Abstract

The letter published in the Gerontology journal discusses the use of temporal muscle thickness (TMT) and area (TMA) as markers for measuring skeletal muscle mass (SMM) and the limitations of this approach in diagnosing sarcopenia. The authors suggest that measuring the quadriceps muscle with ultrasound may offer greater diagnostic value for sarcopenia and recommend the adoption of the ISarcoPRM diagnostic algorithm. They also propose using ultrasound as an alternative to magnetic resonance imaging or computed tomography for assessing low SMM in patients with cerebrovascular disease. Additionally, the authors caution against relying on TMT and TMA measurements for estimating SMM due to their low to moderate correlation with SMM. [Extracted from the article]

30. Cubital tunnel syndrome and stroke coincide – adding insult to injury.

Author

Subjects
*CUBITAL tunnel syndrome, *ISCHEMIC stroke, *PHYSICAL medicine, *PHYSICIANS, *MEDICAL rehabilitation, *ULNAR nerve
Abstract

This article discusses a case of a 41-year-old male who presented with right hand weakness and numbness after experiencing an ischemic stroke. Initially, his symptoms were attributed to the stroke, but further examination revealed that he had cubital tunnel syndrome, characterized by an enlarged ulnar nerve and muscle weakness in the hand. The patient was provided with an elbow splint for treatment. The article emphasizes the importance of considering peripheral neuropathies as a potential cause of symptoms in stroke patients.

Abstract

The article presents a case study of a 47-year-old man who developed Parsonage-Turner Syndrome (PTS) following needle electromyography (EMG), with symptoms including severe pain, muscle weakness (4/5) in the right triceps, and hypoesthesia in the 2nd and 3rd fingers. It discusses imaging findings and proposes immune-mediated inflammation as a likely cause, emphasizing prompt diagnosis and management.

37. Two-step Ultrasound Guidance for Needle Electromyography and Botulinum Toxin Injections in Cervical Dystonia.

Author

Abstract

This article discusses the use of two-step ultrasound guidance for needle electromyography (EMG) and botulinum toxin injections in the treatment of cervical dystonia. The case study involves a 46-year-old female patient with severe cervical pain and spasms following a fall. The patient underwent needle EMG under ultrasound guidance to identify the affected muscles, and subsequently received botulinum toxin injections targeted at the innervation zones of the dystonic muscles. The patient reported significant pain relief and decreased spasms the day after the injections. The article emphasizes the importance of precise injections and the use of ultrasound guidance for both diagnostic and therapeutic purposes in cervical dystonia treatment.

Abstract

Background. Peer victimization (bullying) is a universal phenomenon with detrimental effects. The aim of this study is to determine the prevalence and factors of bullying among grades 7 and 8 middle school students in Kuwait. Methods. The study is a cross-sectional study that includes a sample of 989 7th and 8th grade middle school students randomly selected from schools. The Revised Olweus Bully/Victim Questionnaire was used to measure different forms of bullying. After adjusting for confounding, logistic regression identified the significant associated factors related to bullying. Results. Prevalence of bullying was 30.2 with 95% CI 27.4 to 33.2% (3.5% bullies, 18.9% victims, 7.8% bully victims). Children with physical disabilities and one or both non-Kuwaiti parents or children with divorced/widowed parents were more prone to be victims. Most victims and bullies were found to be current smokers. Bullies were mostly in the fail/fair final school grade category, whereas victims performed better. The logistic regression showed that male gender (adjusted odds ration = 1.671, p = 0.004), grade 8 student (adjusted odds ratio = 1.650, p = 0.004), and student with physical disabilities (adjusted odds ratio = 1.675, p = 0.003), were independently associated with bullying behavior. Conclusions. There is a need for a school-wide professional intervention program and improvement in the students’ adjustment to school environment to control bullying behavior.
