The Effectiveness of Topical Treatment for Plantar Warts: A Retrospective Cohort Study.

: Plantar warts, caused by human papillomavirus (HPV), are a common condition that can be painful and resistant to treatment. There are various therapeutic options for managing them, but it is not always clear which are the most effective and tolerated by patients. Among the most commonly used treatments are a zinc and nitric complex (nitrizinc complex), cantharidin, and bleomycin, each with different mechanisms of action and profiles in terms of pain and patient satisfaction.

A Rare Paronychia with Superinfection with and : The Importance of Early Microbiological Diagnosis.

is an anaerobic, gram-negative bacillus which naturally thrives in the human vagina, and is usually related to vaginal tract infections. However, this microorganism can also cause infections in other body locations. Infections with are frequently severe due to the risk of osteomyelitis and the lack of good protocols for adequate therapeutic management.

Range of Ankle Dorsiflexion in a Group of Adults with Ligamentous Laxity.

Background: Ligamentous or joint laxity is a clinical entity characterized by increased joint mobility beyond the range of motion regarded as normal, and joint mobility is an effective indicator of the degree of laxity. We examined the influence of ligamentous laxity on the range of ankle dorsiflexion with the knee flexed and extended, comparing lax adults with a control (nonlax) group.

Methods: The sample comprised 400 individuals: 200 in the control group (mean ± SD age, 32.

Structural differences in the lower extremities in children aged 7-9 years, caused by playing football: A cross-sectional study.

Background: Physical activity during childhood can be beneficial in the long term. However, this practice can influence the child's physiological development. The aim of this study was to determine whether the practice of soccer, in moderation, could be a risk factor for the inadequate development of the lower limb.

Clinical signs in the foot that are predictors of ligamentous laxity in the adult population.

Objectives: This study evaluates the influence of ligamentous laxity on the foot from observation of clinical signs and quantification of certain joint ranges.

Methods: The sample consisted of 400 subjects - 200 in the non-lax control group (ages 32.49 ± 11.

Effect by custom-made foot orthoses with added support under the first metatarso-phalangeal joint in hallux limitus patients: Improving on first metatarso-phalangeal joint extension.

Background: Hallux limitus is one of the most common disorders affecting foot biomechanics. Custom-made foot orthoses can improve the function of the first metatarso-phalangeal joint.

Objectives: The objective underlying this study was to test whether custom-made foot orthoses increased the range of mobility of metatarso-phalangeal joint in patients with hallux limitus.

Sensitivity and specificity of a new test for thermographic evaluation of the foot in the diagnosis of diabetic peripheral polyneuropathy.

Objective: This work determined the sensitivity, specificity, and predictive values of a test evaluating the thermal perception threshold to cold and heat and established a thermal interval with the participant's basal temperature in order to detect diabetic peripheral neuropathy in 172 people with diabetes, 86 with and 86 without diabetic neuropathy.

Design: This was a cross-sectional, diagnosis accuracy study.

Setting: This research was performed from January 2010 to February 2012 in Seville, Spain, and Córdoba, Spain.

Foot orthoses custom-made by vacuum forming on the non-load-bearing foot: preliminary results in male children with calcaneal apophysitis (Sever's disease).

Background And Aim: To our knowledge, the technique of molding orthoses to the non-load-bearing foot is still not widely investigated. The aim of this work is, therefore, first, to describe an off-loading custom-made technique and, second, to explain how it can be specifically adapted to treat Sever's disease.

Techniques: A technique of directly molding orthoses to the non-load-bearing foot by vacuum forming an insole to the foot fabricated with a combination of polyvinyl chloride and polyester resins, 30 Shore A hardness and 148 kg/m(3) density polyethylene-ethylene-vinyl-alcohol, and a cushioning heel cup of 22 Shore A polyurethane, using a directly molding orthoses technique to the non-load-bearing foot by vacuum.
