BACKGROUND To describe the patient population, etiology, and complications associated with thigh compartment syndrome (TCS). TCS is a rare condition, affecting less than 0.3% of trauma patients, caused by elevated pressure within a constrained fascial space which can result in tissue necrosis, fibrosis, and physical impairment in addition to other complications. Compartment releases performed a...

BACKGROUND Decision-making in treatment of an acute compartment syndrome is based on clinical assessment, supported by invasive monitoring. Thus, evolving compartment syndrome may require repeated pressure measurements. In suspected cases of potential compartment syndromes clinical assessment alone seems to be unreliable. The objective of this study was to investigate the feasibility of a non-i...

this study was performed in order to consider the effect of management plans on forest, through comparison between qualitative and quantitative characteristics of managed and unmanaged forests. compartment no. 149 from shourab district (52.8 ha) and compartment no. 218 from jamand district (68.7 ha) were selected as managed and unmanaged forests, respectively and were inventoried using a system...

Recent reports describe hematopoietic abnormalities in mice with targeted instability of the mitochondrial genome. However, these abnormalities have not been fully described. We demonstrate that mutant animals develop an age-dependent, macrocytic anemia with abnormal erythroid maturation and megaloblastic changes, as well as profound defects in lymphopoiesis. Mice die of severe fatal anemia at ...

This paper emphasizes the anatomical substrate of several foot conditions that are seldom discussed in this context. These include the insertional and non-insertional Achilles tendinopathies, plantar fasciopathy, inferior and posterior heel spurs, foot compartment syndromes, intermetatarsal bursitis and Morton's neuroma. It is a rather superficial anatomical review of an organ that remains larg...

Physiotherapists with experience in sports injuries are an essential part of the marathon medical team as they are familiar with the injuries suffered by the long distance runners and are thus able to make a rapid assessment of the injury on the marathon day and treat accordingly. The long distance runner is liable to suffer from the whole gamut of injuries to the lower limb including muscle an...

Primary care physicians must be able to recognize wrist and hand injuries that require immediate attention. A complete history and physical examination, including assessment of distal limb function, are essential. Hemorrhage control is necessary in patients with vessel lacerations and amputations. Amputations require an understanding of the indications and contraindications in the management of...
