In brief Rupture of the pectoralis major brief muscle and tendon, which occurs most frequently among weight lifters but has been reported in many sports, can most often be diagnosed based on the history and physical exam. Surgical intervention for complete ruptures has a clear advantage over conservative therapy. Athletes of all levels can be expected to return to near preinjury levels of participation following surgery and a well-constructed, supervised rehabilitation program. This should involve immobilization followed by range- of-motion exercises and strength training of gradually increasing resistance.

CT scan-derived pectoralis muscle parameters are closely associated with COVID-19 outcomes: A systematic review and meta-analysis.
PLoS One
January 2025
Department of Critical Care Medicine, West China Hospital, Sichuan University, Chengdu, China.
Background: The relationships between pectoralis muscle parameters and outcomes in patients with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) remain uncertain.
Methods: We systematically searched PubMed, Embase, Web of Science and the Cochrane Library from 1 January 2019 to 1 May 2024 to identify non-overlapping studies evaluating pectoralis muscle-associated index on chest CT scan with clinical outcome in COVID-19 patients. Random-effects and fixed-effects meta-analyses were performed, and heterogeneity between studies was quantified using the I2 statistic.
A New Anatomical Approach to Male Pectoral Volumization.

Department of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, Acute Surgical Pathology Clinic Hospital General de México, Dr Eduardo Liceaga, Mexico City, Mexico.
Background: In this article, we discuss a new technique of pectoralis major muscle volumization using ultrasound-guided fat grafting, considering a new surgical criterion that allows for larger volumes.
Methods: We present a retrospective observational descriptive study, which included men who underwent body contouring surgery during 2022-2023. As part of the study, measurements were taken before, immediately after, and at 3 months after surgery.
Septic Arthritis of the Sternoclavicular Joint Complicated by Empyema and Bronchopleural Fistula: A Case Report.

Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, Ogaki Municipal Hospital, Ogaki, JPN.
Septic arthritis of the sternoclavicular joint is a rare infectious arthritis in which the risk factors are reported to be such as diabetes, immunosuppression, and intravenous drug use. Due to a lack of prominent symptoms, delayed diagnosis can lead to severe complications such as mediastinitis and empyema. Advanced sternoclavicular septic arthritis can be a hidden etiology masked by severe symptoms.

The aim of this study was to investigate the effects and potential mechanisms of 8-week transcranial direct-current stimulation (tDCS) combined with resistance training (RT) on pull-up performance in male college students. Twenty-five male college students were randomly assigned to either RT combined with anodal tDCS stimulation (RT + tDCS) or RT alone (RT). Participants of both groups engaged in lat pull-down training programs for 8 weeks, with the RT + tDCS group receiving 20 min tDCS before each RT session.
