Treatment of the neglected and the relapsed clubfoot is one of the most controversial topics in pediatric foot care. This article reviews the breadth of treatment options for practicing podiatrists or orthopedists with a specialty in complex clubfoot treatment. Discussion includes the appropriate circumstances for the use of the different procedures presented and the author's preferred treatment algorithm, based on 15 years of treating neglected, relapsed, and nonidiopathic clubfeet.

Visceral leishmaniasis (VL) is a neglected tropical disease that mostly affects the working-class and impoverished segments of society, having a significant negative effect on the economic development of the affected nation. While anti-leishmanial medications lower mortality among VL patients, patients may still die or require more time to recover (TTR) while receiving treatment. In this regard, there are limited studies in Ethiopia.

Objective: Aim: To investigate the incidence of progression and median time for metastasizing, the development of recurrent localization, and to identify localizations with a high tendency to recurrence of melanoma during 10 years of patient follow-up observation.
Patients And Methods: Materials and Methods: The retrospective data of dynamic observation by dermatovenereologists of SIS ≪CIHT≫ SAD of 183 patients with skin melanoma for the period 2014 - first half of 2024.
Results: Results: Among 183 cases of melanoma, 23 cases (12,6%) were detected in stage III and 11 cases (6,0%) in stage IV, so the neglect rate was 18,6%.
Combination Therapy for Post-Kala-Azar Dermal Leishmaniasis: A Literature Review of Current Evidence.
Indian J Dermatol
October 2024
From the Department of Pharmacology, Lovely Professional University, Phagwara, Punjab, India.
Post-kala-azar dermal leishmaniasis (PKDL) is a neglected skin disease that has tremendous epidemiological significance as a reservoir of Leishmania parasites. Relapse, drug resistance, non-compliance to prolonged treatment, poor health-seeking behaviour, along with limited therapeutic options pose a significant impact on the management of PKDL. In this study, we aimed to review the efficacy, safety and tolerability data of combination therapies for PKDL in the published literature.

Article Synopsis
- * Factors like tumor heterogeneity, genomic instability, angiogenesis, and chronic hypoxia contribute to this recurrence by making GBM more resistant to therapies.
- * The review will explore how chronic hypoxia leads to genetic and epigenetic changes that aid GBM survival and will also propose personalized treatment strategies using a proteomics-based hypoxia signature.
