This section is dedicated to the comprehensive evaluation of the overhead throwing athlete's elbow. The elbow provides a unique diagnostic dilemma that requires extensive knowledge and appreciation of elbow anatomy and kinematics, given the extreme forces seen across the elbow during the overhead throwing motion, the superficial nature of the majority of anatomic structures, and the complex interplay among bony, ligamentous, musculotendinous, and neurologic structures. The physical examination of the ulnar collateral ligament, valgus extension overload syndrome, medial and lateral epicondylitis, posterolateral rotatory instability, tendon ruptures, and compressive neuropathies will be covered.

Background: Hypertension is a major global health issue and a significant modifiable risk factor for cardiovascular diseases, contributing to a substantial socioeconomic burden due to its high prevalence. In China, particularly among populations living near desert regions, hypertension is even more prevalent due to unique environmental and lifestyle conditions, exacerbating the disease burden in these areas, underscoring the urgent need for effective early detection and intervention strategies.
Objective: This study aims to develop, calibrate, and prospectively validate a 2-year hypertension risk prediction model by using large-scale health examination data collected from populations residing in 4 regions surrounding the Taklamakan Desert of northwest China.
