Objective: The aim of the work described here was to investigate the feasibility of using multimodality ultrasound in quantitative evaluation of the intra-compartmental pressure (ICP) and perfusion pressure (PP) changes in acute compartment syndrome (ACS).
Methods: Infusion technique was used to increase the ICP of the anterior compartment of 10 rabbits from baseline to 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70 and 80 mmHg. The anterior compartment was evaluated with conventional ultrasound, shear wave elastography (SWE) and contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS). The shape of the anterior compartment, shear wave velocity (SWV) of the tibialis anterior (TA) muscle and CEUS parameters of the TA muscle were measured.
Results: When the ICP exceeded 30 mmHg, the shape of the anterior compartment did not expand significantly with increasing ICP. There was a strong correlation between the SWV of TA muscle and measured ICP (ρ = 0.927). Arrival time (AT), time to peak (TTP), peak intensity (PI) and area under the curve (AUC) were significantly correlated with PP (AT, ρ = -0.763; TTP, ρ = -0.900; PI, ρ = 0.665; AUC, ρ = 0.706), whereas mean transit time (MTT) was not.
Conclusion: Multimodality ultrasound can be used to quantitatively evaluate ICP and PP and, thus, could provide more information for the rapid diagnosis and monitoring of ACS.

Article Synopsis
- Motor symptom laterality in Parkinson's Disease (PD) impacts both motor and nonmotor symptoms, potentially altering patient prognosis, with compensatory mechanisms in the brain's dominant hemisphere playing a key role.
- This study investigated the microstructural changes in the corpus callosum (CC), the brain's main connector between hemispheres, in 201 right-handed PD patients (split between left- and right-onset) compared to 100 healthy controls using advanced imaging techniques.
- Findings revealed reduced free water and fractional anisotropy, along with increased mean diffusivity in the CC of patients with left-side PD onset, highlighting the relationship between brain structure and disease symptoms.
Introduction: GNE-myopathy is a distal myopathy with adult-onset and initial involvement of anterior leg compartment. A founder effect has been demonstrated for some patients from several large cohorts in different countries.
Methods: In this study, we investigated the allele frequency of the c.

Background: For complete disruption of the posterolateral corner (PLC) structures, operative treatment is most commonly advocated, as nonoperative treatment has higher rates of persistent lateral laxity and posttraumatic arthritis. Some studies have shown that acute direct repair results in revision rates upwards of 37% to 40% compared with 6% to 9% for initial reconstruction. In a recent study assessing the outcomes of acute repair of PLC avulsion injuries with 2 to 7 years of follow-up, patients with adequate tissue were shown to have a much lower failure rate than previously documented.

Runners frequently suffer from medial tibial stress syndrome (MTSS), often linked to excessive eccentric muscle contractions causing periosteal traction by the muscles in the deep posterior compartment. However, the effects of MTSS on these muscles and tendons remain underexplored. This study is aimed at investigating changes in muscle and tendon volumes in this compartment, as well as cross-sectional area measurements, using magnetic resonance imaging.

Importance: Pelvic organ prolapse recurrence following native tissue repair occurs with composite failure rates of 9-19% within 12 months, predominantly involving apical/anterior compartments. Objective The objective of this study was to develop a novel vaginal orthosis (NVO) device prototype through an iterative design process based on investigator and user feedback.
Study Design: The NVO was designed based on pelvic floor biomechanical principles to mitigate unopposed intra-abdominal pressure of the anterior vagina by absorbing and redirecting intra-abdominal forces to the levator ani and tailored to accommodate postoperative vaginal caliber and axis.
