Vitamin D is associated to bone health and reduction in the incidence of fractures. However, this condition remains increasing specially during elderly, predisposing to frailty and increasing hospital stay days. The reduction in vitamin D levels could explain the high incidence of fractures as well as mortality. This is an observational transversal retrospective study. This study aimed to determine the relation between frailty and fractures in patients with low vitamin D levels. We found 914 patients with vitamin D levels; however, we included just 319 patients who had previous imaging study, vitamin D determination, and confirmed diagnosis of frailty. Patients with surgical fractures, chronic kidney disease or vitamin D supplementation were excluded from this study. The main fractures related to long hospital stay (> 5 days), frailty, and low vitamin D levels were clavicle fracture; however, scaphoids fracture was related to shorter hospital stay and higher vitamin D levels. Most of fractures happened over 60 years old in women and under 60 years old in men. Vitamin D deficiency was related to long hospital stay in all fractures, despite the deficiency, vitamin D levels over 12 ng/mL were related to better outcomes in all patients; however, serum vitamin D levels related to the incidence of fracture were lower than reported in literature.

This study looked at the relationship of transformational leadership and job satisfaction to turnover intention, including the mediating factor of organizational commitment among 87 call center agents in Metro Manila, Philippines. This study used a quantitative-cross-sectional and explanatory design and involved online survey of call center employees as a research method. Respondents were selected through a non-probability sampling technique specifically through snowball sampling or referral method. The results of this research showed a high level of transformational leadership exhibited in call center companies, high level of job satisfaction among call center agents, high organizational commitment but only average turnover intention. Most importantly, this research highlights the important role that organizational commitment as a mediator as the results of this study showed that organizational commitment fully mediates the relationship of transformational leadership and job satisfaction to turnover intention.

Calabash tree (C. cujete) is a flowering plant indigenous in the Philippines and used as a traditional medicine. The study aimed to assess the effects of fruit and leaf extracts from Calabash (C. cujete) on the percent inhibition, chromosomal aberrations, mitotic index and percent germination of the onion (Allium cepa) cell division and mongo seed (V. radiata) germination exposed to sodium azide (NaN3). Allium assay was used to determine the mitotic index and chromosomal aberrations with 400 mg/L C. cujete fruit and leaf extracts concentrations. The Cresentia cujete fruit extract exhibits more antimitotic and antigenotoxic potential compared to the leaf extract based on the mitotic index and frequency of chromosomal aberrations in the onion root cells. Thus, the fruit extract contains more phytochemicals compared to the leaf extract.
