Background: although peripheral intravenous catheter (PIV) infiltration is a frequent hospital occurrence, muscle rupture is a previously unknown complication of line infiltration. We present the case of a 21-year-old male with a history of cystic fibrosis, bilateral lung transplant, and chronic corticosteroid use, with longitudinal tear of the biceps brachii muscle as a complication of PIV infiltration.
Methods: case report describing a unique case of a longitudinal tear of the biceps brachii.
Results: magnetic resonance imaging revealed longitudinal tear of the biceps brachii with sparing of the proximal and distal tendons. Nerve conduction studies and electromyography revealed bicipital denervation, most likely due to mechanical compression.
Conclusion: we hypothesize that the patient's chronic corticosteroid use predisposed him to muscle injury, as did basilic vein thrombosis caused by PIV infiltration, and this combination of factors led to bicipital rupture. To our knowledge, this is also the first case report to document longitudinal tear of the biceps brachii with sparing of the distal and proximal tendinous insertions of the muscle.

YOLO-STOD: an industrial conveyor belt tear detection model based on Yolov5 algorithm.
Sci Rep

School of Mechanical Engineering, Xinjiang University, Urumqi, 830000, China.
Real-time detection of conveyor belt tearing is of great significance to ensure mining in the coal industry. The longitudinal tear damage problem of conveyor belts has the characteristics of multi-scale, abundant small targets, and complex interference sources. Therefore, in order to improve the performance of small-size tear damage detection algorithms under complex interference, a visual detection method YOLO-STOD based on deep learning was proposed.

Introduction: Rotator cuff (RC) tears are the most common and disabling musculoskeletal ailments among patients with shoulder pain. Although most individuals show improvement in function and pain following arthroscopic rotator cuff repair (ARCR), a subgroup of patients continue to suffer from persistent shoulder pain following the surgical procedure. Identifying these factors is important in planning preoperative management to improve patient outcomes.

Carer strain in post-stroke emotionalism: a cross-sectional analysis.
BMJ Open
December 2024
Leeds Institute of Health Sciences, University of Leeds, Leeds, UK.
Objectives: Post-stroke emotionalism (PSE) is a common, under-researched neurologic symptom of stroke, characterised by frequent crying episodes not under usual social control. Currently, there are no data on carer strain in the context of emotionalism after stroke. We aimed to explore the degree of carer strain in carers of individuals with diagnosed PSE compared with carers of individuals with stroke but no PSE to examine whether carer strain varies with particular characteristics of the cared for individual (patient age, sex, social deprivation, stroke type, functional status, mood status) and to quantify the impact of PSE on carer strain, after accounting for other factors.
