The long jump is an athletic event that demands speed, power, force application, and balance, with each phase being critical to overall performance. However, previous research has neglected the limiting effect of the wedge pedals on ankle dorsiflexion range of motion. This cross-sectional study investigated biomechanical changes in the lower extremities during long jumps under varying degrees of ankle dorsiflexion.

Introduction: Gouty arthritis is a common inflammatory condition caused by the deposition of uric acid crystals in the joints, leading to intense pain, swelling, and functional impairment. Thermal therapies, including hot and cold fomentation, are often used as adjunctive treatments for managing inflammation and pain in various musculoskeletal conditions. However, the efficacy of these therapies in acute gout remains underexplored.

Thoracic surgery is associated with significant postoperative pain, which can hinder recovery and elevate morbidity risks. Traditionally, epidural anesthesia has been the cornerstone for pain management, but its drawbacks including technical challenges, side effects, and complications necessitate exploring alternative methods. This narrative review examined recent advances in perioperative analgesic strategies in thoracic surgery, focusing on regional anesthetic techniques like paravertebral blocks (PVBs), erector spinae plane blocks (ESPBs), intercostal blocks, and serratus anterior blocks.

Immunosuppression is one key feature of mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) that has high expectations for therapeutic use. The influence of pro-inflammatory stimuli can modify the characteristics of MSCs and enhance immunosuppressive properties. The local postoperative environment contains cytokines, MSCs, and immune cells in high quantities, and their mutual influence is still unclear.

: Long-term work-related musculoskeletal disorders are predominantly influenced by factors such as the duration, intensity, and repetitive nature of load lifting. Although traditional ergonomic assessment tools can be effective, they are often challenging and complex to apply due to the absence of a streamlined, standardized framework. Recently, integrating wearable sensors with artificial intelligence has emerged as a promising approach to effectively monitor and mitigate biomechanical risks.
