Chronic exertional compartment syndrome is well documented in the distal extremities, but is rare in the thighs. We present the case of a 19-year-old male who presented with chronic, recurrent bilateral thigh pain induced by physical activity, which settled with rest but recurred on immediate return to exercise. Postexercise MRI of both thighs demonstrated changes of symmetrical edema in the proximal quadriceps muscles, reflecting exercise-induce compartment syndrome. The patient underwent selective fasciotomies of each anterior thigh with improvement of symptoms. The patient is now doing well, with some residual milder symptoms and appearances on follow-up MR imaging are not as pronounced. This case describes the clinical presentation and imaging appearance of a rare case of chronic compartment syndrome in the quadriceps femoris.

In this manuscript, we present a novel mathematical model for understanding the dynamics of HIV/AIDS and analyzing optimal control strategies. To capture the disease dynamics, we propose a new Caputo-Fabrizio fractional-order mathematical model denoted as SEIEUPIATR, where the exposed class is subdivided into two categories: exposed-identified EI and exposed-unidentified EU individuals. Exposed-identified individuals become aware of the disease within three days, while exposed-unidentified individuals remain unaware for more than three days.

Objective: The key to increasing the success rate of limb preservation lies in timely restoration of the blood supply to the severed limb, This study examines the clinical effect of a disposable intravenous infusion device as a temporary vascular shunt device which can quickly restore blood circulation in the replantation of severed limbs.
Methods: A retrospective review of all amputated major limbs in our department from May 2005 to May 2022. Patients treated with intravenous infusion tubes as temporary vascular shunt devices were included in group A(shunt group ) and those who could not use temporary intravascular shunt devices were included in group B (no shunt group).
Giant Inguino-Scrotal Hernia With Loss of Domain: Surgical Report and Literature Review.

The surgical repair of giant inguinal hernias with loss of domain, defined as the relocation of the majority of the intestine into the hernia sac, poses a significant challenge. In the majority of cases, a combination of different surgical techniques with the placement of multiple meshes is necessary to achieve reduction of such complex hernias. The reduction of chronic giant hernias can increase the risk of abdominal compartment syndrome or cardiopulmonary complications.

Peroneus longus ruptures are less common than ruptures of the peroneus brevis muscle and are seldom described in the literature. Ankle inversion injuries causing injury to the distal end of the peroneus longus muscle resulting in lateral compartment syndrome have been documented in the literature. We are presenting an unusual case of peroneal compartment syndrome with no overt ankle injury.

Compartment syndrome (CS) arises from various etiologies but is most commonly associated with severe traumatic injuries. It is a difficult diagnosis to make in a timely fashion because clinical signs and symptoms are subjective. Missing the diagnosis is a devastating mistake for the patient and the physician.
