In brief: Myositis ossificans-a benign process-is characterized by calcification of a hematoma that resulted from a severe contusion or strain or repeated trauma. Diagnosis is based on radiographic evidence of a calcified mass along with a history of recent trauma to the affected area. Management should be directed at minimizing or preventing extension of the original injury. Rest, ice, compression, and elevation (the classic treatment for any soft-tissue injury) is recommended as initial therapy. Gentle, painless range-of-motion exercises may be prescribed to help restore mobility. Padding can be used to protect the affected area from additional trauma.

Centella asiatica (L.) Urban, one of the authentic medicinal materials from Guizhou Province in China, has been traditionally applied for the treatment of contusions and fractures, as well as for promoting wound healing. Preliminary research suggests that asiaticoside-nitric oxide hydrogel (ACNO) exhibits the potential to enhance the healing of diabetic wounds (DWs); however, the underlying molecular mechanisms require further elucidation.

Brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) and tropomyosin receptor kinase B (TrkB) are known to contribute to both protective and pronociceptive processes. However, their contribution to neuropathic pain after spinal cord injury (SCI) needs further investigation. In a recent study utilizing TrkB mice, it was shown that systemic pharmacogenetic inhibition of TrkB signaling with 1NM-PP1 (1NMP) immediately after SCI delayed the onset of pain hypersensitivity, implicating maladaptive TrkB signaling in pain after SCI.

Article Synopsis
- A 2-year-old girl developed a growing bruise-like mass in her eye socket months after an orbital injury, which was diagnosed through CT imaging as possible soft tissue contusion or hematoma.
- Surgical removal was performed, and lab tests revealed it was an orbital varix, showing CD34+ endothelium.
- This case is unique as it represents the first documented instance of posttraumatic orbital varix formation in children.

Purpose: This study was conducted to identify the group at highest risk for autoimmune inflammation through a comparative analysis among patients with chronic post-traumatic uveitis (CPTU).
Material And Methods: The clinical group included 50 patients (aged 18 to 87 years, mean age 41±2.6 years) with CPTU resulting from penetrating injury, contusion, or intraocular surgery.

Following spinal cord injury (SCI), there is a short-lived recovery phase that ultimately plateaus. Understanding changes within the spinal cord over time may facilitate targeted approaches to prevent and/or reverse this plateau and allow for continued recovery. Untargeted metabolomics revealed distinct metabolic profiles within the injured cord during recovery (7 days postinjury [DPI]) and plateau (21 DPI) periods in a mouse model of severe contusion SCI.
