Molecular Machines Could Treat Foot Fungus -
That stubborn athlete’s foot infection an estimated 70% of people get at some point in their life could become much easier to get rid of thanks to nanoscale drills activated by visible light.

Total knee replacements performed with the help of a surgical robot have better outcomes on average than similar surgeries performed manually but can cost significantly more, a new study by UT Southwestern Medical Center researchers shows.
A randomized controlled trial found that four weeks of gait training outdoors, in addition to home exercises often prescribed for shin splints, led to improved running biomechanics even when the runners were using a treadmill.
Good news for all the treadmill runners who suffer from stubborn shin splints: A little outdoor gait training may help, new research suggests.
Randomized control trial at UTSW suggests long-term benefit in reducing pain in lower extremities
Surgical nerve decompression, used to treat conditions such as carpal tunnel syndrome and sciatica, could play a role in relieving the pain of diabetic neuropathy patients, researchers at UT Southwestern Medical Center found.
Skin Test Detects Evidence of Parkinson’s and Related Disorders -
Alpha-synuclein is a protein found in brain and nerve cells. Its normal functions are poorly understood. But when an abnormal form of this protein accumulates in the brain and nervous system, it can lead to serious neurodegenerative disorders. These are collectively known assynucleinopathies. Parkinson’s disease is the most common. Read more at lermagazine.com

Surgical Management of Chronic Achilles Tendon Rupture: Evidence‑based Guidelines - Chronic Achilles tendon ruptures (CATR) often require surgical intervention to restore function. Despite numerous treatment modalities available, the optimal management strategy remains controversial given the limited high-quality evidence available. This article aims to provide evidence-based guidelines for the surgical management of CATR through a comprehensive systematic review of the available data.

Point of Care Diagnostic Ultrasound in the Evaluation of Patients with Patellar Tendinopathy.
Point of care diagnostic ultrasound can be a useful tool for the evaluation, diagnosis, treatment, and risk identification of patellar tendinopathy. Measurements of the patellar tendon that may be useful include tendon thickness, stiffness, and biomarkers of tendon quality which can provide clinicians with a more comprehensive assessment of the histological and healing progress of the patellar tendon. However, for sports medicine clinicians, appropriate training to ensure reliability and proficiency is paramount.

Effectiveness of Offloading Interventions for People With Diabetes-related Foot Ulcers.
Offloading treatment is crucial to heal diabetes-related foot ulcers (DFU). This systematic review aimed to assess the effectiveness of offloading interventions for people with DFU.
Methods: These authors searched PubMed, EMBASE, Cochrane databases, and trials registries for all studies relating to offloading interventions in people with DFU to address 14 clinical question comparisons.

Rodeo-Related Lower Extremity Injuries Treated at Hospital Emergency Departments - By Mathias B. Forrester, BS
Background: Rodeo is an extreme sport that has higher injury rates than most other sports. This study described rodeo-related lower extremity injuries treated at United States (US) emergency departments (EDs).
Methods: An analysis was performed of rodeo-related lower extremity injuries using data from the National Electronic Injury Surveillance System of the US Consumer Product Safety Commission during 2000-2022. National injury estimates were calculated for selected variables.

Who Knew? Lifelong Exercise Affects Muscle Fibers.
This study provides the first insights into fast and slow muscle fiber transcriptome dynamics with lifelong endurance exercise. The fast fibers were more responsive to exercise with divergent transcriptome signatures among young exercisers (growth and metabolic), lifelong exercisers (metabolic), and old healthy nonexercisers (stress). Only lifelong exercisers had a biological response in slow fibers (metabolic). These data provide novel insights into fast and slow muscle fiber health at the molecular level with age and exercise.

Seeking the Optimal AFO Stiffness for Energy Cost Reduction
To maximize the AFO’s effect on walking energy cost reduction, the AFO’s bending stiffness needs to be individually optimized.
The stiffness of a dorsal leaf ankle foot orthosis (AFO) that minimizes walking energy cost in people with plantarflexor weakness varies between individuals. Using predictive simulations, the authors of this article studied the effects of plantarflexor weakness, passive plantarflexor stiffness, body mass, and walking speed on the optimal AFO stiffness for energy cost reduction.

BASEBALL SUMMIT - Saturday, June 22, 2024. 9am-6pm EST
This course is designed to assist physicians and industry professionals in diagnosing, treating, and optimizing baseball and softball players swings. The baseball and softball swings are highly discussed throughout both the sports and medical communities. With recent developments in technology and training it is important to educate and organize methodologies on how to help players achieve their goals while preventing potential injuries.
In addition to the screening, how does the body function and how does physics apply to the baseball swing. Through proper diagnosis and treatment, players can take their individual characteristics and optimize their performance and reduce the rate of injury.
