One thousand one hundred ninety-two subjects who had the bone mineral content (BMC) of their forearm measured during the period spanning 1970-1976 were followed to 1985. At that time, 489 had died. Those who died had a lower BMC of the forearm at the time of the measurement than did the survivors. However, the difference was significant only in men aged 50-69 years. In men, deviation below normal BMC was an indicator of a shorter than average life expectancy, whereas above average values were not important in this respect.

Background: Limitations in forearm rotation resulting from distal radius fracture are often neglected in clinical practice. We aimed to explore possible influencing factors of forearm rotation limitation following conservative treatment of these fractures.
Methods: A series of patients with distal radius fractures who underwent conservative treatment in the Third Hospital of Hebei Medical University were retrospectively enrolled.

Background: Hydatid cysts are caused by the larval stage of the tapeworm parasite Echinococcus granulosus, leading to a rare but significant zoonotic infection. This disease is primarily observed in regions with prevalent agricultural and livestock practices. While the liver, lungs, and brain are most affected, spinal involvement is notably rare.

Article Synopsis
- Carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) is a common condition that arises from nerve compression, and accurately grading its severity is crucial for treatment decisions.
- This study examined 50 patients experiencing CTS, analyzing their electrodiagnostic results and using ultrasound to measure the cross-sectional area of the median nerve at the wrist.
- The results indicated a significant correlation between the severity of CTS and the findings from both ultrasound and electrodiagnosis, showing that the mean measurements increase as the severity of the condition worsens.
