Exertion induced rhabdomyolysis in both triceps muscles in a 36-year old woman: A case report.

Rhabdomyolysis is a condition, often caused by strenuous exercise, which can lead to acute kidney injury, severe electrolyte imbalances, coagulopathies, compartment syndromes, and even have a fatal outcome in a few cases. Recognition and management of fluid and electrolyte abnormalities is one of the first steps of treatment and key to a good outcome. We report a case of a 36-year old woman who was referred to the ER by her general practitioner with severe muscle tenderness to the upper arms and highly elevated creatine kinase (CK) serum levels.

Thumb Arthroplasty as Reliable Long-term Solution for Trapeziometacarpal Osteoarthritis: A Minimum of 15 Years of Follow-up.

Background: In patients with symptomatic trapeziometacarpal (TMC) joint arthritis resistant to conservative treatment, surgical treatment can be advised. One of the many surgical treatment options is TMC arthroplasty. The Arpe prosthesis is one example of these TMC arthroplasties.

Diagnostic Performance of Chest CT for SARS-CoV-2 Infection in Individuals with or without COVID-19 Symptoms.

Background The use of chest CT for coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) diagnosis or triage in health care settings with limited severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) polymerase chain reaction (PCR) capacity is controversial. COVID-19 Reporting and Data System (CO-RADS) categorization of the level of COVID-19 suspicion might improve diagnostic performance. Purpose To investigate the value of chest CT with CO-RADS classification to screen for asymptomatic SARS-CoV-2 infections and to determine its diagnostic performance in individuals with COVID-19 symptoms during the exponential phase of viral spread.
