Background: Knee osteoarthritis (KOA) is a prevalent degenerative joint disease. The primary pathological manifestations of KOA include articular cartilage degeneration, joint space narrowing, and osteophyte formation, leading to a spectrum of symptoms, including joint pain, stiffness, reduced mobility, diminished muscle strength, and severe disability. We aimed to utilize a meta-analysis to evaluate the efficacy of isokinetic muscle strengthening training (IMST) as a rehabilitation treatment for KOA in lowland areas.

Introduction: By combining nerve and tendon transfer procedures, a more versatile hand function can be expected. Here we report the long-term outcomes of novel, individualized reconstruction strategies using combined nerve and tendon transfer procedures (CNaTT) to restore prehension and grasp in two patients with tetraplegia.
Case Presentation: Two women, 45 years of age, underwent bilateral nerve transfer according to the Bertelli S-PIN (supinator to posterior interosseous nerve transfer) procedure.

Introduction And Aims: Mitochondrial myopathies are rare genetic disorders for which no effective treatment exists. We previously showed that the pharmacological cyclophilin inhibitor cyclosporine A (CsA) extends the lifespan of fast-twitch skeletal muscle-specific mitochondrial transcription factor A knockout (Tfam KO) mice, lacking the ability to transcribe mitochondrial DNA and displaying lethal mitochondrial myopathy. Our present aim was to assess whether the positive effect of CsA was associated with improved in vivo mitochondrial energy production.

Introduction: K wire is one of the most common implants used for fixation of acromioclavicular joint dislocation. The migration of K wire from the AC joint to the spinal canal is a rare occurrence. In this report, the authors present a case of a young adult who presented with weakness of the left upper limb secondary to migration of the K wire from the AC joint to the spinal canal.
