, complications, and the ability to walk in patients over 64 with hip fractures.
- Conducted on 1,425 patients aged 65 to 108, the research analyzed various surgical methods and followed patients' recovery via clinical and radiographic evaluations.
- Results indicated that poor surgical reduction significantly increased the risk of mortality and complications like non-unions and screw breakages.
Background: Essential tremor (ET), one of the most common neurological disorders is typically evaluated with validated rating scales which only provide a subjective assessment during a clinical visit, underestimating the fluctuations tremor during different daily activities. Motion sensors have shown favorable performances in both quantifying tremor and voluntary human activity recognition (HAR).
Objective: To create an automated system of a reference scale using motion sensors supported by deep learning algorithms to accurately rate ET severity during voluntary activities, and to propose an IOTA based blockchain application to share anonymously tremor data.
