The clinical disorder traditionally known as or has been the subject of several publications over the past two decades. Now, it is understood that the problem does not lie in the posterior tibial tendon per se and may even occur without tendon injury. Studies have brought new concepts and understanding that question the views on this subject, culminating in the replacement of existing classifications with one that is more assertive and discriminative of the potential presentation patterns of the deformity.

- Blood transfusions are common medical practices but can lead to increased infection risks and higher healthcare costs due to their immunomodulatory effects.
- The Patient Blood Management (PBM) program focuses on treating anemia, optimizing blood use during surgery, and managing oxygen delivery to improve patient outcomes and reduce the need for transfusions.
- This review outlines effective PBM strategies based on ongoing research, providing a structured model for implementation in hospitals to promote better clinical results and economic sustainability.
Article Synopsis
- A case of chronic osteomyelitis was treated by removing part of the cuboid bone and implanting an antibiotic-infused cement spacer, after a wooden object caused an infection in the patient's foot.
- After six months, the patient showed no signs of infection or complications, and their foot function remained normal without the need for additional supports.
- It's important to consider osteomyelitis when diagnosing bone issues in the foot, especially if there's a history of injury.
Background: The aim of this case report is to present a case of chronic cervical ligament tear and instability, which occurred by an unusual work injury with an eversion/hyper-pronation mechanism in contrast to the usual mechanism of inversion. The ligament was reconstructed using an allograft with satisfactory results up to 30 months after surgery. A new magnetic resonance imaging protocol (MRI) was developed to better evaluate the cervical ligament/graft.

: The anxiolytic effect of transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS) is associated with the activation of endogenous inhibitory mechanisms in the central nervous system. Both low-frequency, high-amplitude TENS (LF-TENS) and high-frequency, low-amplitude TENS (HF-TENS) are capable of activating opioid, GABA, serotonin, muscarinic, and cannabinoid receptors. However, there has been no comparative analysis of the effectiveness of HF-TENS and LF-TENS in the treatment of GAD.
