Blood pressure support linked to deaths after hip fracture surgery

Among 243 older intensive care patients, 30-day mortality was 28.6% with drugs to raise blood pressure versus 4.6% without them.Among 243 older intensive care patients, 30-day mortality was 28.6% with drugs to raise blood pressure versus 4.6% without them.

Starting bone medication linked to fewer repeat hip fractures

The five-year risk of another hip fracture was 8.9% among adults starting bone-health medication within six months, versus 17.2% among those without it.The five-year risk of another hip fracture was 8.9% among adults starting bone-health medication within six months, versus 17.2% among those without it.

Osteoporosis affected 32.4% of men versus 51.4% of women, while spinal fractures affected 22.7% versus 22.8%, respectively.Osteoporosis affected 32.4% of men versus 51.4% of women, while spinal fractures affected 22.7% versus 22.8%, respectively.

Metabolic index linked primarily to lower breathing impairment

Compared with the low, steady index group, moderately rising and high, steady groups had lower lung-problem odds: odds ratios of 0.80 and 0.75, respectively.Compared with the low, steady index group, moderately rising and high, steady groups had lower lung-problem odds: odds ratios of 0.80 and 0.75, respectively.

Older tissue may contribute to declining toughness in human bone

An observational study of human bone samples linked tissue properties to local tissue age, while older tissue occupied more bone as donor age increased.An observational study of human bone samples linked tissue properties to local tissue age, while older tissue occupied more bone as donor age increased.
