A problem commonly undiagnosed, severe and diffi cult to treat is chronic compartment syndrome in athletes. This pathology in its acute phase requires a diagnosis and treatment early to avoid muscle necrosis and neurological injury. Also, in chronic cases, the diagnosis is mainly clinical and the complete liberation of all compartments of the leg is essential. I review the literature of management of this pathology and two cases with specific treatment are presented. The objective is to provide evidence-based guidance for both chronic and acute treatment of chronic compartment syndrome in athletes to reduce the delay in the diagnosis and implement effective therapeutic measures for the improvement of the athletes and to avoid as much as possible the presentation of complications and sequelae in this group of patients.

Objective: To help the orthopedic surgeon become familiar with this type of injuries in athletes; to mention the difficulty to perform the clinical and imaging diagnosis; to emphasize the diagnostic need of arthroscopy in the injury of the proximal or long tendon; to present the current treatment modalities and, in the distal injury, suggest the use of a single incision, as well as biodegradable material for fixation purposes. Conclusions: The diagnosis of biceps tendon injuries in athletes is mainly a clinical one, assisted by imaging; however, the arthroscopic confirmation of proximal injuries is essential. Current techniques for proximal tendon fixation are variable, but, same as in the distal aspect, early fixation with biodegradable screws is a biomechanically stable option and promotes the athlete's full rehabilitation.

River contamination conditions the presence of microorganisms adapted to different ecosystems, particularly for pathogens important from public health's point of view. Objective: To determine Escherichia coli viability in the presence of silver nitrate, ammonium carbonate, phenol and formaldehyde. Materials and methods: Water samples from Alseseca river were taken, which later were placed in selective culture media for enterobacteriaceae, and Escherichia colonies were selected, which, were then placed in orienting CHROMagar ECC medium. E. coli samples were assessed in the presence of silver nitrate, ammonium carbonate, and formaldehyde. Results: The experimental group showed viability in presence of the four compounds tested, control group showed null viability, and the comparison between the two groups showed a statistically significant difference (p<0,05). Conclusion: E. coli isolates showed viability under the conditions tested, which implies risks for the ecosystem and for health, since Alseseca river goes through Puebla town, where there are important population nuclei.
