Abstract:
The incidence of the surgical neck fractures of humerus is increasing, especially among younger age groups as they place higher demands on their shoulder joints. Resistance training and heavy weight lifting have been implicated in a number of orthopedic upper extremity injuries. Acute sprains or strains are the most common type of reported injuries. Other reported weightlifting injuries includes pectoralis tendon ruptures, distal bicep injury, and shoulder capsulolabral complex injuries. To our best knowledge, there are no reported cases in the literature describing surgical neck humeral fracture in a young adult due to heavy weight strength training without any underlying medical predisposing condition. This case report describes a surgical neck proximal humeral undisplaced fracture in a 44 year old male which was treated conservatively with an uneventful recovery.

Acid Strength and Molecular Structure
In the absence of any leveling effect, the acid strength of binary compounds of hydrogen with nonmetals (A) increases as the H-A bond strength decreases down a group in the periodic table. For group 17, the order of increasing acidity is HF < HCl < HBr < HI. Likewise, for group 16, the order of increasing acid strength is H2O < H2S < H2Se < H2Te. Across a row in the periodic table, the acid strength of binary hydrogen compounds increases with increasing...
Strength of Cement
For compressive strength tests, ASTM C 109-05 standards prescribe a cement-sand mix ratio of 1:2.75 and a water/cement ratio of 0.485 for making 2-inch cubes. These cubes are mixed, cast, and cured in saturated lime water at 23°C until testing. Flexural strength testing, outlined in...
