A clinical case of consistent use of botulinum toxin type A (BTA) and azoximer bovhialuronidase (BA) in a 69-year-old patient who suffered an ischemic stroke (II) with right-sided hemiparesis is presented. BTA (incobotulotoxin) was injected under ultrasound control (ultrasound) into the muscles of the target pathological patterns at a dose of 500 units. After 3 weeks, under the control of ultrasound navigation, BA was injected into the 2 most fibrotic shoulder muscles at a dose of 3.

Current treatment recommendations for hyperkalemic cardiac arrest focus exclusively on the addition of antihyperkalemic therapies and are otherwise identical to those for cardiac arrest caused by non-hyperkalemic etiologies. We were unable to find any studies that specifically examine the hemodynamic effects of cardiopulmonary resuscitation in hyperkalemic cardiac arrest compared to cardiac arrest from non-hyperkalemic etiologies. We hypothesized that myocardial ischemic contracture would be less severe in hyperkalemic cardiac arrest compared with ventricular fibrillation cardiac arrest, resulting in higher cerebral perfusion pressure, brain tissue oxygen tension, and coronary perfusion pressure during cardiopulmonary resuscitation.

Objectives: Brachial artery injury due to displaced supracondylar fracture (SC) of the humerus in children may present with pink pulseless hand (PPH), denoting a well perfused hand without radial pulse, or acute hand ischemia. Some reports state that brachial artery reconstruction is not necessary in children with persisting PPH, but the reports on long-term consequences such as intermittent claudications, growth retardation and ischemic contracture in children with pulseless hand are scarce and often misinterpreted. The objective of our analysis was to assess the long-term outcomes of children with brachial artery injury associated with SC fracture.

Objective: To discuss the elbow skin fold extension line in Kirschner wire internal fixation of extended supracondylar humeral fractures in children.

Methods: The clinical data of 58 children with extended supracondylar fractures of the humerus who met the selection criteria between August 2021 and July 2024 were retrospectively analyzed. In 28 cases, needle placement of medial epicondyle of humerus was performed with the assistance of the elbow skin fold extension line (study group), and 30 cases were assisted by routine touch of the medial epicondyle of the humerus (control group).

Article Synopsis
  • - Volkmann's ischemic contracture involves permanent muscle and nerve damage from insufficient blood flow, leading to flexion contractures, whereas pseudo-Volkmann's contracture shares similar symptoms but can fully recover without ischemic damage.
  • - A case study describes a 39-year-old man who experienced finger extension failure after blunt forearm trauma, showing progressive symptoms over two months despite no broken skin or bones.
  • - Surgical intervention after two years revealed severe muscle adhesions due to the trauma, and immediate recovery was achieved after the adhesions were released, suggesting a diagnosis of pseudo-Volkmann's contracture.
