Department of Emergency Medicine, The Faculty of Medicine, Recep Tayyip Erdoğan University, Rize, Turkey.
Purpose: Hip fractures in elderly individuals are associated with high mortality rates, even with advanced treatment options. Identifying factors correlated with mortality could guide potential preventive strategies. Elevated aspartate aminotransferase (AST) and alanine aminotransferase (ALT) levels, as well as the AST/ALT ratio (AAR), have been associated with mortality in various diseases, but their association with hip fracture mortality remains underexplored.

Department of Infectious Diseases, School of Medicine, Iranian Research Center for HIV/AIDS, Iranian Institute for Reduction of High Risk Behaviors, Imam Khomeini Hospital Complex, Tehran University of Medical Sciences, Tehran, Iran.
Background: Reduced Bone Mineral Density (BMD) has been linked to Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) infection and treatment. There is a lack of information regarding the osteoporosis status of middle-aged patients with HIV in Iran, despite the fact that Antiretroviral Therapy (ART) is widely accessible.
Objective: The purpose of this cross-sectional study was to assess the BMD status and low BMD risk factors in patients with HIV under ART living in Iran.
Biomechanical Analysis and Solution Suggestions of Screw Replacement Scenarios in Femoral Neck Fracture Surgeries: Finite Element Method.
Orthop Surg
January 2025
Department of Orthopaedic and Traumatology, Trabzon Kanuni Training and Research Hospital, Trabzon, Turkey.
Objective: Despite several surgical options, there has yet to be a consensus on the best treatment for femoral neck fracture (FNF) due to higher complication rates compared to other bone fractures. This study aims to examine the possible consequences and solution suggestions of changing screws during surgery for various reasons in FNF surgical treatment from a biomechanical perspective.
Method: FNF and treatment materials were analyzed biomechanically using a package program based on the finite element method (FEM).
Hip Fracture Intervention Study for Prevention of Hypotension Trial: a Pilot Randomized Controlled Trial.
A A Pract
January 2025
Anaesthesia and Critical Care Section, Academic Unit of Injury, Inflammation and Repair, University of Nottingham, Nottingham, UK.
Background: Hypotension during anesthesia for surgery for hip fracture is common and associated with myocardial injury, stroke, acute kidney injury, and delirium. We hypothesized that maintaining intraoperative blood pressure close to patients' preoperative values would reduce these complications compared to usual care.
Methods: A pilot feasibility patient- and assessor-blinded parallel group randomized controlled trial.
