Determination of Prefracture Physical Function in Community-Dwelling People Who Fracture Their Hip
摘要:
Background, Prefracture physical function must be accurately determined to set appropriate and attainable goals for rehabilitation following hip fracture. This is especially important for people who were living independently prior to their fracture. This study determines reliability and internal consistency of a prefracture physical function questionnaire (PFPFQ) completed by both patients and knowledgeable informants (KIs).Methods. A 20-item PFPFQ, including ambulation, transfers, balance, and self-care domains, was developed using focus groups. Community-dwelling patients with a hip fracture (N = 40, 77.9 +/- 8 years) completed the PFPFQ on two occasions during postoperative acute care. Forty KIs were identified by the patients and also completed the PFPFQ on two occasions via telephone interview. Day-to-day reliability of the patients and KIs [intraclass correlation coefficients (ICC)], and internal consistency [Kuder-Richardson coefficient (KR)] of the PFPFQ were determined.Results. Intrarater reliability was high with ICCs (95% confidence interval) of 0.94 (0.89, 0.96) for patients and 0.96 (0.93, 0.98) for KIs. Interrater reliability on occasion 1 had an ICC of 0.81 (0.69, 0.88). Internal consistency of the patient responses on the first occasion was high (KR coefficient = 0.896).Conclusions. The PFPFQ is a reliable and internally consistent instrument for determining prefracture physical function in community-dwelling people who fracture their hip. In situations where patients with a hip fracture are unable to provide this necessary information, KIs can provide reliable estimates of prefracture function to assist in setting appropriate rehabilitation goals.
of α‐methylene‐γ‐lactones through the palladium(II)‐catalyzed lactonization of homoallylic alcohols with alkynamides has been reported. The hydroxyl group in the terminal olefins cooperates with the amide in alkynamides to promote the cyclization by suppressing the β‐H elimination. This process provides a route to construct naturally occurring biologically multifunctional α‐methylene‐γ‐lactones.

The current application relates to a pharmaceutical composition for the treatment or amelioration of a neurological disease, wherein the composition comprises a therapeutically effective amount of a caspase-6 inhibitor which is an arylpropynamide derivative. The composition can be formulated for oral or topical administration, subcutaneous, intravenous, or intramuscular injection, infusion, inhalation, or intrthecal injection.
Three in one: A highly efficient and mild PdII‐catalyzed carboesterification of alkenes with carboxylic alkyne derivatives proceeds through a domino‐type alkyne–alkene coupling/CO‐bond formation (see scheme). The stereoselectivity is controlled by the choice of substrates and temperature. The reaction provides a convenient method for the construction of naturally occurring biologically active compounds
Palladium/Copper Bimetallic System-Mediated Cross-Coupling of Alkynes and Alkenes: Two Strategies to Suppress β-H Elimination on Alkyl-Palladium Center
efficient strategies to suppress β‐H elimination during the palladium/copper bimetallic system‐mediated cross‐coupling between alkynamides and alkenes. Remote donor groups with the terminal olefins, such as toluenesulfonamide, phosphate, sulfone, etc., cooperate with the amide of alkynamides and chelate the palladium active center, to promote C(sp3)O bond formation by suppressing the β‐H elimination
