Unlabelled: The objective of this work was to determine epidemio-clinical and therapeutic aspects of foot bones fractures in Orthopedic and Traumatology service of Gabriel TOURE hospital.
Patient And Methods: The study was retrospective descriptive and carried on 454 patients of January 1996 to December 2005. Have been included the patients admitted and tidy in the service during the period of survey, that had fractures isolated of the foot or associated to other fractures. Have not been included the patients with fractures of the foot that interrupted their treatment in the hospital for no conventional treatment.
Results: The masculine sex was predominant (321 men, 133 women, sex-ratio 2.41). The age groups of 21-30 years and 31-40 were the more attacks with respectively 32.38% and 20.48% (Table I). The workers were the more reached with 28.41% (Table II). On the ten years, 2001 recorded the biggest number of case of foot fracture with 12.56% (Table III). The accidents of the public way and the accidents of work were the most frequent etiology with respectively 70.48% and 20.71%. The right foot was the more frequently broken with 55.95%. The metatarsus was the more reached with 50%. Fractures closed of the foot represented 88.33%, the open fractures 11.67%. The treatment of the closed fractures was exclusively orthopedic. In the cases of open fractures the surgical dressing has been done follow-up of the orthopedic contention. The recovery has been gotten in 60.79% of the cases. The complications were of 39.21% among which the vicious calluses predominated with 34.83% (Table IV). The result of the treatment was good in 73.57% of the cases, means in 17.62% of the cases and bad in 8.81% of the cases.
Conclusion: The fractures of the foot concerned more the men and the working profession. So the most active layer of the society was the more exposed to the accidents of the public way and the work. The osteosynthesis in the complex or complicated shapes could have improved our results.

Background: The accurate inclusion of patient comorbidities ensures appropriate risk adjustment in clinical or health services research and payment models. Orthopaedic studies often use only the comorbidities included at the index inpatient admission when quantifying patient risk. The goal of this study was to assess improvements in capture rates and in model fit and discriminatory power when using additional data and best practices for comorbidity capture.

Rib fracture-related infection is a challenging complication of thoracic trauma due to the difficulty of treating it with antibiotics alone and the need for a second operation to remove the infected fixator and sterilize the surrounding infected tissue. In this study, inspired by the photocatalytic performance of and ion release from silver-based materials, including AgPO and AgS, a hybrid AgPO-AgS heterojunction was prepared based on anion exchange and a one-step calcination process to design a nonantibiotic coating aimed at preventing and treating rib fracture-related infection with short-term 808 nm near-infrared irradiation. Calcination at 250 °C enhanced the inductive effect of the phosphate radical and led to the formation of a tight nanoheterogeneous interface between AgPO and AgS, thereby promoting interfacial electron transfer and reducing the recombination of photogenerated carriers.

This study examines how exhibits at the Royal Tank Museum (RTM) engage visitors through bodily experiences. The goal is to understand RTM's visitor interaction and engagement. This research fills a gap in the literature on Jordanian museums by documenting some experiential characteristics of museum exhibits and establishing a framework for evaluating embodied museum encounters.

The Swedish quality register AmbuReg collects all the country's ambulance missions. There is an increasing demand on the Emergency Medical Services (EMS) due to decreasing hospital resources and referral to self-care, primary care and mobile teams. This, in combination with fast tracks for patients with myocardial infarction, stroke, hip fracture or sepsis, increases the requirement for optimal triage at the scene.

Nonunion is a significant complication in fracture management for surgeons. Salvianolic acid A (SAA), derived from the traditional Chinese plant Salviae miltiorrhizae Bunge (Danshen), exhibits notable anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties. Although studies have demonstrated its ability to promote osteogenic differentiation, the exact mechanism of action remains unclear.
