Injuries related to participation in golf are becoming more common given the increasing popularity of the sport itself. Golf is considered to be an activity associated with a moderate risk for sports injuries. Golf injuries are usually attributable to overuse or traumatic mechanisms and primarily occur at the elbow, wrist, shoulder, and lumbar spine. None of these injuries are unique to golf, but each of these injuries represent the most common injuries associated with golfing. This article reviews a wide range of injuries that are encountered in golfers and describes the magnetic resonance imaging findings of each of these injuries.

Background: Digital nerve injuries significantly affect hand function and quality of life, necessitating effective reconstruction strategies. Autologous nerve grafting remains the gold standard due to its superior biocompatibility, despite recent advancements in nerve conduits and allogenic grafts. This study aims to propose a novel zone-based strategy for donor nerve selection to improve outcomes in digital nerve reconstruction.

In the search for novel natural products with hepatoprotective effects against acetaminophen-induced acute liver injury, the marine-derived fungus WHUF0198 was investigated. Seventeen undescribed pyranopyridone alkaloids, aculeapyridones A-Q (-), were isolated by bioactivity-guided fractionation of an extract obtained by coculture of the WHUF0198 with the mangrove-associated fungus sp. DM27.

: This study explores how thoracic orientation affects lung pressure and injury outcomes from shock waves, building on earlier research that suggested human posture impacts injury severity. : A layered finite element model of the chest was constructed based on the Chinese Visual Human Dataset (CVH), including the rib and intercostal muscle layers. The dynamic response of the chest under 12 different angle-oriented shock waves under incident pressures of 200 kPa and 500 kPa was calculated.
