. This study aims to describe the clinical features in terms of pain perception, ankle range of motion, and foot volume in participants with recurrent ankle sprains compared with first-time sprains. . Individuals with grade I and II ankle sprains were referred to physiotherapy care for further rehabilitation by their general practitioner. Primary outcome measures were range of movement, pain, and foot volume. Recurrences were described according to engagement in sport. . A total of 115 participants were recruited (age = 22.2 ± 6.9 years; female, 84). Neither pain level (P = .822), nor range of motion (dorsiflexion P = .452; plantar flexion P = .436; inversion P = .383; eversion P = .657), nor foot volume (P = .654) were significantly different between the groups: individuals with first-time sprain or with recurrences. . Pain and high existence of other lower-limb injuries were reported disregarding the presence of a recurrence. Clinically, it is difficult to differentiate recurrent sprain from a first-time ankle sprain by means of foot volume, range of movement, or pain intensity.

Retrospective analysis of the effect of vaporous hyperoxia therapy as an adjunct to standard wound care in chronic wounds.
Wounds
February 2025
Foot and Ankle Specialists of the Mid-Atlantic, Frederick, MD, USA.
Background: Considering the rising incidence and cost associated with chronic wounds, further investigation of safe and effective treatments is needed.
Objective: To conduct a retrospective analysis of patients with chronic wounds in order to evaluate the healing effect of vaporous hyperoxia therapy (VHT) used adjunctively with standard wound care.
Materials And Methods: The data of patients with chronic wounds (≥4 weeks' duration) who received commercial treatment with VHT between February 28, 2020, and August 30, 2022, were reviewed.
Cocaine self-administration increases impulsive decision-making in low-impulsive rats associated with impaired functional connectivity in the mesocorticolimbic system.

Impulsivity is often considered a risk factor for drug addiction; however, not all evidence supports this view. In the present study, we used a food reward delay-discounting task (DDT) to categorize rats as low-, middle-, and high-impulsive but failed to find any difference among these groups in the acquisition and maintenance of cocaine self-administration, regardless of electrical foot-shock punishment. Additionally, there were no group differences in locomotor responses to acute cocaine in rats with or without a history of cocaine self-administration.

Background And Purpose: Accurate quantification of bony malalignment within the ankle syndesmosis is crucial in diagnosing syndesmotic instability, especially when subtle. While three-dimensional (3D) measurement techniques using weight-bearing computed tomography (WBCT) have gained popularity, normative bilateral comparative data still need to be established. This study aimed to identify the side-to-side variations and gender differences in the syndesmotic area and volume among individuals without syndesmotic injury using WBCT.

Background: Periprosthetic osteolysis after total ankle arthroplasty (TAA) is a substantial problem. Bone grafting may be beneficial in the treatment of large osteolytic cysts; however, the literature regarding the outcomes of bone grafting is limited. This study analyzed the outcomes of autogenous bone grafting performed for the management of periprosthetic osteolysis following TAA.

Objective: Cervical spinal cord (cSC) gray matter (GM) damage is associated with current disability in multiple sclerosis (MS), but its prognostic value remains unexplored. We aimed to investigate whether cSC GM damage may predict disability worsening in MS.
Materials And Methods: Seventy-nine MS patients and 49 healthy controls (HC) underwent 3 T brain and cSC MRI at baseline and two neurological evaluations after median follow-up of 1.
