OBJECTIVE Determine if preoperative specialty consults meaningfully influence management and outcomes in hip fracture patients, while being comanaged by hospitalists DESIGN: Retrospective cohort study SETTING: Tertiary care hospital in Connecticut PATIENTS: 491 patients aged 50 years and older who underwent surgery for an isolated fragility hip fracture, defined as one occurring from a fall of a height of standing or less.

The proposed Resource Curse Vulnerability Index (RCVI) is based on 9 sub-indicators, namely government effectiveness, voice and accountability, political stability, rule of law, natural resources rent, GDP growth, human development level, transparency level and state fragility index.

The Williams–Landel–Ferry and Vogel–Fulcher–Tamman equations were used to calculate dynamic fragility (m) and apparent activation energy (E g) from T g values.

The presence of ribonucleotides in DNA is associated with genome instability, causing replication stress, chromosome fragility, gross chromosomal rearrangements, and other mutagenic events.

, differential settlement, relative rotation, deflection ratio) that can be used to forecast the severity level of building damage at municipal scale through the generation of empirical fragility and vulnerability curves.
