Review Case Reports
Power yoga induced acute para-spinal compartment syndrome: a case report and review of literature.
Acute Paraspinal compartment syndrome (PCS) is a very rare clinical condition resulting from high pressures within the erector spinae muscle compartment due to intense edema of the erector spinae muscles and can be associated with rhabdomyolysis and renal injury. Though several causes have been identified, PCS caused by power yoga has not been reported. Power yoga is a form of fast and vigorous yoga, and involves intense flexion-extension of the spine and other parts of the body in a repetitive manner. ⋯ This report highlights the need for suspicion and early MRI for diagnosing yoga-induced PCS and appropriate care.

Observational Study
Evaluating the McMahon score for predicting mortality in earthquake-induced rhabdomyolysis: a retrospective study.
In natural disasters like earthquakes, building collapses can trap individuals, causing crush syndrome and rhabdomyolysis. This life-threatening condition often leads to acute kidney injury. We aimed to determine the effectiveness of the McMahon score in predicting mortality due to rhabdomyolysis in patients affected by the earthquake. ⋯ The use of the McMahon score in emergency medicine and disaster management plays a crucial role in rapid decision-making processes due to its effectiveness in predicting mortality.

This is a protocol for a Cochrane Review (intervention). The objectives are as follows: Primary objective To analyse the benefits and harms of pharmacological or other interventions (e.g. special diet, exercise programme) compared with placebo or standard care for RYR1-related disorders, including both permanent myopathies and intermittent (episodic) presentations (exertional myalgia and rhabdomyolysis), with the aim to improve motor and respiratory function and/or to reduce the frequency of episodes, respectively. ⋯ To assess whether the interventions, compared with placebo or usual care, change the expression of the disease state in patients with RYR1-related diseases. To identify a set of standardised outcome tools to be used in future studies.
