Disorders of the Skeletal Muscle01:28

Disorders of the Skeletal Muscle

941
The clinical conditions affecting the skeletal muscle tissue are broadly categorized as musculoskeletal and neuromuscular disorders.
Musculoskeletal disorders
Musculoskeletal disorders involve injuries and conditions affecting the skeletal muscles and associated connective tissues. These disorders can arise from acute biomechanical stresses or chronic overuse and can occur across different age groups. Common injuries include sprains, fractures, and muscular strains, often resulting from...

Bone Disorders01:29

Bone Disorders

3.5K
Aging and its effect on bone remodeling is the most common cause of bone disorders. In young and healthy people, bone deposition and resorption happen at an equal rate to maintain optimal bone health.
Bone deposition is also affected by the levels of sex hormones like estrogen and testosterone that promote osteoblast activity and bone matrix synthesis. When the level of these hormones decreases due to aging, it causes a reduction in bone deposition. As a result, bone resorption by osteoclasts...

Overview of Protein Metabolism01:21

Overview of Protein Metabolism

1.1K
Proteins are broken down into amino acids during digestion. Unlike fats and carbohydrates, which are stored for later use, proteins are not. Instead, amino acids are either used to produce ATP through oxidation or contribute to the creation of new proteins for the growth and repair of the body. Any surplus amino acids from the diet are converted into glucose or triglycerides rather than excreted.
Amino acids play various roles in the body once they are absorbed into cells. They are restructured...

Fractures: Bone Repair01:27

Fractures: Bone Repair

3.2K
Treatment for a fracture is based on the type of break, the bone affected, and the patient's age.
Minor fractures with no bone displacement are treated by immobilizing the fractured bone using a cast or splint. However, in the case of fractures with displaced bones, the broken bones are repositioned before immobilization to ensure successful healing without deformation and loss of function. The realignment of fractured bone ends is performed through a process called reduction. If the...

Summary
This summary is machine-generated.

Food insecurity affects 37% of orthopaedic trauma patients and is linked to a higher risk of superficial infections. Addressing food insecurity is crucial for improving surgical outcomes and reducing health disparities in orthopaedic care.

Area of Science:

  • Orthopaedic Surgery
  • Health Services Research
  • Public Health

Background:

  • Health disparities significantly impact orthopaedic patient outcomes.
  • Socioeconomic factors and nutrition are linked to increased surgical complication risks.
  • Limited data exist on food insecurity's association with medical and surgical complications.

Purpose of the Study:

  • Determine the prevalence of food insecurity in an orthopaedic trauma clinic.
  • Identify demographic and clinical factors associated with food insecurity.
  • Assess the risk of complications and reoperations in food-insecure versus food-secure patients.

Main Methods:

  • Cross-sectional study utilizing food insecurity screening surveys.
  • Included 100 patients undergoing surgical fracture treatment at a Level 1 trauma center.
  • Propensity score matching was used for adjusted analysis of outcomes.

Main Results:

  • 37% of patients screened positive for food insecurity.
  • Food-insecure patients had higher BMIs and were more likely to lack insurance or have Medicaid.
  • Food insecurity was associated with an increased risk of superficial infections (13% vs. 0%).

Conclusions:

  • Food insecurity is prevalent in orthopaedic trauma patients.
  • Food insecurity may increase the risk of superficial surgical infections.
  • Further research and interventions are needed to address these health disparities.
