Article Synopsis
- Morton neuroma (MN) is a common condition diagnosed through various subjective features and physical tests, and this systematic review aimed to evaluate their diagnostic accuracy.
- The review included 9 studies and found that a patient's report of clicking is highly specific for MN, while the modified webspace tenderness test is highly sensitive in ruling it out.
- Despite the findings, the review's conclusions are limited by a small number of studies and potential bias, emphasizing the need for more comprehensive research on MN diagnostics.*
LaMoO is acknowledged as an exceptional oxide ion conductor. It undergoes a reversible phase transition around 580 °C from the nonconductive low-temperature monoclinic α-LaMoO phase to the highly conductive high-temperature cubic β-LaMoO phase. In addition, LaMoO demonstrates complex chemistry under reducing conditions.

The crystal structure of CaGaO is closely related to melilite, with [GaO] layers stacked in a more complex way to accommodate an additional 0.5 interlayer cations per formula unit, suggesting the potential for similar oxide ion conduction behavior.
