Background: This study investigates the survival outcomes of individuals with HIV receiving different treatment regimens compared to a control group. Utilizing a cohort dataset with demographic and clinical information, this research aims to assess the impact of various factors, including age, education, and travel time, on survival while controlling for confounding effects using propensity score adjustment. Methods: A total of 380 patients with HIV were included in this study, categorized into an intervention group receiving a specific treatment regimen and a control group. The primary outcome measured was the time to death or censoring. Survival analysis was performed using the Cox proportional hazards model, adjusted for potential confounders, including treatment (intervention and control), age, education, travel time, and gestational age at enrollment. Propensity scores were also incorporated to adjust for treatment selection bias. Results: The Cox model revealed a significant protective effect of the intervention on survival (hazard ratio (HR) = 0.583, p = 0.045), indicating that the treatment improved survival outcomes compared to the control group. After adjusting for propensity scores, the relationship between the intervention and survival remained significant (HR = 0.631, p = 0.106), suggesting the robustness of the treatment’s effect even after accounting for confounding variables. Other covariates, such as age, education, and travel time, did not show significant independent effects on survival, likely due to their correlation with the treatment variable. Conclusions: This study highlights the crucial role of the intervention in enhancing survival among individuals with HIV. The use of propensity score adjustment improves the validity of these findings by mitigating confounding bias in observational data. These results highlight the importance of ART (antiretroviral therapy) in HIV management and demonstrate the utility of statistical methods like propensity scores in clinical research. Further studies with diverse populations and advanced methodologies are recommended to validate these findings across different settings. Full article

Osteoporosis therapy is a crucial component of fragility fracture patients’ care. A Quality Improvement Project (QIP) was undertaken to review and improve such bone protection practice within a busy UK hospital orthopaedic department. Full-loop audit cycles, totalling 216 patients, were conducted before and after the implementation of a single-page checklist. This intervention significantly increased consultant-led osteoporosis plans by 37%, enhanced bone-sparing treatment administration by 20%, and eliminated unsafe prescriptions. Provision timeliness was not affected, but the communication of correct discharge information was significantly improved by 27%, and staff surveys showed the checklist was well-received, easy-to-use, and educational. Hopefully this will encourage other orthogeriatric teams to utilise a similarly effective and simple QI strategy. Full article

Orthopedic implant technology has historically seen difficulties in attaining long-term stability and biological integration, leading to complications such as implant loosening, wear debris production, and heightened infection risk. Nanotechnology provides a revolutionary method for addressing these constraints through the introduction of materials characterized by exceptional biocompatibility, durability, and integration potential. Nanomaterials (NMs), characterized by distinctive surface topographies and elevated surface area-to-volume ratios, facilitate improved osseointegration and provide regulated medication release, thereby creating a localized therapeutic milieu surrounding the implant site. To overcome the long-standing constraints of conventional implants, such as poor osseointegration, low mechanical fixation, immunological rejection, and implant-related infections, nanotechnology is causing a revolution in the field of orthopedic research. NMs are ideally suited for orthopedic applications due to their exceptional features, including increased tribology, wear resistance, prolonged drug administration, and excellent tissue regeneration. Because of their nanoscale size, they can imitate the hierarchical structure of real bone, which in turn encourages the proliferation of cells, lowers the risk of infection, and helps with the mending of bone fractures. This article will investigate the wide-ranging possibilities of nanostructured ceramics, polymers, metals, and carbon materials in bone tissue engineering, diagnostics, and the treatment of implant-related infections, bone malignancies, and bone healing. In addition, this paper will provide a basic overview of the most recent discoveries in nanotechnology driving the future of translational orthopedic research. It will also highlight safety evaluations and regulatory requirements for orthopedic devices. Full article

The COVID-19 pandemic exposed the urgent need for scalable, reliable telemedicine tools to manage mild cases remotely and avoid overburdening healthcare systems. This study evaluates StepCare, a remote monitoring medical device, during the first pandemic wave at a single center in Spain. Among 35 patients monitored, StepCare showed high clinical reliability, aligning with physician assessments in 90.4% of cases. Patients and clinicians reported excellent usability and satisfaction. The system improved workflow efficiency, reducing triage time by 25% and associated costs by 84%. These results highlight StepCare’s value as a scalable, patient-centered solution for remote care during health crises. Full article
