Objective: To investigate the clinical effect of proximal femoral nail anti rotation (PFNA) and titanium plate in the treatment of Evans Jensen type V intertrochanteric fractures.
Methods: From October 2013 to March 2016, 30 patients with Evans Jensen type V intertrochanteric fractures were analyzed. According to the operation methods, they were divided into two groups:16 cases of closed reduction and PFNA internal fixation;14 cases of small incision incision reconstruction of titanium plate reconstruction of femoral moment and lateral wall PFNA internal fixation. The operation (blood loss, operation duration), postoperative rehabilitation (postoperative ambulation time, bone healing time), operation related complications (internal fixation fracture, withdrawal, spiral blade cutting out) were observed and compared between the two groups. Harris score of hip joint function was performed 12 months after operation, and the loss degree of cervical trunk angle was observed and compared.
Results: All the 30 patients were followed up for 12 to 18 months. The blood loss and operation duration of open reduction group were significantly greater than those of closed reduction group (<0.05). The postoperative ambulation time, bone healing time, operation related complications, Harris score of hip joint function and loss of cervical trunk angle in the open reduction group were better than those in the closed reduction group(<0.05).
Conclusion: Evans Jensen was treated with PFNA intramedullary fixation through reduction and fixation of femoral moment and lateral wall with reconstruction titanium plate Vtype intertrochanteric fracture can restore the support of femoral moment and lateral wall to femoral head and neck, improve the stability of fracture end and internal fixation after operation, and reduce the risk of fracture end displacement, internal fixation loosening, cutting out and even fracture after treatment with PFNA alone. To shorten the bed time of elderly patients and reduce the operation related complications, it provides a new idea and method for the treatment of Evans Jensen type V intertrochanteric fracture.

Background/objectives: Ergothioneine (EGT) is an effective antioxidant that animals cannot produce and has an important anti-inflammatory role in cell protection, which can help lower the risk of various diseases. In this study, we investigated the potential role of gut microbiota in the production of EGT, which was found to increase in the mouse liver after dietary supplementation with betaine (BET) or polydextrose (PDX).
Methods: The effects of BET and PDX on the gut microbiota and tissue EGT content were investigated using a diet-induced obese mouse model and simulated fermentation in the human colon.
Importance: Classification of persons with long COVID (LC) or post-COVID-19 condition must encompass the complexity and heterogeneity of the condition. Iterative refinement of the classification index for research is needed to incorporate newly available data as the field rapidly evolves.
Objective: To update the 2023 research index for adults with LC using additional participant data from the Researching COVID to Enhance Recovery (RECOVER-Adult) study and an expanded symptom list based on input from patient communities.

Background: We aimed to explore the relationship between serum bicarbonate (SBC) and mortality in advanced chronic kidney disease (CKD) during three distinct treatment periods: during the pre-kidney replacement therapy (KRT) period, during the transition phase surrounding the start of KRT (transition-CKD) and during KRT.
Methods: Using the European QUALity Study on treatment in advanced CKD (EQUAL) cohort, which includes patients aged ≥65 years and estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) ≤20 mL/min/1.73 m from six European countries, we explored the association between longitudinal SBC and all-cause mortality in three separate CKD populations: pre-KRT, transition-CKD and in the KRT populations, using multivariable time-dependent Cox regression models.

Background: Advancing age and chronic kidney disease (CKD) are risk factors for polypharmacy. Polypharmacy is associated with negative healthcare outcomes. Deprescribing, the systematic rationalization of potentially inappropriate medications, is a proposed way of addressing polypharmacy.

This research aimed to discern the effects of antiosteoporosis medication on postoperative functional recovery, refracture incidence, complications, and mortality in geriatric patients with intertrochanteric fractures. A retrospective study was conducted on 250 patients aged 65 years and above who underwent surgery for intertrochanteric fractures between January 2013 and December 2014. Intertrochanteric fracture is diagnosed with International Classification of Diseases 10th Revision code (S72.
