Guy Who Wanted To Be A Real-Life Hulk Almost Had To Have Arms Amputated
A bodybuilder who wanted to resemble The Incredible Hulk is instead feeling green, after the synthetic muscle injections he used caused myriad health problems and nearly led to the amputation of his arms.
Romario dos Santos Alves, a 25-year-old from Caldas Novas, Brazil, told Barcroft Media he started injecting his muscles with the mixture of oil and alcohol three years ago in an attempt to beef up his physique. But once he started, he found it difficult to stop.
After repeated injections left him sporting 25-inch biceps -- and in the hospital -- Alves says he realized he had to kick the habit for good. Doctors informed ...

Does the rectus femoris nerve block improve knee recurvatum in adult stroke patients? A kinematic and electromyographic study
Highlights: Abstract: Knee recurvatum (KR) during gait is common in hemiplegic patients. Quadriceps spasticity has been postulated as a cause of KR in this population. The aim of this study was to assess the role of rectus femoris spasticity in KR by using selective motor nerve blocks of the rectus femoris nerve in hemiparetic stroke patients. The data from six adult, post-stroke hemiplegic patients who underwent a rectus femoris nerve block for a stiff-knee gait were retrospectively analyzed. An extensive clinical and functional evaluation was performed and gait was assessed by motion analysis (kinematic, kinetic and elec...

Protecting the aged heart during cardiac surgery: Use of del Nido cardioplegia provides superior functional recovery in isolated hearts
Conclusions: Del Nido cardioplegia prevents spontaneous contractions during arrest, reduces troponin release, and results in superior myocardial function in isolated aged hearts. Del Nido cardioplegia has the potential to provide superior myocardial protection for older patients undergoing cardiac surgery.

A cardioprotective preservation strategy employing ex vivo heart perfusion facilitates successful transplant of donor hearts after cardiocirculatory death
Conclusion: In this experimental model of DCD, an EVHP strategy using initial reperfusion with a tepid adenosine-lidocaine cardioplegia and continuous myocardial perfusion minimizes myocardial injury and improves short-term post-transplant function compared with the current EVHP strategy using cold hyperkalemic cardioplegia before organ procurement and transplantation.
