BACKGROUND: Most methods for soft tissue stiffness assessment require high financial resources, significant technical effort, or extensive therapist training. The PACT Sense device was developed to be used in a wide range of applications and user groups. However, to date, there are no data on its validity and reliability. The aim of this study was to investigate the validity and reliability of the PACT device. METHODS: A polyurethane phantom tissue model (PTM) mimicking the mechanical properties of the fascia profunda and the erector spinae muscle was used...

BACKGROUND: In adults, the intermediate tendon of digastricus muscle usually runs along the medial or lateral side of the stylohyoideus muscle insertion. To provide a better understanding of the variations, we examined the topographical anatomy of the muscle and tendon in fetuses. METHODS: We examined histological sections from six early-term, 26 mid-term and six near-term fetuses (approximately 8-9, 12-18 weeks and 25-33 weeks). RESULTS: At early-term, an initial sheath of intermediate tendon of digastricus muscle received the stylohyoideus muscle at the superior aspect...

BACKGROUND: Fascia iliaca compartment block (FICB) is one of the regional nerve blocks used to reduce pain after total hip arthroplasty (THA). We aim to assess the efficacy of FICB in reducing post-operative pain and opioid consumption. METHODS: We searched PubMed, Web of Science, Cochrane Library, Embase, and Scopus on February 19, 2023, and we updated our search in august 2023 using relevant search strategy. Studies were extensively screened for eligibility by title and abstract screening, followed by full-text screening...

BACKGROUND: Tumescent local anesthesia (TLA) involves the infusion of a saline solution containing lidocaine and epinephrine into tissues to achieve localized anesthesia and vasoconstriction. While the use of TLA in sub-glandular augmentation mammoplasty has been documented, we present a modified TLA approach for primary sub-muscular breast augmentation in transgender patients based on our experience over the past years. METHODS: Between the years 2014 and 2021, we performed primary sub-muscular breast augmentation on 20 transgender patients under TLA and conscious sedation...

BACKGROUND: The endoscopic surgery for persistent muscular torticollis has been well-described and most are subcutaneous working caverns. As the sternocleidomastoid muscle is located beneath the deep cervical fascia that corresponds to the pectoral fascia, this study aimed to review our results of the transaxillary approach under the pectoral fascia and the deep cervical fascia. METHODS: Between November 2009 and January 2022, pediatric patients with persistent muscular torticollis receiving transaxillary endoscopic subfascial operation were retrospectively reviewed and analyzed...

Moyamoya disease is a progressive nonatherosclerotic stenosis of the terminal segments of the arteries of the Circle of Willis. Hemorrhagic presentation is a life-threatening condition, associated with an increased risk of rebleeding and ischemic events.1-7 We present the case of a 65-year-old woman with a right intracerebral hemorrhage who underwent emergency hematoma evacuation without bone flap replacement. The investigation confirmed the diagnosis of Moyamoya disease and demonstrated hypoperfusion of the right cerebral hemisphere...

BACKGROUND: Postoperative opioid administration has been largely replaced by regional anesthesia techniques. We aimed to determine whether intraoperative Analgesia-Nociception Index (ANI) can aid in early evaluation of the effectiveness of regional blocks such as the pectoralis muscle fascia block (PECS, pectoserratus and interpectoral plane blocks) and predicting the need for analgesics postoperatively. METHODS: This prospective observational study enrolled 30 women (age: 20-80 years) undergoing unilateral, non-intubated, breast tumor excision alone or in conjunction with sentinel lymph node biopsy...

INTRODUCTION: Manual techniques for total hip arthroplasty (THA) have been widely utilized and proven to be clinically successful. However, the use of advanced computed tomography (CT) scan-based planning and haptically-bounded reamers in robotic-arm assisted total hip arthroplasty (RTHA) holds promise for potentially limiting surrounding soft-tissue damage. This cadaver-based study aimed to compare the extent of soft-tissue damage between a robotic-arm assisted, haptically-guided THA (RTHA) and a manual, fluoroscopic-guided THA (MTHA) direct anterior approach...

UNLABELLED: Objective: Pharyngocutaneous fistula (PCF) is a common and often devastating complication of total laryngectomy. Patients undergoing a total laryngectomy need enhancement of the neopharynx to reduce the risk of PCF formation. Our study aimed to evaluate the formation of a PCF following a total laryngectomy in patients that underwent a modified closure technique of their neopharynx. This technique included the recruitment of a flap of the muscular division of the pretracheal fascia that invests the strap muscles as a protective blanket...

INTRODUCTION: The main generator of delayed onset muscle soreness (DOMS) is still unknown. This study aimed to clarify the main generator of DOMS. METHODS: Twelve participants performed eccentric exercise (EE) on lower legs. MRI and ultrasound were used to assess changes of calf muscle and deep fascia before and after EE. These results were then compared to the muscle pain level. RESULTS: Compared to baseline, muscle pain peaked at 24-48 h after EE (downstairs 22...

BACKGROUND: Open Abdomen (OA) cases represent a significant surgical and resource challenge. AbClo is a novel non-invasive abdominal fascial closure device that engages lateral components of the abdominal wall muscles to support gradual approximation of the fascia and reduce the fascial gap. The study objective was to assess the economic implications of AbClo compared to negative pressure wound therapy (NPWT) alone on OA management. METHODS: We conducted a cost-minimization analysis using a decision tree comparing the use of the AbClo device to NPWT alone among patients with midline laparotomy for trauma or acute abdominal surgery who were ineligible for primary fascial closure...

OBJECTIVE: Idiopathic inflammatory myopathies (IIMs) are autoimmune disorders significantly impacting skeletal muscles; however, the precise correlation between muscle magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) findings, muscle pathology, disease subtypes, and clinical characteristics remains uncertain. Thus, we investigated the association of muscle MRI findings in IIMs with muscle pathology and clinical features. METHODS: New-onset IIM patients underwent proximal upper and/or lower limb muscle MRI...

Ultrasound phantoms - alternatives to live human tissue - give learners the opportunity to practice ultrasound-guided regional anesthesia without introducing undue risk to patients. Gelatin-based phantoms provide educators with durable and reusable task trainers; however, commercially available gel-based phantoms are expensive. Here, we investigate the production of durable, low-cost, ballistic gel-based ultrasound phantoms for median, femoral, suprainguinal fascia iliaca plane, and serratus anterior plane nerve blocks, as well as a methodology for producing a phantom for any ultrasound-guided nerve block procedure...

REVIEW
Haifa Saleh Almansoof, Shibili Nuhmani, Qassim Muaidi
The kinetic chain refers to the body's intricate coordination of various segments to perform a specific activity involving precise positioning, timing, and speed. This process is based on task-oriented and activity-specific pre-programmed muscle activation patterns enhanced by repeated practice. It demands muscular eccentric strength, joint flexibility, and musculotendinous elastic energy storage. The body core (lumbopelvic-hip complex) forms the kinetic chains' central point of activities in most sports because it facilitates load transfers to and from the limbs...

BACKGROUND: Lipomas are benign and are usually located in subcutaneous tissues. Surgical excision frequently requires an incision equal to the diameter of the lipoma. However, small incisions are more cosmetically pleasing and decrease pain and/or hypoesthesia at the incision. A "fibrous structure" occurs inside the lipoma and is characterized by a low-intensity signal on T1-weighted magnetic resonance images. The "fibrous structure" is actually retaining ligaments with a normal structure that intrudes from the periphery1 ...
