Posture-induced compressive peroneal neuropathy during harvesting season: A case series.

Posture-induced compressive peroneal neuropathy usually occurs after maintaining certain positions, such as prolonged squatting or habitual leg crossing. Peroneal neuropathy mainly presents with unilateral foot drop and variable sensory deficit. In this article, a case series of unilateral/bilateral peroneal nerve palsy secondary to prolonged squatting during peanut harvesting was reported.

Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the effectiveness of high-resolution nerve ultrasound (HRUS) in diagnosing polyneuropathy caused by the chemotherapy drug vincristine.
- Twelve patients undergoing vincristine treatment and twelve healthy controls participated, with measurements taken at various intervals, including nerve cross-sectional areas (CSAs), neuropathy scores, and nerve conduction studies.
- Results indicated that while overall CSA at nerve entrapment sites increased alongside clinical symptoms, HRUS did not show significant changes at individual nerve sites, highlighting that clinical exams are key for early detection of vincristine-induced polyneuropathy.
MRI Findings of Bilateral Anterior Tarsal Tunnel Syndrome - A Case Report.

Department of Medical Imaging, St. Joseph's Health Care London, Ontario, Canada.
Anterior tarsal tunnel syndrome, an infrequent entrapment neuropathy involving the deep peroneal nerve beneath the inferior extensor retinaculum in the anterior ankle, is often overlooked on medical images, leading to delayed diagnosis and treatment. We present the case of a 52-year-old male, an avid runner, who exhibited a sensation of burning and tingling in the dorsal region of both feet. Electrophysiologic studies suggested bilateral deep peroneal neuropathy.

Introduction: Approximately 60-70% of individuals with diabetes experience varying degrees of damage to their nervous system, resulting in a condition known as diabetic peripheral neuropathy (DPN). DPN usually involves distal body parts and is characterised as distal symmetrical sensorimotor neuropathy which is progressive in nature and follows a "glove and stocking pattern". It has significantly contributed to neuropathic pain, decreased nerve conduction velocity (NCV), impaired proprioception, compromised balance, and postural instability.

Article Synopsis
- Hemodialysis-related restless legs syndrome (HD-RLS) is a common issue in patients undergoing hemodialysis, diagnosed primarily through clinical criteria, with proposed additional use of nerve physiology measurement as a diagnostic aid.
- The study involved 20 patients with HD-RLS, 33 without RLS (HD-nRLS), and 30 healthy controls, focusing on nerve conduction assessments in various limbs.
- Results indicated that HD-RLS patients exhibited more severe nerve damage and longer F-wave durations in their nerves, suggesting that the F-wave duration to compound muscle action potential duration ratio could help in diagnosing HD-RLS.
