Obstacles to emergency medical consultation in cases of conflict-related sexual violence.
PLoS One
January 2025
Panzi General Referral Hospital, Bukavu, The Democratic Republic of Congo.
Background: Despite the availability of a well-developed holistic care model for victims of conflict-related sexual violence, little is known about the factors that determine late presentation for care post-sexual violence care. Drawing from data from the Democratic Republic of the Congo, this study aimed to determine obstacles to accessing emergency medical care within 72-hours of sexual violence (SV).
Methods: We retrospectively analyzed data from 4048 victims of SV treated at Panzi Hospital (PH) in Bukavu city between 2015 and 2018.
Effects of Combined Intrathecal Mesenchymal Stem Cells and Schwann Cells Transplantation on Neuropathic Pain in Complete Spinal Cord Injury: A Phase II Randomized Active-Controlled Trial.
Cell Transplant
January 2025
Functional Neurosurgery Research Center, Shohada Tajrish Comprehensive Neurosurgical Center of Excellence, Shahid Beheshti University of Medical Sciences, Tehran, Iran.
Neuropathic pain is a debilitating complication following spinal cord injury (SCI). Currently, effective treatments for SCI-induced neuropathic pain are highly lacking. This clinical trial aimed to investigate the efficacy of combined intrathecal injection of Schwann cells (SCs) and bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) in improving SCI-induced neuropathic pain.

†Arbor-Ypsi Foot and Ankle Centers, Ann Arbor, Michigan.
This case report describes an otherwise healthy 43-year-old female who presented with severe pain, foot drop, and critical limb ischemia to her left foot caused by thrombosis of a peripheral artery secondary to antiphospholipid syndrome. Antiphospholipid syndrome is an autoimmune disease that frequently manifests as recurrent arterial and/or venous thrombotic events, ischemic strokes, and miscarriages. Antiphospholipid syndrome affecting primarily the arteries is less common as compared to venous thrombosis.

J Am Podiatr Med Assoc
January 2025
‖Pain Therapy Associates, Schaumburg, IL.
Background: Although an association between peripheral nerve entrapment issues and rheumatoid arthritis (RA) has been found, research has generally focused solely on nerve entrapment in the upper or lower extremity individually rather than on the consideration of nerve entrapment simultaneously in the upper and lower extremities. In addition, most of these studies have used small sample sizes. The aim of this study was to evaluate the incidence of carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) and tarsal tunnel syndrome (TTS) concurrently in patients with RA using a relatively large sample size.

January 2025
¶Department of Medicine, Division of Rheumatology, Firat University, Elazig, Turkey.
Background: Many factors, such as decreased spinal mobility, pain, and dysfunction can affect gait parameters in patients with ankylosing spondylitis. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of plantar fascia enthesitis and disease-specific measurements on gait parameters in patients with ankylosing spondylitis.
Methods: The Win-Track platform was used to evaluate spatiotemporal parameters in patients with ankylosing spondylitis and in healthy controls.
