Article Synopsis
- * It can also be linked to problems in motor and sensory pathways, including injuries related to the spinal cord.
- * This report features a unique case of a patient who developed focal hand dystonia following a cervical mass hemorrhage, and it discusses potential underlying mechanisms based on existing literature.
Introduction: Although different dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) scanners provide different bone mineral density (BMD) values, there is not a gold standard DXA scanner. T-score is used to facilitate the interpretation of BMD, and osteoporosis (OP) is diagnosed based on T-scores. In this retrospective study, we aimed to evaluate the BMD and T-score differences between Lunar Prodigy and Hologic Horizon DXA scanners.

Despite its efficacy, the existing injection protocol lacks precision, prompting a call for revision in light of modern ultrasound (US)-guided techniques. This article highlights the potential of US-guided injections to enhance accuracy, safety, and efficacy in CM treatment.

- Physiatrists are working with disaster survivors, focusing on muscle and nerve injuries from events like the Turkey-Syria earthquake, highlighting the importance of neuromusculoskeletal ultrasound in treatment.
- A study involved 52 earthquake victims, examining their demographics, injury types, and treatments, with a significant number suffering from incomplete peripheral nerve lesions.
- The use of ultrasound is crucial for rehabilitation in these cases, suggesting that portable ultrasound technology should be utilized for on-site examinations during early disaster response.
Article Synopsis
- The study explored the connection between probable sarcopenia, osteoporosis, and supraspinatus tendon tears in postmenopausal women, finding that these conditions often co-occur.
- Out of 1443 participants, 268 (18.6%) had supraspinatus tendon tears, which were more common on the dominant side and associated with factors like older age, lower education levels, and poorer grip strength.
- Key risk factors for these tears included age, hypertension, osteoporosis, and probable sarcopenia, suggesting that assessments of tendon health should be prioritized in patients with these risk factors.
Unlabelled: As muscle and bone are closely-related, we have explored the association between sarcopenia-related measurements and bone mineral density (BMD) (and osteoporosis) in postmenopausal women. Grip strength, anterior thigh muscle thickness and chair stand test were found to be related with BMD. Additionally, grip strength < 22 kg increased the odds ratio of osteoporosis 1.

Aim: To investigate the relationship between cognition and sarcopenia-related parameters in middle-aged and older adults.
Methods: Demographic data and comorbidities of adults ≥ 45-year-old were noted.
Objectives: The aims of the study were to investigate the relationship between sarcopenia and renin-angiotensin system-related disorders and to explore the effects of angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors and angiotensin II receptor blockers on muscle mass/function and physical performance.
Design: This multicenter, cross-sectional study was performed using ISarcoPRM algorithm for the diagnosis of sarcopenia.
Results: Of the 2613 participants (mean age = 61.
