Abstract

The purpose of the study was to evaluate the prevalence of foot pain and foot deformities in adolescents. It was aimed to obtain information on the association between foot pain and foot deformities. A total of 2 368 adolescents (age 14.5 +/- 0.7 years) were evaluated. The frequency of foot pain was probed by using a self-reporting questionnaire. The foot deformities were evaluated during clinical examinations by school doctors. The prevalence of foot pain was 14.0 % and the prevalence of foot deformities was 13.7 %. The prevalence of pain was significantly higher in adolescents with foot deformity (17.8 %) than in persons without deformity (13.4 %), p < 0.05. The prevalence of a flexible flat foot was 6.2 % and the prevalence of a rigid flat foot was 0.5 %. Other deformities registered were splay foot (2.3 %) and flexible splay-flat foot (2.0). The prevalence of hallux-valgus deformity was 3.5 %. A total of 3.5 % patients were suffering from a plantar hyperkeratosis. This was significantly correlated to a high pain prevalence (the hyperkeratosis was significantly associated with a high prevalence of pain). Significant factors which were significantly associated with foot pain were foot deformity (1.4 fold) and hyperkeratosis (...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.
