Rhabdomyolysis of the Deltoid Muscle in a Bodybuilder Using Anabolic-Androgenic Steroids: A Case Report
TLDR
The unique case of a bodybuilder who developed localized rhabdomyolysis of the deltoid muscle after injection of steroids into the shoulder region is presented, believed to be the first description of localized r Rehabdomyolynsis in the area of an AAS injection.Abstract:
Objective: Rhabdomyolysis (breakdown of skeletal muscle tissue) may be caused by mechanical, physical, chemical, or biological factors. We present the unique case of a bodybuilder who deve...read more

The injecting use of image and performance-enhancing drugs (IPED) in the general population: a systematic review.
TL;DR: There is a need for future internet and clinical research to investigate prevalence and patterns of injecting use, and to map health outcomes in IPED users, highlighting the patterns of this public health issue.

Lumbar paraspinal compartment syndrome
TL;DR: Three of the patients with acute paraspinal compartmental syndrome treated with fasciotomy had a full recovery and were able to resume skiing after four months, and Prospective multicentre trials may provide the surgeon with more insight into the diagnosis and management of lumbar paraspinals compartment syndrome.

TL;DR: AKI is an important complication of anabolic steroid and vitamin supplement abuse and the main cause of renal dysfunction in these cases seems to be the vitamin D intoxication and drug-induced interstitial nephritis.

A Review of the Chemistry, Biological Action, and Clinical Applications of Anabolic-Androgenic Steroids
TL;DR: Given the biological effects and potential adverse effects of AAS, administration of these agents should be avoided in pregnant women, women with breast cancer or hypercalcemia, men with cancers of the prostate or breast, and patients with nephrotic syndromes or significant liver dysfunction.

Abnormal signal intensity in skeletal muscle at MR imaging: patterns, pearls, and pitfalls.
TL;DR: Altered signal intensity within skeletal muscle is frequently encountered at magnetic resonance (MR) imaging, and the ability to accurately diagnose these conditions is therefore necessary, and biopsy may be required to establish the correct diagnosis.

Exertional Rhabdomyolysis and Acute Renal Failure in Marathon Runners
TL;DR: The rare cases of acute renal failure in marathon runners may be a situation of the ‘perfect storm’ where there are several factors (heat stress, dehydration, latent myopathy, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory or other drug/analgesic use, and viral/bacterial infection) that, in some combination, come together to result in acute kidneys failure.
