To evaluate the intra and intersurgeon variability regarding the positioning and selection of implants in reverse shoulder arthroplasty. A cross-sectional study assessed computed tomography images of the shoulder joint of patients diagnosed with degenerative joint diseases. The study team included seven specialists in shoulder surgery, representing six different institutions.

Methods: This cohort study included 20,732 men of ≥40 years of age, who participated in health screening between January 2008 and December 2018. Standardized health data (anthropometric, laboratory, clinical, and lifestyle data) were collected.
Objective: This study aimed to investigate the relationship between depression and erectile dysfunction while controlling for sociodemographic, physical health, psychological, and lifestyle factors. Additionally, it aimed to compare erectile dysfunction with other clinical, laboratory, and behavioral variables among individuals with depression in the same population.
Methods: We included 21,139 men (≥40 years) who underwent continuous health screening in a quaternary hospital in São Paulo between January 2008 and December 2018.

- - The study investigates the relationship between specific shoulder muscle injuries and the occurrence of pseudoparalysis in patients with massive chronic rotator cuff injuries, suggesting that certain muscle conditions are linked to better active shoulder movement.
- - A total of 68 patients were analyzed, with 41 showing good shoulder movement (No Pseudoparalysis group), while 29 had limited movement, leading to further assessments and injections, leading to a distinction between False and True Pseudoparalysis groups.
- - Key findings indicate that the presence of certain signs and tear extensions in the shoulder muscles can increase the risk of pseudoparalysis, highlighting the importance of specific muscle health in shoulder functionality.
