Article Synopsis
- The study investigated the serum calcium and vitamin D levels in elderly patients with intertrochanteric (IT) fractures, focusing on their relationship to the severity of stable versus unstable fractures.
- Out of 286 patients analyzed, those with unstable IT fractures showed significantly lower vitamin D levels compared to those with stable fractures, while the difference in calcium levels was not significant.
- The findings suggest that higher vitamin D levels might help prevent severe IT fractures, indicating the potential benefit of vitamin D supplementation in this patient population.
Caesarean section and respiratory system disorders in newborns.

September 2024
Cesarean section (C-section) delivery is associated with a higher risk of respiratory problems in newborns, particularly if performed electively at 37 weeks. This risk is greater than with spontaneous or induced labor but diminishes as gestation advances. To lower the incidence of respiratory issues in newborns, it is vital to promote natural labor, avoid unnecessary C-sections, and offer thorough prenatal care.

Methods: All pertinent articles published prior to February 1, 2024, in PubMed, Web of Science, EMBASE, CNKI, and Scopus databases were reviewed.
Results: Nineteen case-control studies involving 1149 BPD cases and 1845 non-BPD controls, were analyzed.
Background: Congenital talipes equinovarus (CTEV) is a prevalent pediatric deformity with a multifactorial etiology. The objective of this meta-analysis was to explore the association between genetic variations in COL9A1 and the susceptibility to CTEV.
Methods: A comprehensive analysis of pertinent literature released before November 15, 2023, in electronic bibliographic databases was carried out.
Correlation of growth differentiation factor-5 + 104T>C polymorphism with the risk of knee, hand, and hip osteoarthritis: a case-control study and meta-analysis based on 47 case-control studies.

Osteoarthritis (OA) arises from a intricate interplay of genetic and environmental factors. Numerous studies have explored the link between the growth differentiation factor 5 (GDF-5) +104T>C polymorphism and OA risk, but the findings have been inconclusive. We carried out a case-control study with 704 OA cases and 418 healthy controls.

The role of the tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α) polymorphism in the susceptibility to cervical cancer has been a subject of interest. However, the current evidence regarding this association remains inconclusive.
