A previously healthy 15-year-old female developed sudden onset right lower extremity swelling, pain, and erythematous linear streaking from the ankle to mid-thigh. Duplex venous ultrasound revealed multiple superficial and deep venous thrombi in the right lower extremity. Incidentally, the patient was also noted to have elevated transaminases and a microcytic anemia with significant iron deficiency. Additional evaluation ultimately led to the diagnosis of 2 distinct but interconnected chronic conditions, one of which progressed to requiring liver transplantation.

Introduction: This study aimed to assess the midterm efficacy and symptoms of sclerosing foam combined with endovenous laser ablation in treating lower-extremity varicose veins.
Methods: This study analyzed 838 patients (985 limbs) with varicose veins in one or both lower extremities, treated at our center from September 2020 to June 2022. All patients underwent sclerosing foam combined with endovenous laser ablation.
Isolated Fibula Fracture With Development of Acute Compartment Syndrome.
J Am Acad Orthop Surg Glob Res Rev
March 2025
From the Department of Orthopaedic Surgery, Boston Medical Center Pl, Boston, MA.
Compartment syndrome is an orthopaedic emergency with moderate-to-severe sequela (pain, muscle contracture, nerve damage, infection, rhabdomyolysis, renal failure, etc.) if inadequately treated and can be difficult to diagnose in a timely fashion. Further complicating timely diagnosis are atypical presentations resulting in compartment syndrome.

From the Orthopaedic Trauma Service (Ricketts, Sajid, Flanagan, Stang, Maxson, Infante, Shah, and Mir), Florida Orthopaedic Institute, and the Department of Orthopaedics (McCaskey, Maseda, Diaz, and Mir), University of South Florida, Tampa, FL.
Introduction: To report the incidence of lower leg fasciotomies in tibial shaft and plateau fractures and explore the incidence of potential missed acute compartment syndrome (ACS) with widespread, selective, or no invasive monitoring (IM).
Methods: This is a retrospective review of adult patients with diaphyseal tibial fractures (Orthopaedic Trauma Association 42A-C), and proximal tibial fractures (Orthopaedic Trauma Association 41A-C) treated surgically at a Level 1 trauma center from 2001 to 2020. Main outcomes of interest include lower extremity fasciotomy rates and incidence of potential missed ACS (abnormal neurovascular examination, sensory changes, chronic pain, claw toes, or amputation) in diaphyseal and proximal tibial fractures at three time intervals: widespread use of IM (w-IM) (2000 to 2010), selective IM (s-IM) (2011 to 2015), and clinical examination with a high index of suspicion alone without IM (CES), 2016 to 2020.
Effects of mental fatigue on isometric mid-thigh pull performance and muscle activities.

Center for Rehabilitation Research, Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center, Lubbock, Texas, United States of America.
This study investigated the effects of mental fatigue on rate of force development (RFD) and peak force during an isometric mid-thigh pull (IMTP), as well as its impact on muscle activation measured by electromyography (EMG) median frequency. Sixteen healthy, resistance-trained males completed two sessions: a control condition and a mentally fatigued state induced by a 30-minute modified Stroop task. IMTP performance and muscle activation were assessed before and after the mental fatigue task.
