Department of Orthopaedics, Shri Dharmasthala Manjunatheshwara (SDM) College of Medical Sciences and Hospital, Dharwad, IND.
Article Synopsis
- Hip fractures are common in the elderly following low-energy falls, and factors like comorbidities and overall health impact postoperative mortality.
- The study focused on 100 patients over 60 with hip fractures, using the modified frailty index (MFI) to assess their physiological reserve before surgery.
- Results showed a significant correlation between higher MFI scores and increased one-year mortality, indicating that MFI can effectively predict complications and mortality in elderly patients post-surgery.

Nitte University Center for Science Education and Research, Nitte University, Mangalore, India.
Objective: Current studies on the association between bacteria and chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) have relied solely on microbiological culture, which can sometimes be negative due to prior antibiotic therapy or lack of transport media. The objective of the study was to understand whether bacteria are associated with culture-negative cases.
Methods: We investigated 20 cases of CRS undergoing functional endoscopic sinus surgery by both culture and 16S rRNA gene polymerase chain reaction (PCR) followed by sequencing.
