  1. "One 2005 study found that nine percent of hip fracture patients died within 30 days of breaking a hip and that 30 percent died within the first year. But more recent studies of healing hips suggest that early weight-bearing decreases mortality rates, and doctors have altered their practices. “The normal standard of care is [now] to fix it and let people walk,” Trompeter says."

    Novaya Gazeta Journalist Diagnosed With Brain Injury, Multiple Fractures After Attack In Chechnya

    "#Milashina is in Moscow in hospital. Her condition is, frankly, difficult. She was really severely beaten," #Dmitry #Muratov, the editor in chief of the independent newspaper #Novaya #gazeta, told AFP.

    The journalist said in the video that around 10 to 15 attackers had beaten her with plastic pipes.

    She said that authorities routinely used such pipes to attack detainees in Chechnya, and that she had written about the practice before.

    "It is a powerful weapon," she said in the video. "It really hurt."

    Since 2000, Novaya gazeta has seen six of its journalists and contributors killed.

    Muratov, co-winner of the 2021 Nobel Peace Prize, suspended the newspaper’s operations in March 2022 after receiving warnings from state communications regulator Roskomnadzor regarding its coverage of Russia's unprovoked invasion of Ukraine.

    Milashina, 45, who covers rights abuses in #Chechnya for Russia's top independent newspaper, Novaya gazeta, received a #brain #injury, bruises, and up to 14 #fractures in her hands in the beating, Novaya gazeta said on July 5 after she was examined in a Moscow clinic.

    Milashina is conscious and in stable condition, Novaya gazeta Europe said, citing doctors. The condition of #Nemov, who was stabbed in the leg, has not been reported.

    The newspaper released pictures of Milashina showing both her hands bandaged. The attackers also shaved her head and doused green antiseptic on her face and head.

    Milashina noted that the attackers grabbed her equipment but didn’t touch cash and other valuables that she and Nemov had with them, leaving her certain that the attack was #directly #related to their #professional #work in Chechnya.
