Proximal femoral fracture: achievements and prospects.
Patients with proximal femoral fracture occupy 20% of all orthopaedic beds at any one time [1]. In postmenopausal women, proximal femoral fracture accounts for more bed days annually than breast cancer, acute myocardial infarction, diabetes mellitus or chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. Most people with a proximal femoral fracture are old: 90% are older than 65 and 75% are older than 75. Mo...
متن کاملAnticoagulation therapy and proximal femoral fracture treatment

متن کامل[Proximal focal femoral deficiency complicated by a proximal femur fracture].
Proximal focal femoral deficiency (PFFD) is a rare skeletal condition characterized by development failure of the subtrochanteric region of the femoral axis, with several degrees of shortening of the proximal region. There are no case reports of patients with this condition associated with a subtrochanteric fracture. We therefore describe herein the case of a newborn patient with clinical and r...

BCIS has been reported for many years and it is perhaps surprising that it took until 2009 for a full explanation and classification of BCIS to emerge. Olsen and colleagues...
متن کاملGrid Computing Achievements and Prospects
gCube Information Retrieval Engine differentiates from federated search. Data and services are scattered over the infrastructure instead of being contained in confined sub-sections, made accessible via narrow interfaces. Grid, where gCube runs, is not meant for interactive work, but offers a vast pool of resources for processing large amounts of information. In such domain it comes as natural c...
