The combination of simultaneous rupture of a tibialis anterior tendon and Charcot neuroarthropathy of the midfoot in a diabetic patient is a rare and challenging condition that can lead to major complications if not addressed appropriately. This article discusses a tibialis anterior tendon rupture that may have developed before or after the incidence of the diabetic Charcot neuroarthropathy midfoot deformity and raises awareness to potential spontaneous tendon ruptures that may be associated with the diabetic Charcot foot.

Effect of subanesthetic dose of esketamine on early postoperative depression in elderly patients with Sarcopenia.
J Orthop Surg Res
December 2024
Graduate School, Bengbu Medical University, Bengbu, 233030, Anhui, China.
Objective: To explore the effects of subanesthetic dose of esketamine on serum inflammatory factor levels and depressive mood in elderly patients with sarcopenia postoperatively.
Methods: This study retrospectively included 102 elderly patients who underwent elective total knee arthroplasty from April 2023 to June 2024 with skeletal muscle mass index (SMI) meeting the diagnostic criteria for sarcopenia (male SMI < 42.6 cm/m, female SMI < 30.
Association between quantitative CT body composition analysis and prognosis in cetuximab-based first-line treatment for advanced colorectal cancer patients.

Background: The objective of this study is to investigate the potential association between change in body composition before and after cetuximab-based therapy and the prognostic outcomes among individuals diagnosed with advanced colorectal cancer.
Methods: A retrospective analysis was undertaken on a cohort of 81 patients diagnosed with RAS wild-type (WT) metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC) who were treated with cetuximab-based first-line therapy. To assess relevant body composition parameters, quantitative computed tomography (QCT) scans were conducted both before and after cetuximab treatment.
Genetic characterization of diagnostic epitopes of cardiac troponin I in African rhinoceros.
J Vet Diagn Invest

Department of Companion Animal Clinical Studies, Faculty of Veterinary Science, University of Pretoria, Pretoria, Onderstepoort, South Africa.
African rhinoceros undergo chemical immobilization and prolonged transport during translocations for conservation purposes and, hence, experience several pathophysiologic changes, including skeletal muscle injury. Potential concurrent myocardial injury has not been investigated due to a lack of validated immunoassays. We aimed to use inferred cardiac troponin I (cTnI) amino acid sequences of southern white () and southern-central black () rhinoceros to assess the potential usefulness of several commercial cTnI immunoassays for detecting cTnI in African rhinoceros.

Background & Aims: Surgery combined with chemotherapy remains the mainstay of treatment for advanced epithelial ovarian cancer. It is important to evaluate the occurrence of postoperative complications before operation and to prevent them. The purpose of this study is to investigate the role of sarcopenia diagnosed by CT scans in predicting postoperative complications in patients with ovarian cancer.

Objective: Metabolic syndrome (MetS) and sarcopenia together pose significant health risks, increasing frailty, falls, and fractures in older adults. This study compared muscle mass measurements obtained using two different dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) machines and bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA), and evaluated the accuracy of these measurements in these older adults.
Methods: In this prospective multicenter cohort study, patients aged ≥ 65 years with MetS had their muscle mass assessed using both BIA and DXA.
