Background: CrossFit is a high intensity functional training that tends to challenge physical limits. The objectives of this study were to assess functional capacity, prevalence and risk of injury in CrossFit practitioners.
Methods: This cross-sectional, observational and prospective study evaluate the rate of injuries that occurred in CrossFit practitioners in the last 12 months and their functional capacities.
Objectives: To evaluate the influence of secondhand cigarette smoke exposure on longitudinal growth of the tibia of growing rats and some parameters of bone quality.
Methods: Forty female rats were randomly divided into four groups: control: rats were sham exposed; 30 days: rats were exposed to tobacco smoke for 30 days; 45 days: rats were exposed to tobacco smoke for 45 days; and 60 days: rats were exposed to tobacco smoke for 60 days. Blood samples were collected to evaluate the levels of cotinine and alkaline phosphatase.
Knowledge of the anatomical variations of the muscles of the first dorsal compartments of the wrist is clinically relevant to De Quervain's tenosynovitis and to reconstructive surgeries. In the literature, there are many reports of the presence of multiple insertion tendons in the first dorsal compartment of the wrist, but few reports describe occurrences of fusion and muscle contributions. This case report describes an anomalous bilateral contribution of the extensor pollicis longus.

Methods: Eighteen male and 18 female Wistar rats were studied from the 3rd to the 21st week of age. BM, MTL, and TL were measured daily, and relative growth was compared using allometry.
Purpose: To evaluate the effect of surgical treatment on the control of upright balance in adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS).
Methods: Thirty adolescents were divided into two groups: Group C (n=15) consisted of individuals without scoliosis (control), and Group S (n=15) consisted of individuals with scoliosis. The mean amplitude and velocity of the center of pressure (COP) evaluations in the anterior-posterior and medial-lateral directions were obtained before surgery and at 7, 30, 60 and 90-days after surgery, in an upright position, using a force platform.
