Arch Stiffness Does Not Determine Running Economy in Recreational Runners.

The primary purpose of this study was to determine the relationship between foot length, arch stiffness, and running economy in recreational runner at low running velocities. Sixteen trained endurance (age 20.5 ± 0.

Mucosa associated lymphoid tissue lymphoma presenting within a solitary anti-mesenteric dilated segment of ileum: a case report.

Introduction: Mucosa associated lymphoid tissue (MALT) lymphoma is the third most common non-Hodgkin's lymphoma subtype. Clinical presentation is often insidious as a low-grade lesion and disease tends to remain localised for a long period of time. Ileal involvement is rare and presentation within an area of focal anti-mesenteric ileal wall dilation simulating a large diverticulum has not been reported.

Omission of concurrent chemoradiation after a response to neoadjuvant chemotherapy in locally advanced rectal cancer with a synchronous liver metastasis: a note of caution.

There is clear evidence to support the use of pre-operative concurrent chemo-radiotherapy (CRT) in locally advanced rectal cancer. In the UK, most patients are selected for treatment if the resection margin is predicted to be involved. The selection criteria used includes primary tumours that threaten the resection margins on high-resolution pelvic MRI and low tumours requiring abdominoperineal excision.

Early symptomatic recurrence after intestinal resection in Crohn's disease is unpredictable.

Objective: To identify predictors of early symptomatic recurrence of Crohn's disease (CD) after surgical resection.

Method: We studied a cohort of 128 patients who had undergone at least one intestinal resection for CD. Factors that might predict early recurrence were documented for analysis using a standardized pro forma.

Laparoscopic repair of abdominal intercostal hernia: a case report and review of the literature.

Abdominal intercostal herniation occurs rarely, with only 27 previous cases reported in the literature. An 84-year-old man presented with a painful large thoraco-abdominal mass. He had no history of trauma or surgery to the chest or abdomen.
