Thirty six male athletes at the age from 17 to 25 years (masters and candidate masters of sports) were divided into two groups as follows: group 1 (fencing, n=20) and group 2 (badminton, n=16). The athletes used Charcot's douche with a water temperature either 20 degrees C or 38-40 degrees C after each evening training session. Their functional conditions were estimated based on the results of the measurements of the muscular tone and tensodynamometry. The data obtained were supplemented by the assessment of the subjective state of the athletes and pedagogical testing. It was shown that the hydroprocedures using water with a temperature of 20 degrees C produced tonic effect while the application of water with a temperature of 38-40 degrees C had a relaxing action. Taken together, the results of the study indicate that Charcot's douche with different temperature regimes can be recommended as a tool for controlling the adaptive mechanisms in the athletes, enhancing their functional abilities, and improving the efficacy of the training process.

The aim of this study was to compare the efficacy of different negative pressure wound therapy (NPWT) devices and NPWT with and without simultaneous irrigation in patients admitted to hospital with moderate and severe foot infections. Ninety patients were randomized in a 12-week prospective, randomized noninferiority trial to compare wound healing in patients with moderate and severe infected foot wounds treated with NPWT after surgery. Inclusion criteria included ABI > 0.

Objective: To demonstrate the efficacy of the ulcer piercing procedure, which allows constant cleansing of the ulcer and facilitates a positive pressure irrigation of any pierced hidden tracts, in order to reduce the negative impact of stasis on wound healing.
Method: We designed a surgical procedure of ulcer piercing and drainage with a silastic tube, which allows positive pressure irrigation of any pierced tracts. This procedure was performed in a continuous series of 25 selected diabetic patients affected by a Wagner stage 3 ulcer of the toe (n=16), metatarsal midfoot (n=5) and plantar Charcot foot (n=4), and with adequate foot arterial blood supply.

Neuropathic arthropathy, or Charcot's joint, is a degenerative disorder resulting from abnormal sensory innervation that is associated with diabetes mellitus, tabes dorsalis, and syringomyelia. Patients may present with a painless instability of the affected joint, although a range of symptoms are seen. This article presents a case of a patient who presented with a swollen elbow, consistent with septic arthritis, and bilateral lower extremity weakness.

Allergic bronchopulmonary mycosis (ABPM) is a worldwide hypersensitivity lung disease of multiple etiologies with Aspergillus fumigatus as the most common etiologic agent. We report the first instance of Bipolaris hawaiiensis causing ABPM in a paediatric patient. A six-year-old girl presented in June 2009 with productive cough, exertional dyspnoea, occasional wheezing, restricted air entry in left infra-scapular and infra-axillary areas, 7% eosinophils (absolute count 540/mm(3)) and total IgE 1051.
