Long-bone diaphyses are central to forensic work given their cortical shafts which endure when other bones degrade. Macro and microstructural features preserve metric, histological, and biomechanical parameters for identification, including stature, sex, and population affinity. Imaging advances, including CT, micro-CT, and 3D model reconstructions as well as the rise of machine-learning models, have even improved precision and enabled analysis of fragmentary remains. Diaphyseal pathology and pathological changes (osteomyelitis, neoplasms, metabolic and hematologic disease) leave cortical signatures further correlating with antemortem records. Trauma to shafts shows diagnostic patterns across blunt, sharp, and ballistic mechanisms, distinguishing perimortem injury from postmortem damage...... ReadMore -

Dance is an art form demanding exceptional physical and psychological performance. Despite growing research on injury risk and prevention, dancers remain highly susceptible to musculoskeletal injuries, particularly in the lower extremities. Traditional screening approaches have emphasized physical risk factors, while the influence of psychological health has been comparatively underexplored...... ReadMore -

Osteoporosis is a major public health issue causing increased morbidity and mortality in individuals globally. Low-intensity pulsed ultrasound is one of the physical therapy modalities that can be used to improve health related outcomes. The aim of this study was to review the current literature around the efficacy of the low-intensity pulsed ultrasound in the treatment of individuals with osteoporosis...... ReadMore -

Lower limb stress fractures (SF) can be challenging for physicians to diagnose due to broad clinical presentation and etiology. Bone scintigraphy (bone scan) has been historically accepted as the gold standard for diagnosing these injuries, but studies appear to show an elevated risk of radiation exposure, necessitating judicious use of this imaging modality. Plain radiography is the most cost-accessible choice for imaging osseus structures, but as this case demonstrates, they do not have a high degree of accuracy for diagnosis SF...... ReadMore -

Lower limb stress fractures (SF) can be challenging for physicians to diagnose due to broad clinical presentation and etiology. Bone scintigraphy (bone scan) has been historically accepted as the gold standard for diagnosing these injuries, but studies appear to show an elevated risk of radiation exposure, necessitating judicious use of this imaging modality. Plain radiography is the most cost-accessible choice for imaging osseus structures, but as this case demonstrates, they do not have a high degree of accuracy for diagnosis SF. Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) is an accurate imaging modality for diagnosing SF, but can carry excessive cost. Musculoskeletal ultrasound (MSK US) imaging is an emerging diagnostic imaging technique that can be used in early detection of SF. This case presents a 67-year-old runner, whose distal tibial metadi..... ReadMore -

Exercise has been emphasized to be a need for all humans. Being physically active has many benefits ranging from minimizing risk factors for diseases, keeping the body strong, anti-depressant, anti-stress and anti- anxiety effect. The exercises are usually in two categories: cardiovascular and resistance...... ReadMore
