Shoulder deformation without neurological injuries: A rare visible sequela after positional torture
Introduction: Positional torture - commonly involving forced immobilisation in extreme or contorted postures - is known to produce musculoskeletal and neurological harm while often leaving minimal visible evidence.

Case presentation: We describe a 23-year-old male…

Alcohol and Nicotine Use among Adolescents: An Observational Study in a Sicilian Cohort of High School Students
In recent years, the mode of alcoholic intake known as binge drinking (BD) has become a common practice, especially among adolescents who, due to socio-environmental motives, tend to reach a rapid state of drunkenness.

Likewise, nicotine leads to a comparable de…
