Hip fracture patients have worse outcomes compared to hip replacement patients

Many surgeons and physicians have assumed that patients undergoing surgery for a hip fracture have a higher risk of death and major complications compared to patients undergoing an elective total hip replacement because patients having surgery for a hip fracture are older and have more chronic diseases than patients having an elective hip surgery.

New Penn Medicine research shows vital role of Esrp1 and Esrp2 genes in skin, organ development

Knocking out one or both crucial regulatory genes caused cleft lip, skin barrier defects, and a host of other developmental problems in mice, according to new research from the Perelman School of Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania, hinting that abnormalities in these molecular pathways could underlie many birth defects that are presently not well understood. The two closely related regulatory genes are active in the normal development of mammals and govern how RNAs produced from the genes are joined to make final versions of the encoded protein, a process called alternative splicing.
