Achilles tendon ruptures are prevalent among physically active adults and can lead to sural nerve injuries (SNIs) due to the anatomical proximity of the sural nerve to the Achilles tendon. While SNIs are well-recognized in surgical contexts, their occurrence following nonoperative treatments, which are often preferred for their lower risk of surgical complications, remains less documented and poorly understood. This report describes a case of a 30-year-old active male who developed chronic traction sural neuropathy after opting for nonoperative treatment of an acute complete Achilles tendon rupture.

Introduction: China has the largest population of individuals with diabetes, and the prevalence of various complications among patients with type 2 diabetes remains high. Diabetic nephropathy affects approximately 20% to 40% of diabetic patients, becoming a major cause of chronic kidney disease and end-stage renal disease. Furthermore, around 50% of patients develop diabetic peripheral neuropathy (DPN), which is closely associated with physical disability, increased healthcare costs, and reduced work productivity.

Introduction/aims: Diabetic peripheral neuropathy affects small nerve fibers early, but adequate evaluation has proven difficult. One method for functional assessment of small nerve fiber function is the axon-reflex flare (ARF) response. This study aimed to 1) validate the histamine-induced ARF response in a nonselected population with diabetes, 2) compare the response to that induced by local heating, and 3) compare both methods to an established method (quantitative sensory testing) in a nonselected population with diabetes.

Background:  It is believed that genetic factors play a role in the development and severity of neural injury among people with distal symmetrical polyneuropathy (DSP), because some genes are involved in specific biological pathways, acting in different ways in the pathogenic process.

Objective:  To identify potential associations involving the ( C677T) and ( intron 3 variable number of tandem repeats [I3VNTR]) gene polymorphisms and DSP in the studied sample.

Methods:  In total, 70 children and adolescents with type-1 diabetes underwent a nerve conduction studie (NCS) of the sural nerve.
