Four bacterial strains belonging to species Bacillus pumilus, Clostridium subterminale, and Clostridium sporogenes isolated…[Read more]

Serious falls in the previous two years were related to pre-frailty (OR = 1.815, 95% CI 1.153-2.859) and frailty (OR = 2.797, 95% CI 1.655-4.727). In addition, frail individuals were found to be at higher risk for outpatient visits over the previous month (OR = 2.091, 95% CI 1.502-2.911) and readmission over the previous year (OR = 2.033, 95% CI…[Read more]
