The work environment of office workers has hazards. One of the hazards is nonergonomic conditions. Nonergonomic conditions increase musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) risk and interfere with work productivity. This research describes ergonomic risk levels and muscle complaints in office workers while working with computers. The population of this research was 32 office workers in one of Surabaya city government offices. Rapid Office Strain Assessment (ROSA) method to measure ergonomic risk and Cornell Musculoskeletal Discomfort Questionnaires (CMDQ) method to measure muscle complaints. Most workers have a high risk of experiencing MSDs. Workers experience muscle complaints in the neck, right shoulder, left shoulder, upper back, and lower back. Intervention is needed in work facilities and office ergonomics socialization to workers.

As global temperatures rise, heat-related chronic health disorders are predicted to become more prevalent. We tested whether a single exposure to acute heat illness, using a preclinical mouse model of exertional heat stroke (EHS), can induce late-emerging health disorders that progress into chronic disease. Following EHS, mice were followed for 3 months; after two weeks of recovery, half were placed on a Western diet to determine if previous EHS exposure amplifies the negative consequences of an atherogenic diet.

The current one-dimensional view of pathological brain changes in older persons leading to cognitive complaints, mild cognitive impairment, and ultimately dementia is incomplete. It neglects the earliest, non-cognitive, and multifaceted symptoms of gradually accumulating cerebral damage. Subtle personality changes, balance problems, muscle wasting, weight loss, changing sleep patterns and declining blood pressure and cholesterol, precede memory problems and cognitive impairment.

Article Synopsis
- Uterine leiomyomas, although rare in adolescents, can present with symptoms like abnormal bleeding and pelvic pain, with smooth muscle tumors of unknown malignant potential (STUMP) being even rarer.
- In a hospital case study, three 19-year-old patients presented with significant symptoms, leading to the identification of varying sizes of uterine myomas; one was diagnosed as a STUMP tumor while the others were benign fibroids.
- Despite their rarity, it is important for healthcare providers to consider uterine myomas and STUMP tumors as potential diagnoses in young patients experiencing pelvic symptoms.
Integrated Lung, Diaphragm and Lower Limb Muscular Ultrasound: Clinical Correlations in Geriatric Patients with Acute Respiratory Illness.

: Point-of-care lung ultrasonography (LUS) represents an accurate diagnostic tool in older patients with respiratory failure. The integration of LUS with ultrasonographic assessment of diaphragm thickness and excursion, right vastus lateralis (RVL) muscle thickness and cross-sectional area (CSA) could provide real-time information on frailty and sarcopenia. The primary aim of this proof-of-concept prospective study was to evaluate clinical correlates of thoracic, diaphragmatic, and muscular ultrasound to characterize the associations between frailty, respiratory failure, and sarcopenia in older patients hospitalized for acute respiratory complaints.

A 19-year-old male patient with phenylketonuria (PKU) was presented to our clinic with complaints of left hip pain and fever for one week. Physical examination and MRI examination showed findings compatible with pyogenic sacroiliitis and an abscess in the left iliopsoas muscle. The patient's clinical and radiological findings improved markedly with empirical antibiotic treatment.
