Atypical Fracture of the Scapular Spine: A Case Report.

Atypical fractures are gaining attention as a severe potential side effect of long-term treatment with bone-modifying agents (e.g., bisphosphonate and denosumab) for osteoporosis.

Classifying patients with lumbar spinal stenosis using painDETECT: a cross-sectional study.

Background: The pathological mechanisms of lumbar spinal stenosis are unclear. Family doctors in the primary care setting may perform medical examinations of patients with lumbar spinal stenosis. Our aim was to use the painDETECT questionnaire to quantify the pathological mechanisms of low back pain and/or leg pain caused by lumbar spinal stenosis.

Remitting seronegative symmetrical synovitis with pitting edema syndrome caused by crystal-induced arthritis of the wrist: a case report.

Objective: To describe a rare case of remitting seronegative symmetrical synovitis with pitting edema (RS3PE) syndrome caused by gouty arthritis.

Clinical Presentation And Intervention: A 76-year-old man presented with swelling and pain in the dorsum of feet and hands bilaterally. From the laboratory and radiologic findings, the diagnosis of gout-induced RS3PE syndrome was made.

Ultrasound-guided bilateral brachial plexus blockade with propofol-ketamine sedation.

We report the use of ultrasound-guided bilateral brachial plexus block in a patient with bilateral radius fractures. An axillary block was performed on the patient's right and a supraclavicular block on her left using an in-plane (long-axis) needle insertion technique. Into each side was injected 20 ml 0.

Pseudogout of the acromioclavicular joint: report of two cases and review of the literature.

Although calcium pyrophosphate dehydrate (CPPD) deposition disease, including pseudogout, is a relatively common disease affecting the major joints, especially the knee, pseudogout in the acromioclavicular (AC) joint is very uncommon. We describe two cases of acute pseudogout attacks of the AC joint in elderly patients. Radiological findings showed chondrocalcinosis in the AC joints.

Chance fracture of the lumbar spine in an amateur snowboarder: a case report.

"Chance fracture" is an unusual type of spinal fracture caused by flexion-distraction of the back. We describe herein a rare case of a male amateur snowboarder who suffered lumbar Chance fracture caused by a fall after freestyle jumping. Radiological findings of plain radiography, computed tomography (CT), and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) showed a loss of vertebral height in the anterior L1 vertebral body with a horizontal splitting fracture extending across the vertebral body, bilateral pedicles, and lamina.

[Comparison of performance of endotracheal intubation by senior residents in anesthesiology using Airway Scope VS Macintosh laryngoscope].

Background: To evaluate the performance of the Airway Scope, we studied the time to complete endotracheal intubation performed by senior residents in anesthesiology.

Methods: The trachea of the patient was intubated using the Airway Scope (n = 90) or the Macintosh laryngoscope (n = 81).

Results: The time to complete endotracheal intubation was 42 +/- 23 sec with the Airway Scope and 41 +/- 20 sec with the Macintosh laryngoscope.
