Radial nerve compression at the arcade of Frohse is a rare but significant condition that typically presents with pain primarily after exertion and at night on the dorsal side of the forearm, more distally than tennis elbow pain, and weakness of the wrist extensors and the long fingers and thumb extensors. Traditional treatment often involves open surgery, resulting in significant scarring. This study introduces a novel percutaneous radial nerve release technique under complete ultrasound guidance and highlights its efficacy and safety.

Aims: This study aimed to characterize patients with exertional dyspnoea and normal/near-to-normal N-terminal pro-brain natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) levels with regard to early stages of HFpEF and non-cardiac causes.

Rhabdomyolysis is a severe condition involving the breakdown of skeletal muscle fibers, leading to the release of muscle components into the bloodstream, which can lead to potential complications such as acute kidney injury and electrolyte imbalances. The etiology of rhabdomyolysis is multifactorial, encompassing traumatic, exertional, metabolic, infectious, toxic, and genetic causes. Genetic causes, including variants in LPIN1, RYR1, and CACNA1S, are increasingly recognized as significant contributors to recurrent rhabdomyolysis.

Although exercise has been proposed as an effective therapeutic strategy for PCC, there is limited evidence on individualised and symptom-titrated exercise interventions in patients with fatigue and PEM.
