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. The four patients presented were aged between 12 and 21 years. All patients showed signs of peroneal nerve palsy in the electrophysiological examination. The present article also reviewed the clinical evaluation, rehabilitation approaches, and prognosis of posture-induced peroneal neuropathy in light of the current literature.

Objective: To investigate the clinical effect of electroacupuncture (EA) in preventing chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy (CIPN).
Methods: Fifty-two patients with breast cancer in the regimen of taxane-assisted/neoadjuvant chemotherapy, were randomly divided into an EA group (26 cases, 3 cases dropped out) and a usual care (UC) group (26 cases, 1 case dropped out). In the UC group, on the basis of standard chemotherapy regimen, the routine nursing was administered.

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.
