[Morphological changes in tissues of extremities in military personnel with overload disease]
Abstract:
Extremely high physical activity results in anatomic-functional discordance in muscle compartments of segments of extremities. It leads to compartment syndrome consisting in compromised microcirculation, blood plasma infiltration of intercellular space, increased subfascial pressure at the same time we see intraosseous microcirculation disturbance and pathological alterations of bone tissue (hyperostosis, pathological reorganization, fractures), muscles, nerves and fasciae, that is confirmed by morphological alterations. Facsiotomy is of pathogenetic nature in patients with this pathology. Connective tissue replaces the site subjected to facsiotomy thus enabling to extend muscle compartment, normalizing in them intracompartment pressure under exercise stress, improving muscles, nerves, bones microcirculation, that enables elimination of anatomic-functional discordance of blood circulation and size of a muscle compartment under physical load and speeds up reparative processes in bones.

Jugular Venous Pressure (JVP) Measurement
Position the patient at a thirty- to forty-five-degree angle or in a semi-fowler's position. Look for the highest point of pulsation in the internal jugular vein and measure the vertical distance to the angle of Loius or sternal angle. A normal JVP is 3-4 cm above the...

Musculoskeletal disorders
Musculoskeletal disorders involve injuries and conditions affecting the skeletal muscles and associated connective tissues. These disorders can arise from acute biomechanical stresses or chronic overuse and can occur across different age groups. Common injuries include sprains, fractures, and muscular strains, often resulting from...
