Abstract

Flexible flatfoot refers to the loss of the medial longitudinal arch of the foot on weight bearing and is associated with excessive heel eversion or forefoot abduction. Unless symptomatic, flexible flatfeet are best managed non-operatively. The calcaneo-cuboid-cuneiform osteotomy is a procedure that restores the anatomical shape of the foot without arthrodesis of the joints. Our study aims to evaluate the functional and radiological outcomes of patients treated with calcaneo-cuboid-cuneiform osteotomy in patients with planovalgus feet. A retrospective review of records and radiographs of patients with symptomatic flexible planovalgus feet, who were operated with the calcaneo-cuboid-cuneiform osteotomy by a single senior surgeon in a time period between April 2016 and July 2017 was done. The clinical and radiological outcomes were evaluated in 12 feet in 8 children. A total of 12 feet in 8 children were operated (6 males and 2 females). Average age of patients was 11 ± 1.27 years; average follow up was 14.7 months ± 2.7 months. Two patients had planovalgus feet secondary to spastic diplegia and 6 had idiopathic planovalgus feet. There was a statistically significant improvement in the pain score as well as the radiographic param...Continue Reading

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.

Microbicide

Microbicides are products that can be applied to vaginal or rectal mucosal surfaces with the goal of preventing, or at least significantly reducing, the transmission of sexually transmitted infections. Here is the latest research on microbicides.
