Gluteal compartment syndrome is a rather rare syndrome often leading to severe sequelae, sepsis, renal failure, and even death due to delayed diagnosis. Establishing early diagnosis is essential to prevent complications associated with ischemia. In this article, we report a 56-year-old male patient who developed gluteal compartment syndrome after incisional hernia and nephrectomy surgery in lateral decubitus position. Gluteal muscle insufficiency developing after fasciotomy and Trendelenburg gait improved within two years.

The aim of this systematic review and meta-analysis was to evaluate and compare the effectiveness of surgical fasciotomy and conservative management for chronic exertional compartment syndrome (CECS) concerning symptom relief, functional recovery, and patient satisfaction. A comprehensive search of PubMed, Scopus, Google Scholar, and Cochrane Library identified studies comparing surgical fasciotomy with conservative management for CECS. Four studies met the inclusion criteria, comprising both retrospective and prospective cohort designs.

Background: Medial tibial stress syndrome (MTSS) is a common overuse injury characterized by activity-induced pain along the distal medial tibial border. Current best practice includes rest and progressive resistance training. However, some patients with MTSS may be unable to tolerate the loading during exercise.

The present study explores the conformational dynamics of the membrane protein of Middle East Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus (MERS-CoV) within the Endoplasmic Reticulum-Golgi Intermediate Compartment (ERGIC) complex using an all-atomistic molecular dynamics simulation approach. Significant structural changes were observed in the N-terminal, C-terminal, transmembrane, and beta-sheet sandwich domains of the MERS-CoV membrane protein. This study also highlights the structural similarities between the MERS-CoV and the SARS-CoV-2 membrane proteins, particularly in how both exhibit a distinct kink in the transmembrane helix caused by aromatic residue-lipid interactions.
