CDC Wants Doctors To Look Out For Mystery Illness In Kids That May Be Linked To Coronavirus
(CNN) — The US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention is preparing to release an alert warning doctors to be on the lookout for a dangerous inflammatory syndrome in children that could be linked to coronavirus infection, a CDC spokesman told CNN Tuesday.
The syndrome, marked by persistent fever, inflammation, poor function in one or more organs, and other symptoms similar to shock, was first reported by New York officials.
More states began reporting diagnoses of the syndrome this week.
An informal panel of pediatricians organized by Boston Children’s Hospital have dubbed the mysterious illness “Pedia...

Proximal Hamstring Injuries
Proximal hamstring injuries can present as chronic tendinosis, acute strain, partial tendinous avulsions, or complete 3-tendon rupture. Nonoperative management for chronic insertional tendinosis and low-grade tears includes activity modification, anti-inflammatories, and physical therapy. Platelet-rich plasma injections, corticosteroid injections, dry needling, and shock wave therapy are newer therapies that also may provide benefit. Surgical indications include complete, proximal avulsions; partial avulsions with least 2 tendons injured with more than 2 cm of retraction in young, active patients; and partial avulsion inju...

Sport-Related Concussion Preceding Adrenal Insufficiency and Hypopituitarism
A 49-year-old woman with a history of daily inhaled corticosteroid use for asthma presented to a concussion clinic 7 wk after sport-related head injury with headache, visual blurring, dizziness, nausea, fatigue, polydipsia, and polyuria. Examination revealed difficulty with vestibulo-occulomotor testing due to nausea and visual straining. Cranial CT/MR imaging was unremarkable. Laboratory testing revealed critically low serum cortisol, hypernatremia, and urine studies suggesting diabetes insipidus. The patient was referred to the emergency department. Intravenous fluid resuscitation, corticosteroids, and desmopressin led t...

Procedural Approach to Ultrasound-Guided Geniculate Nerve Blockade for Knee Pain in Patients with OA
Ultrasound-guided genicular nerve block can provide excellent pain control for patients with knee OA. This procedure has the advantage of providing sensory blockade with concomitant sparing of motor compromise, which is observed when the femoral and its lateral femoral cutaneous branches are blocked. Once the geniculate nerve of interest is identified, the operator can use ultrasound guidance to surround nerve fascicles with an injectate mixture of anesthetic and corticosteroid, yielding decreased pain sensation at the joint capsule. Given the role of the geniculate nerve in providing sensory innervation to the joint capsu...

Comparison of the Effect of Ultrasound-Guided Injection of Botulinum Toxin Type A and Corticosteroid in the Treatment of Chronic Plantar Fasciitis: A Randomized Controlled Trial
Conclusions
Both ultrasound-guided botulinum toxin type A and corticosteroid injection were effective in the treatment of plantar fasciitis. Our study showed that the effects of botulinum toxin type A injection last longer than those of steroid injection.

Atraumatic Sternoclavicular Joint Instability
Sternoclavicular joint instability is a rare complaint in the orthopedic clinic, but patients can experience chronic pain and functional impacts. Causes of instability may be posttraumatic, infectious, autoimmune, degenerative, or secondary to generalized laxity. Conservative treatment is the initial approach to management and involves activity modification, physical therapy, oral nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, and corticosteroid injections. Surgery is indicated when conservative treatment does not manage symptoms. Figure-of-eight reconstruction techniques provide greatest biomechanical strength but are associated w...

Sports Doctors May Accidentally Prescribe Banned Steroids
(Reuters Health)—Sports physicians routinely prescribe corticosteroids to athletes for conditions, such as inflammation, asthma and allergies, but not all of them know which forms of these drugs are banned under anti-doping rules, a study suggests. The survey of 603 physicians from 30 countries found four in five prescribe oral corticosteroids to athletes, one of the... [Read More]

Scientists Put Shamanic Medicine Under The Microscope
Ten years ago, Mark Pischea, then a 42-year-old political consultant and father of five from Williamston, Michigan, was rushed to the hospital with severe stomach pain. Pischea was diagnosed with Crohn's disease, a chronic autoimmune condition that can cause extreme abdominal discomfort, weight loss, fatigue and fevers. For the next decade of his life, the formerly healthy husband and father lived in a constant cycle of flare-ups, surgery and recovery. After his fifth surgery, Pischea was bedridden for six weeks. At that point, he was told his only remaining options were a sixth surgery or the removal o...

Network Medicine in the Age of Biomedical Big Data
Conclusion and Future Directions
Above we reviewed a limited set of network medicine philosophies that seek to integrate biomedical big data to uncover meaningful biology. Network medicine approaches provide customized and optimized ways to leverage biomedical data. The choice of the appropriate network method is largely dictated by the underlying biological inquiry, hypotheses, study design, and available data. Although this review is not meant to be exhaustive, our intent was to give a essence of how biomedical data requires a nuanced approach when selecting network analyses and provide a resource for both network scien...
