This article is centred around the similarities and highlights some differences between a sports injury compared with any other injury profile. The authors use a musculoskeletal assessment, diagnosis and management of an injury based on a particular case study. The intention is to highlight how problems may be masqueraded in the history and perception of the injured athlete and how this perception may have complicated the injury and the rehabilitation process. This issue generates a renewed awareness for all primary care nurses and health practitioners who may be involved in treatment pathways for associated injuries related to sports medicine problems. The article gives an insight into peroneal dislocation/subluxation, but primarily focuses on peroneal tendonitis/tendonosis. The management of the injury briefly touches on the associated benefits (and risks) of barefoot running and its role in the prevention of sporting injuries. This article illustrates how the frustration of a chronic injury can lead to the athlete making ill-informed decisions and highlights the need for a thorough assessment and an evidence-based management plan that is negotiated with the athlete.

Custom ocular prostheses incorporating braille for a patient with bilateral anophthalmia: A clinical report.

Bilateral anophthalmia, a clinical condition characterized by the absence of globe and ocular tissues from both the orbits, presents considerable challenges to a patient's daily routine and use of prostheses. The patient's inability to orientate custom ocular prostheses (COPs) 3-dimensionally is understandable, and they typically rely on caregivers to manage the prostheses and prevent inadvertent injury to the socket. This clinical report describes the successful integration of braille script into COPs as a solution to these challenges by improving prosthesis management, decreasing caregiver dependence, and encouraging independence.

Introduction: Mandibular condylar fractures are among the most common facial fractures and its incidence has been rising since the past few decades. Although various approaches for management of mandibular condylar fractures have been described in literature there is a gap in the published literature when it comes to comparison of these approaches. There have only been a handful of studies which have compared use of Retromandibular Transparotid against Retromandibular anteroparotid approach in management of mandibular condylar fractures with conflicting results.

Background: Restoring pre-injury normal gait following Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction (ACLR) is a critical challenge. The purpose of this study was to compare spatiotemporal parameters in athletes following ACL reconstruction with healthy athletes when cognitive load and speed were manipulated.
Methods: Twenty male soccer players with an ACLR history and 20 healthy matched individuals completed walking tasks under four conditions: with and without a cognitive load (auditory Stroop task), and at preferred speed as well as high speed (20% higher than the individual's preferred speed).
Histamine H receptor blockade alleviates neuropathic pain through the regulation of glial cells activation.

Neuropathic pain is a disorder affecting the somatosensory nervous system. However, this condition is also characterized by significant neuroinflammation, primarily involving CNS-resident non-neuronal cells. A promising target for developing new analgesics is histamine H receptor (HR); thus, we aimed to determine the influence of a novel HR antagonist/inverse agonist, E-98 (1-(7-(4-chlorophenoxy)heptyl)-3-methylpiperidine), on pain symptoms and glia activation in model of neuropathic pain in male mice (chronic constriction injury to the sciatic nerve).

Senior Consultant to the Global Medical Office, Fresenius Medical Care, Waltham, MA.
Patients with acute kidney injury often require dialysis (AKI-D) in the outpatient setting following hospitalization. Management of the patient with AKI-D should focus on preventing further insult to the damaged kidney and recovery of kidney function. Clinical attention should include continuity of care, education, infection control, medication management, and fluid management.
