Chronic exertional compartment syndrome of the forearm is a rare disease characterized by the recurrent onset of forearm pain and progressive weakness during exertion. Over the years many surgical techniques have been reported in literature: wide-open fasciotomy, mini-open fasciotomy, fasciotomy associated with fasciectomy, and mini-invasive endoscopic fasciotomy. Compared with traditional open techniques, mini-invasive techniques are characterized by minimal tissue trauma, less postoperative pain, faster recovery to normal activity and better esthetical result. We describe a mini-invasive endoscopic technique for the treatment of forearm chronic exertional compartment syndrome using the SmartRelease endoscopic tissue release system (MicroAire).

Long COVID and Myalgic Encephalomyelitis/Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (ME/CFS) patients share similar symptoms including post-exertional malaise, neurocognitive impairment, and memory loss. The neurocognitive impairment in both conditions might be linked to alterations in the hippocampal subfields. Therefore, this study compared alterations in hippocampal subfields of 17 long COVID, 29 ME/CFS patients, and 15 healthy controls (HC).

Hypereosinophilic syndrome (HES) is traditionally described as chronic peripheral eosinophilia with involvement of various organs and systems, including the heart and nervous system. In this report, we describe cardiac involvement and border zone stroke in a patient with idiopathic HES. A 37-year-old woman presented with sudden right-sided weakness and slurred speech, which began four days before admission, accompanied by palpitations, retrosternal exertional chest discomfort, dry cough, and progressive shortness of breath over approximately two months.
