The patient, a 30-year-old woman, presented with a sudden, painless, and severe decrease in vision in both eyes. The ophthalmological examination revealed a normal anterior segment and intraocular pressure, but a fundus examination showed bilateral macular hemorrhage. In the absence of a known history, a metabolic and hematological biological assessment was conducted.

- Ulnar nerve compression at the elbow is a common issue, and this study explores how elbow flexion and distraction create tension on the nerve, potentially contributing to the problem.
- Eight upper limb specimens were tested by measuring the tension on the ulnar nerve during elbow flexion and varied distraction levels while manipulating its proximal and distal clamps.
- Results show that tension on the ulnar nerve increased with flexion, distraction, and proximal clamping, with the highest tension observed 4-6 cm below the medial epicondyle.
Peripheral nerve injuries, associated with significant morbidity, can benefit from electrical stimulation (ES), as demonstrated in animal studies through improved axonal growth. This study combined the clinical gold standard of isograft repair in a rat model of sciatic nerve injury to evaluate the effects of intraoperative ES on functional tests and histology. Forty rats underwent a surgically induced gap injury to the right sciatic nerve and subsequent repair with an isograft.

There is increasing demand for more efficient and safe rehabilitation protocols. This randomized prospective study evaluates the need for hip restrictions following a modified anterolateral procedure.
