Since 1883, "tennis leg" has described various acute calf injuries linked to activities such as tennis serving or stair climbing. Current research suggests that tennis leg is caused by the injury of the medial head of the gastrocnemius muscle. This case report details the case of a 35-year-old male who suffered sudden and intense calf pain after a minor leg extension injury.

It is unknown if endovascular therapy (EVT) or best medical management (MM) is associated with superior clinical outcomes.
Methods: A systematic literature and comparative meta-analysis was completed to evaluate the safety and efficacy of EVT vs.
Key Clinical Message: Hemophilic pseudotumors are rare complications occurring in individuals with severe hemophilia, characterized by progressive cystic swellings in muscles and/or bones due to recurrent bleeding. Timely initiation of factor VIII replacement is crucial.
Abstract: Hemophilic pseudotumors are rare complications occurring in individuals with severe hemophilia, characterized by progressive cystic swellings in muscles and/or bones due to recurrent bleeding.
Background: The use of acetaminophen in the perioperative period has emerged as an attractive option for providing safer and cost-effective analgesia in children.
Aims: The primary aim of our project was to increase the use of acetaminophen (both oral and intravenous) in the perioperative period from a baseline of 39.5% to 50% for all surgical patients within 24 months.
Background: Recent literature has demonstrated remarkable heterogeneity in the composition of acute ischemic stroke (AIS) emboli, which may impact susceptibility to therapy.
Objectives: In this study, we explored differences in proteomic composition of retrieved embolic material from patients with stroke with and without atrial fibrillation (AF) (AF+ and AF-, respectively).
Methods: The full proteome of retrieved thromboembolic material from 24 patients with AIS was obtained by mass spectrometry.
