Traumatic subcutaneous emphysema of the hand/forearm: A case report
Chin J Traumatol. 2022 Apr 4:S1008-1275(22)00038-4. doi: 10.1016/j.cjtee.2022.04.001. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTSubcutaneous emphysema is commonly associated with infection caused by gas-producing organisms. In this case report, we describe a rare instance of traumatic subcutaneous emphysema of the hand and forearm caused by a puncture injury to the first web space of the hand. Our objective is to increase awareness of the potential for seemingly minor trauma to cause entrapment of significant air in subcutaneous tissues, thereby decreasing the likelihood that a clinically benign-appearing patient will be started down ...

What Do We Know About Shoulder Injury Related to Vaccine Administration? An Updated Systematic Review
CONCLUSION: The association between inflammatory conditions of the shoulder (such as bursitis) and vaccination appears to be exceedingly rare, occurring after approximately 1:130,000 vaccination events according to the best-available comparative study. Currently, there is no confirmatory experimental evidence supporting the theory of an immune-mediated inflammatory response to vaccine antigens. Although the clinical evidence is limited, similar to any bursitis, typical treatments appear effective, and surgery should rarely be performed. Additional research is needed to determine the best injection technique or evaluate alt...

Researchers Are Getting Closer to Understanding Long COVID. But Treatments Are Likely Still a Ways Off
Two years into the COVID-19 pandemic, questions about Long COVID still outnumber answers. Why do some people develop long-lasting symptoms—often after a mild case of COVID-19, sometimes even after being vaccinated—while others fully recover from their brushes with the SARS-CoV-2 virus? Why does Long COVID seem to disproportionately appear in women? How can one condition affect numerous bodily systems, causing symptoms ranging from brain fog to joint pain to total exhaustion? Is Long COVID a single diagnosis, or is it better understood as an umbrella term for a spectrum of disease, caused by a range of biologica...

Shoulder Injury Related to Vaccine Administration (SIRVA): Petitioner claims to the National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program, 2010-2016.
CONCLUSIONS: Most conceded claims for SIRVA were in women and involved influenza vaccines. Injection too high on the arm could be a factor due to the risk of injecting into underlying non-muscular tissues. Healthcare providers should be aware of proper injection technique and anatomical landmarks when administering vaccines. PMID: 31771864 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
