Our exact natural effects estimators are found to work properly in both simulations and real data example.

Adults at high risk of fragility fracture should be offered pharmacological treatment when not contraindicated, however, under-treatment is common.

This study aimed to investigate factors associated with bone-health medication initiation in older patients attending primary care.

This was a retrospective cohort study.

The study used data from forty-four general practices in Ireland from 2011-2017.

The study included adults aged ≥ 65years who were naïve to bone-health medication for 12months.

Overall fracture-risk (based on QFracture) and individual fracture-risk factors were described for patients initiated and not initiated onto medication and compared using generalised linear model regression with the Poisson distribution.

Of 36,799 patients (51% female, mean age 75.4 (SD = 8.4)) included, 8% (n = 2,992) were observed to initiate bone-health medication during the study. One-fifth of all patients (n = 8,193) had osteoporosis or had high fracture-risk but only 21% of them (n = 1,687) initiated ontients, and further research should explore decision-making in preventive bone medication prescribing.

Long-term isotopic dilution measurements of body iron may allow quantification of basal body iron balance and iron gains during an iron intervention with higher precision and accuracy than conventional iron indices.

We compared body iron balance before, during, and after oral iron supplementation in women in Benin and in Switzerland.

In prospective studies, Beninese (n=11) and Swiss (n=10) women previously labeled with stable iron isotopes were followed preintervention for 90-120 d, then received 50-mg iron daily for 90-120 d and were followed postintervention for 90-120 d. We used changes in blood isotopic composition to calculate iron absorption (Feabs), iron loss (Feloss), and net iron balance (Fegain).

Compliance with supplementation was>90%. In Benin, during the preintervention, intervention, and postintervention periods, Fe means±SDs were as follows 1) Feabs 0.92±1.05, 3.75±2.07, and 0.90±0.93 mg/d; 2) Feloss 1.46±1.95, 1.58±1.57, and 1.84±1.61 mg/d; and 3) Fegain -0.55±1.56 mg/d, 2.17±1.81 mectively.

Without iron supplementation, Beninese women had lower long-term dietary iron absorption and higher iron losses in the preintervention period than Swiss women. During iron supplementation, both groups had high iron absorption and similar iron gains. However, there was a 3-fold increase in iron losses in the Swiss women during the supplementation and postintervention period compared with the preintervention period. Body iron isotope dilution is a promising new method for quantifying long-term body iron balance and for assessing the impact of iron interventions. The studies were registered at clinicaltrials.gov as NCT02979080 and NCT02979132, respectively.Humans sense taste and smell of various chemical substances through approximately 430 chemosensory receptors. The overall picture of ligand-chemosensory receptor interactions has been partially clarified because of numerous interactions. This study presents a new method that enables a rapid and simple screening of chemosensory receptors. It would be useful for identifying chemosensory receptors activated by taste and odor substances.

Although many interventions are implemented to prevent surgical site infections (SSIs) in plastic surgery, their supporting evidence is inconsistent.

The goal of this study was to assess the efficacy of methods for decreasing SSIs in plastic surgery.

A systematic review and meta-analysis were performed to compare the effects of SSI prevention methods. All the studies were assessed for quality of evidence according to the GRADE assessment.

Fifty Level 1 randomized controlled trials were included. The most common interventions for preventing SSIs were antibiotic prophylaxis, showering, prepping, draping, and the use of dressings. Current evidence suggests that antibiotic prophylaxis is largely unnecessary and overused in many plastic surgical procedures, with the exception of head and neck oncologic, oral craniofacial, and traumatic hand surgeries.

Efficacy of antibiotic prophylaxis in plastic surgery is dependent on surgery type. There is a lack evidence that showering and prepping with chlorohexidine and povidone reduces SSIs.

With the increased use of acellular dermal matrix (ADM) in breast reconstruction, the number of available materials has increased. There is relative paucity of high-quality outcomes data for use of different ADMs.

The goal of this study is to compare the outcomes between a human (HADM) and a bovine ADM (BADM) in implant-based breast reconstruction.

We conducted a prospective, single-blinded, randomized controlled trial to evaluate differences in outcomes between HADM and BADM for patients undergoing immediate tissue expander breast reconstruction. We excluded patients with prior radiation to the index breast. Patient and surgical characteristics were collected and analyzed.

From April 2011 to June 2016, a total of 90 patients were randomized to a mesh group, with 68 patients [HADM, 36 patients (55 breasts); BADM, 32 patients (48 breasts)] included in the final analysis. Baseline characteristics were similar between the two groups. No significant differences in overall complication rates were identified between HADM (n=14, 25%) and BADM (n= 13, 27%); p=0.85. Akt phosphorylation Similar trends were identified for major complications and complications requiring reoperation. Tissue expander loss was identified in 7% of HADM (n=4), and 17% of BADM group (n=8), p=0.14.

We demonstrated similar complication and implant loss rates among patients undergoing immediate tissue expander breast reconstruction using HADM or BADM. Regardless of what material is used, careful patient selection and counseling, and cost consideration help to improve outcomes and sustainability in immediate breast reconstruction.
