Acute hypoalgesic and neurophysiological responses to lower-limb ischaemic preconditioning.
Exp Brain Res

The aim of this study was to assess if ischaemic preconditioning (IPC) can reduce pain perception and enhance corticospinal excitability during voluntary contractions. In a randomised, within-subject design, healthy participants took part in three experimental visits after a familiarisation session. Measures of pressure pain threshold (PPT), maximum voluntary isometric force, voluntary activation, resting twitch force, corticospinal excitability and corticospinal inhibition were performed before and ≥10 min after either, unilateral IPC on the right leg (3 × 5 min); a sham protocol (3 × 1 min); or a control (no occlusion).

Introduction: This study compared the masses and amounts of intramuscular non-contractile tissue of multiple lower extremity muscles measured using an ultrasound imaging device, as well as the mobility and balance ability and cognitive function between community-dwelling older adults with and without low back pain (LBP).
Methods: Twenty-five community-dwelling older adults were classified into control (CTR) (n = 17, asymptomatic) and LBP (n = 8) groups. The current LBP status in the LBP group was as follows: duration period: 99.
Exploring quadriceps activity variations in women: the role of seated posture during stair climbing.

Major of Marine Sports, Division of Smart Healthcare, Pukyong National University, Busan, Republic of South Korea.
Background: Adults in modern society spend most of their time in a sitting position. However, sitting for long periods of time can affect the length and sensation of the quadriceps muscle and negatively affect the performance of functional tasks required in daily life. In addition, it may have different characteristics according to sitting postures.

Article Synopsis
- The study compares the pain and fear levels associated with intramuscular injections in children aged 4 to 6 years at two different injection sites: the vastus lateralis and the ventrogluteal.
- A randomized trial design involved 43 children receiving injections at the ventrogluteal site and 40 at the vastus lateralis site, measuring fear and pain through specific scales and the duration of crying during the procedure.
- Results indicated that children injected in the ventrogluteal site experienced significantly less fear, pain, and crying time compared to those who received injections in the vastus lateralis site.
Post-streptococcal myositis - ultrasound features of an under-recognised disorder: a case report.

Article Synopsis
- Post-streptococcal myalgia and myositis are rare complications associated with streptococcal infections, and there is limited data available about them, especially in terms of clinical imaging.* -
- A case study of a 31-year-old woman revealed significant muscle pain and changes in her thigh after a streptococcal throat infection and was diagnosed with post-streptococcal myositis through various lab tests and imaging techniques.* -
- This case marks the first report of ultrasound findings in this condition, suggesting that muscle ultrasound can be an effective tool for diagnosing post-streptococcal myalgia and myositis.*
