Fluoroquinolone antibiotics are associated with a wide spectrum of musculoskeletal complications that involve not only tendon but also cartilage, bone, and muscle. Insights into the pathoetiology of fluoroquinolone toxicity on musculoskeletal tissues have been evolving over recent years. Although the pathoetiology is certainly multifactorial, alterations in cell signaling proteins and direct toxic effects on musculoskeletal tissues have been strongly implicated. Increasing age and concomitant systemic corticosteroid use appear to significantly increase the risk of adverse events. The purpose of this article is to review the musculoskeletal complications associated with use of fluoroquinolone antibiotics by adults; identify risk factors associated with fluoroquinolone toxicity; explore the possible pathoetiology of fluoroquinolone toxicity on tendon, cartilage, bone, and muscle; and offer recommendations regarding evaluation and treatment of fluoroquinolone-associated musculoskeletal complications. In addition, this review will provide recommendations regarding fluoroquinolone use in athletes and return to play after fluoroquinolone exposure.

Traumatic Vertebral Artery Injury After Subaxial Cervical Spine Injuries: Incidence, Risk Factors, and Long-Term Outcomes: A Population-Based Cohort Study.
Neurosurgery
September 2024
Department of Clinical Neuroscience, Karolinska Institutet, Stockholm, Sweden.
Background And Objectives: Vertebral artery injury (VAI) because of traumatic subaxial cervical spine injury is a rare but potentially devastating condition as it could lead to stroke. The aim of this study was to examine the incidence, risk factors, outcomes, and radiographic predictors of VAI in patients surgically treated for subaxial cervical spine injuries at a tertiary care trauma center.
Methods: This is a retrospective population-based cohort study, including all patients surgically treated for traumatic subaxial cervical spine injuries at the study center between 2006 and 2018.
Bone Marrow Adipocytes as Novel Regulators of Metabolic Homeostasis: Clinical Consequences of Bone Marrow Adiposity.
Curr Obes Rep
January 2025
Maine Medical Center Research Institute, Maine Medical Center, 81 Research Drive, Scarborough, ME, 04074, USA.
Purpose Of Review: Bone marrow adipose tissue is a distinctive fat depot located within the skeleton, with the potential to influence both local and systemic metabolic processes. Although significant strides have been made in understanding bone marrow adipose tissue over the past decade, many questions remain regarding their precise lineage and functional roles.
Recent Findings: Recent studies have highlighted bone marrow adipose tissue's involvement in continuous cross-talk with other organs and systems, exerting both endocrine and paracrine functions that play a crucial role in metabolic homeostasis, skeletal remodeling, hematopoiesis, and the progression of bone metastases.
A mouse coccygeal intervertebral disc degeneration model with tail-looping constructed using a suturing method.
Animal Model Exp Med
January 2025
Department of Orthopaedic Surgery, The 909th Hospital, School of Medicine, Xiamen University, Zhangzhou, China.
Backgroud: Intervertebral disc degeneration (IDD) is one of the common degenerative diseases. Due to ethical constraints, it is difficult to obtain sufficient research on humans, so the use of an animal model of IDD is very important to clarify the pathogenesis and treatment mechanism of the disease.
Methods: In this study, thirty 2-month-old mice were selected for operation to establish a coccygeal IDD model.
Current perspectives on the rehabilitation of COPD patients with comorbidities.

Introduction: Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is frequently accompanied by a variety of comorbidities, complicating management and rehabilitation efforts. Understanding this interplay is crucial for optimizing patient outcomes.
Areas Covered: This review, based on the MEDLINE, Embase and Cochrane Library databases, summarizes the main research on the rehabilitation of patients with COPD, with an emphasis on relevant comorbidities, such as cardiovascular diseases, pulmonary hypertension, lung cancer, metabolic, musculoskeletal, and gastrointestinal disorders.

Introduction Achilles tendon rupture (ATR) represents a significant musculoskeletal injury that can affect many patients' mobility and quality of life. Treatment of ATR consists of both conservative and surgical options, with the traditional belief being that surgical intervention reduces the risk of re-rupture. However, with the introduction of physiotherapy-led functional rehabilitation strategies with early mobilization, it has been shown that re-rupture rates are equal among surgical and non-surgical patients.
