Background: To assess the contribution of ultrasound in diagnosing occupational carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS), compare it with electromyography (EMG) results, and evaluate the ultrasound characteristics of CTS patients.

Methods: A nine-month cross-sectional study (January-September 2021) involved CTS patients and a control group, utilizing a structured form for data collection. EMG was performed on the patient group ('cases') and ultrasound examinations were conducted on both groups.

We examined the effects of eight weeks of single-mode resistance, repeated sprint training, and the combination of the two programs on selected measures of physical fitness (muscle power, speed, and body composition), hematological parameters, and plasma volume variations in highly trained soccer players. Sixty male soccer players from the Tunisian national Ligue were randomly allocated to a resistance training group (RTG), a repeated sprint training group (RSTG), a combined resistance and repeated sprint training group (CTG), or an active control group (CG, soccer training only). The training volumes were similar between groups.

Article Synopsis
  • This study compares the clinical and radiographic outcomes of two surgical methods (orthogonal vs. parallel plating) for treating intercondylar fractures of the humerus in 50 adult patients.
  • Both groups showed similar preoperative characteristics and functional outcomes, with no significant differences found in the Mayo Elbow Performance Score (MEPS).
  • Radiographically, both plating methods demonstrated comparable healing times and complication rates, indicating that both techniques are effective for this type of fracture, highlighting the need for further research to determine the best approach for different fracture types.
