Abstract Background The introduction of hip fracture standards has led to improvement in outcomes for patients. Other osteoporotic fragility fractures also lead significant morbidity. They are associated with a high risk future fracture. Orthogeriatric Service at model 3 hospital was expanded proactively undertake comprehensive geriatric assessment(CGA) patients over 65 non-hip fractures(NHFF) ...

The OXA-48 carbapenemase is mainly encoded by ∼ 62-kb IncL/M plasmids. However, chromosome-mediated genes have been observed in Escherichia coli isolates. In this work, we investigated the genetic environment of OXA-48 in members of the family Enterobacteriaceae (n = 22) to understand how the OXA-48-encoding gene is transferred into the E. coli chromosome. The OXA-48-encoding gene was located w...
