To determine the histopathologic correlates of alterations in rotator cuff at magnetic resonance (MR) imaging, 13 cadaveric shoulders (in subjects aged 26-83 years time death) underwent MR imaging coronal oblique plane 1.5 T with proton-density- and T2-weighted spin-echo sequences. Areas corresponding to sites were then examined histologically. Increased signal intensity on proton-density-weighted images (without further increased images) an indistinct margin articular side supraspinatus...

Abnormalities of the long tendon biceps brachii muscle commonly accompany other lesions about shoulder, especially rotator cuff rupture, and are a frequent cause painful shoulder. The spectrum abnormalities associated with medial displacement seen at magnetic resonance (MR) imaging was reviewed in six patients.

Retrospective evaluation of the osseous pelvis in 93 patients with severe diffuse idiopathic skeletal hyperostosis (DISH) revealed 14 locations radiographic abnormalities. Two osteoradiologists independently studied these sites for abnormalities a prospective, blinded fashion 103 over age 45 years. Lateral radiographs thoracolumbar spine were quantitatively and qualitatively evaluated to determine whether DISH, spondylosis deformans, or normal was present. Statistical analysis performed...

Background: Long COVID is a debilitating multisystem condition. To estimate prevalence and identify risk factors, we analysed routinely collected data from almost the entire adult population of Scotland.Methods: A cohort adults (≥18 years) resident in Scotland between March 1, 2020, October 20, 2022, was created by linking primary care, secondary laboratory testing prescribing. Four outcome measures were used to long COVID: clinical codes, free text care records, on sick notes, novel...

Lateral ankle ligaments are injured by hyperinversion of the foot. Foot position is controlled lower limb muscles. Awareness foot impaired wearing shoes. We aimed to determine influence shoes upon muscle activity. Sixty-two healthy subjects underwent same measurements, barefoot and with standardized in a random order. Electromyography (EMG) was recorded from peroneus longus response sudden unanticipated inversion ipsilateral Following inversion, EMG signal showed an initial peak contraction...

Health risk appraisals (HRA) are a common type of workplace health promotion programme offered by American employers. In the United Kingdom, evidence their effectiveness for promoting behaviour change remains inconclusive. This randomized controlled trial examined effects two HRA interventions on lifestyle parameters, mental and work ability in UK context. A total 180 employees were into one three groups: Group (HRA augmented with education activities), B only) C (control, no intervention)....

High-resolution real-time sonography not only provides a noninvasive means of diagnosing hip effusions, but also easy access for arthrocentesis. Nineteen sonographically guided arthrocentesis were performed in 18 patients. In 13 19 patients aspirated, capsular distension was present. 10 patients, fluid could be aspirated from the joint space (volume varying 1 to 9 mL). Saline lavage 12 joints needled. Intra-articular location confirmed by observation during on images or successful...
