[Incidence of osteoporotic fractures in southern Israel]. | LitMetric

Background: Very little is known about the epidemiology of osteoporotic fractures in Israel.

Aim: We aimed to provide an estimate on the incidence of low-impact fractures in southern Israel.

Methods: The study included women and men 50 years and older with radiographic evidence of a new fracture. We screened and reviewed all the emergency room and hospital charts to identify all patients with low impact fractures who attended the Soroka Hospital during the corresponding months of January and February of 1998 through 2001.

Results: There were a total of 580 fracture patients (461 women and 119 men). The estimated incidence of all low-impact fractures in the entire population aged 50 and older was 1064:100,000 (95% C.I. 981: 1153) per year. The estimated incidence of low-impact fractures in women was three fold higher than in men [1526:100,000 (95% C.I. 1390: 1675) vs. 490/100,000 (95% C.I. 408: 580) per year, respectively]. Fractures of the distal forearm and proximal hip (26% each) were, by far, the most common in women, followed by fractures of the humerus (18%), ankle (12%) and pelvis (5%). In men, proximal hip fractures (39%) were the most common, followed by fractures of the humerus (18%), distal forearm (15%) and ankle (14%). Multiple concurrent fractures occurred in 2.5% of the patients.

Conclusions: Our data provides a preliminary estimate of the incidence of osteoporotic fractures, not including most vertebral collapse fractures, among women and men in southern Israel. Further studies are warranted to characterize fracture risk in other regions of the country and population sub-groups.

Long-term mortality impact of postoperative hyperactive delirium in older hip fracture surgery patients.

BMC Geriatr

March 2025

Department of Anesthesiology and Perioperative Medicine, Henan Provincial People's Hospital, People's Hospital of Zhengzhou University, No.7. Weiwu Road, Zhengzhou, Henan, China.

Background: Postoperative hyperactive delirium is a common and serious complication in older patients undergoing surgery, but the association between delirium and mortality remains controversial. Compared to other delirium subtypes, hyperactive delirium is characterized by more overt clinical manifestations, facilitating accurate detection and evaluation. This study aimed to clarify this association by comparing long-term mortality between patients with and without postoperative hyperactive delirium, using propensity score matching for robust analysis.

Fibre-reinforced dental composites: Influence of aspect ratio and loading percentage on material performance.

Dent Mater

March 2025

School of Mechanical and Manufacturing Engineering, UNSW, NSW 2052, Australia; ARC Centre for Automated Manufacture of Advanced Composites, UNSW, Sydney, NSW 2052, Australia; Australian Composites Manufacturing CRC (ACM CRC), UNSW, Sydney, NSW 2052, Australia.

Objective: This experimental investigation explored the optimisation of fibre loading and aspect ratio (AR) of the S-2 Glass fibres in restorative dental composites for improved mechanical and physical characteristics. This study dealt with understanding the influence of two key input parameters, hybridised S-2 Glass fibre AR and fibre wt%, as reinforcement on a dental composite. This study also explores the relationships and effects of these parameters on the performance of the composite material.
