Associations of long-term Tai Chi practice with vascular health in middle-aged and older adults: potential indirect roles of inflammation and oxidative stress - a cross-sectional study

Tai Chi is a widely practiced mind-body exercise, but its associations with vascular health and the potential involvement of inflammation and oxidative stress remain unclear. We hypothesized that, compared with irregular exercise, long-term Tai Chi practice would be associated wi...

Biomechanical advantages of the proximal femoral bionic nail with triangular support structure in the treatment of intertrochanteric fractures: a coronal fracture heatmap modeling and finite element comparison of three implant designs

Coronal fracture fragments (CFs) are highly prevalent in intertrochanteric fractures and represent a significant risk factor for internal fixation failure. This study combined anatomical and engineering approaches to construct the first coronal fracture heatmap model and evaluate...

Association between the preoperative geriatric nutritional risk index and loss of walking independence 180 days after hip fracture surgery: A retrospective cohort study

Abstract Background Malnutrition may impair recovery after hip fracture, but the association between preoperative geriatric nutritional risk index (GNRI) and postoperative walking outcomes remains unclear. We examined the association between GNRI and loss of walking independence...
