Summary: This study investigated the effectiveness of combined transversus abdominis plane (TAP) and rectus sheath (RS) blocks in patients undergoing anterior lumbar interbody fusion (ALIF), and the results demonstrated that this combined block can significantly reduce opioid pain medication use, alleviate pain intensity, and shorten hospital stay.

Summary: Recent evidence suggests that maintaining submaximal trunk flexion postures may lead to significant creep deformation of the viscoelastic lumbar tissues. In this study, participants maintained a submaximal trunk flexion posture for 12 minutes, which resulted in significant increases in lumbar flexion angle and EMG-off lumbar flexion angle for the paraspinals.

Summary: This study demonstrates the safety, efficacy, and reproducibility of robotic harvest of the rectus abdominis muscle in complex, multidisciplinary, minimally invasive pelvic surgery. The technique avoids violation of the anterior rectus sheath and wound complications related to open flap harvest, and early experience suggests reduced donor-site morbidity.

Summary: This study revealed that post-absorptive muscle protein synthesis rates are higher in the rectus abdominis compared to the vastus lateralis, while there was no significant difference in synthesis rates between the vastus lateralis and pectoralis major or temporalis muscles. Sampled muscle tissue protein synthesis rates obtained during surgery may not necessarily reflect appendicular skeletal muscle protein synthesis rates.

Summary: This study aimed to evaluate the within/between-session reliability of spinal movement measures in patients with chronic low back pain (CLBP) and asymptomatic controls. The results showed that maximal angular amplitude and erector spinae activity measures demonstrated mostly moderate to good between-session reliability. However, range of angular motion and angular velocity measures had lower reliability, requiring important changes to be detectable. Task-independent measures and task-specific measures showed strong correlation in reliability.

Summary: This study investigates the effect of chair design on spine posture, muscle activity, and perceived pain. Lumbar support and seat pan tilt conditions result in more neutral spine and pelvic postures. However, sitting-induced pain remains present in the study sample without significant improvement.

Summary: This study aimed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of HIFU for the ablation of RAE. The results showed that HIFU effectively and safely ablated 65 lesions in 56 patients with only 1 case of recurrence during an 84-month follow-up.

Summary: This study demonstrated that skeletal muscle appeared well preserved after 18 hours of ECP with HTK or UW perfusion, showing comparable histological results to 4 hours of SCS upon short reperfusion. However, the high oedema rate during HTK perfusion remains a challenge that needs to be further addressed.

Summary: There was no significant difference in para-spinal muscle performance and clinical outcome between minimally-invasive and open lumbar fusion surgeries. Both methods resulted in declined muscle function post-operatively.

Summary: The study demonstrates that KT taping can significantly reduce rectus abdominis diastasis in postpartum women, particularly at the umbilicus site. This suggests that KT taping may have potential benefits in reducing RAD and improving abdominal wall function in this population.

Summary: Sternal wound complications after cardiothoracic surgery significantly increase mortality rates. Flap-based reconstruction can improve outcomes, but reoperation and readmission rates remain high. This study found that combined pectoralis and rectus abdominis flap reconstruction can decrease adverse outcomes related to sternal wound complications.

Summary: Malnutrition is common in critically ill patients in the ICU, but there are few scoring systems available to assess nutritional risk in this population. In this study, the use of ultrasound to measure rectus abdominis and rectus femoris muscle thickness was found to be a reliable and easily applicable method for determining nutritional risk in the ICU, as it showed a correlation with established scoring systems.

Summary: This study provides an overview of treatment strategies for Diastasis Recti Abdominis (DRA) and discusses the significance of technology in diagnosis and treatment. Exercise therapy has been found effective in improving functional impairments, with electromyography and ultrasound imaging serving as useful tools for assessing the abdominal muscles. Further research on treatment methods and technology assessment of therapeutic exercises will contribute to a better understanding of DRA.

Summary: This study demonstrated the performance of deep learning-based methods for segmenting and measuring the distance between rectus abdominis in ultrasound images. The Res-UNet model outperformed other models in terms of segmentation accuracy and distance measurement. The average physical distance between rectus abdominis measured from the segmentation masks generated by Res-UNet was highly correlated with the measurements by experienced sonographers, indicating the potential clinical usefulness of this deep learning model.
