Introduction: Micro-RNAs (miRNAs) are important post-transcriptional regulators. By binding to complementary RNA strands, they affect mRNA levels and/or mRNA translation. We have previously identified ~90 miRNAs with significant expression levels, with a subset of miRNAs exhibiting interindividual and/or gender differences in expression. In the present project, we have investigated the impact of treatment of parathyroid hormone (PTH) and dexamethasone (DEXA) on global miRNA ex...

Purpose: To describe the timing and whereabouts of the hip fracture patient at the time of fracture in a population-based setting and to relate these factors with residential and health status, seasonal variation and snow-covered ground.Methods: We consecutively included 486 hip fracture cases (age ≥50 years) admitted to a Swedish Orthopedic Department during a 1-year period. Data concerning socio-demographic details, fall location, time of fractur...
