How Does Blood-Flow Restriction Alter Forehand Drive Performance and Muscle Recruitment in Tennis Players?

Int J Sports Physiol Perform

December 2024

School of Human Sciences (Exercise and Sport Science), University of Western Australia, Perth, WA, Australia.

Purpose: To examine the acute effects of forehand drive (FD) preconditioning with or without blood-flow restriction (BFR) on subsequent forehand performance and muscle recruitment in tennis.

Methods: On separate visits, 12 well-trained tennis players participated in 4 randomized trials. Each visit included pretests (maximal muscle-activation capacity or FD performance), a preconditioning phase, and posttests after 5 minutes of rest (ie, similar to pretests).

Purpose: Recently, blood flow restriction (BFR) and cross education (CE) trainings are the options for quadriceps strength recovery after anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR). The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of CE combined with BFR on quadriceps strength and thickness after ACLR.

Methods: Twenty-four male patients [(Age: 24.

Evidence-based cesarean delivery: intraoperative management from skin incision until placental delivery (Part 8).

Am J Obstet Gynecol MFM

December 2024

Division of Maternal Fetal Medicine, Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Thomas Jefferson University, Philadelphia, PA. Electronic address:

The goal of standardizing the technique of the routine, uncomplicated cesarean delivery (CD) is to decrease maternal morbidity while optimizing neonatal outcomes. During the procedure, a family-oriented CD is recommended. The low transverse cesarean skin incision (created with either scalpel or diathermy) is preferred with either the Joel-Cohen or Pfannenstiel methods being acceptable.

Department of Imaging Sciences and Interventional Radiology, Sree Chitra Tirunal Institute for Medical Sciences and Technology, Thiruvananthapuram, Kerala, India.

Direct carotid cavernous fistula is an abnormal arterio-venous connection from the carotid artery to the cavernous sinus (CS), resulting in high-pressure arterial blood entering the low-pressure venous CS. Most often, it occurs posttrauma and presents with ipsilateral orbital signs. In this report, we describe the case of a 54-year-old man, who presented with a late-onset right-sided red eye and diplopia following contralateral (left sided) orbital trauma (road traffic accident 7 months ago).

Arthroscopic Reconstruction of the Acetabular Labrum Using an Autograft Hip Capsule.

JBJS Essent Surg Tech

December 2024

Sports Medicine Center, Department of Orthopaedics, Massachusetts General Hospital, Mass General Brigham, Boston, Massachusetts.

Background: Whereas uncomplicated labral tears with preserved fibers can be effectively treated with use of labral repair techniques, complex tears and hypoplastic labra require labral reconstruction. Standard reconstruction techniques feature grafted tissue that is added to existing, deficient tissue or that is utilized to replace a hypoplastic labrum entirely. However, such approaches utilizing allografts or remote autografts are limited because they often necessitate extensive debridement of the existing labrum to prepare a site for graft implantation, an approach that can damage and devascularize the chondrolabral junction.
