Article Synopsis
- Patients with a foot problem called hallux valgus (HV) had surgery to fix it using a method called Minimally Invasive Chevron and Akin Osteotomy (MICA).
- Before and after the surgery, doctors looked at X-rays and pressure measurements to see how well it worked.
- The surgery made some angles in the foot better, but it didn’t lower the pressure on the middle part of the foot like they hoped it would.
This case report sheds light on the management of skeletal deformity in a young child with X-linked hypophosphatemia (XLH), emphasizing the significance of a timely orthotic intervention alongside pharmacological treatment, which is a strategy not frequently highlighted in the XLH literature. The patient, a 2-year-and-7-month-old female, presented with classic XLH symptoms, including short stature, pronounced genu varum, and hypophosphatemia, with deformities observed in both the coronal and sagittal planes of the femur and tibia. Despite initial reliance on pharmacotherapy, which proved insufficient for skeletal realignment, the integration of orthotic treatment at age 3 marked a pivotal turn in the management strategy.

This study aimed to establish a validated Chinese version of ASESp (ASESp-CH).
Methods: A clinical prospective study was performed (ClinicalTrials.
Objective: This study aimed to assess predictive ability of heart rate variability (HRV) for pregnancy outcomes with in vitro fertilization (IVF) treatment.
Research Design And Method: A total of 180 women with 261 cycles of IVF and 211 embryo transfers (ETs) were analyzed. HRV was measured at four times during IVF treatment: the first date of menstruation, r-HCG (Ovidrel) administration, and before and after ET.
