PVC was scored (from 0-4) based on foot anatomic location and radiology reported MAFEs, which includes foot fracture, Charcot neuroarthropathy, foot ulcer, osteomyelitis, or minor amputation. Risk ratios (RR) with 95% confidence intervals (95% CI) and Poisson regressions were performed assessing the risk of sustaining MAFEs with number of PVCs and stage of CKD.Results: The risk of any MAFE increased as PVC score increased (RR = 1.23); the risk of any MAFE increased as CKD stage increased (RR = 1.35); and risk of any PVC increased as CKD stage increased (RR = 1.71).Conclusions: Pedal vessel calcification on a foot radiograph increases the risk of any MAFE and increases with progressive stage of CKD. Pedal vessel calcification may serve as a gateway to prompt investigation, treatment, or referral for at-risk diabetic neuropathic, nephropathic patients.","PeriodicalId":17241,"journal":{"name":"Journal of the American Podiatric Medical Association","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.5,"publicationDate":"2024-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11629881/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142391501","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The crural fascia (CF) attaches directly to the tibia throughout the length of the leg, encircling it in a grossly cylindrical fashion, and the leg may thus be viewed as a type of fluid-filled cylinder, subject to both longitudinal and hoop stresses. Prior researchers have not considered the possibility that strain on the medial tibia could be produced by the CF during gait and passive stretching, secondary to fluid pressure increases in the fascial compartments of the leg. The purpose of the present research was to verify the existence of measurable hoop strain in the CF of a cadaver donor at the medial tibial border during a heel cord stretch.Methods: Strain gauges were affixed to the CF of a cadaver donor to measure hoop and longitudinal strain during repeated heel cord stretches applied manually, and with measurements taken from each strain gauge separately.Results: Passive heel cord stretches produced 182.96 × 10-3 mV/V and 138.00 × 10-3 mV/V hoop strain in the CF, in the distal third and middle third of the leg, respectively. A maximum longitudinal strain in the CF of the superficial posterior compartment of 75.00 × 10-3 mV/V was also produced.Conclusions: A heel cord stretch applied to a cadaver donor can elicit a measurable hoop strain within the CF attachment to the medial border of the tibia, in a grossly 2-to-1 manner consistent with the ratio of hoop to longitudinal strain seen with gases and liquids in a closed cylinder. Further research is indicated to replicate these results in multiple subjects, with variation in cadaver fixative and experimental set-up.","PeriodicalId":17241,"journal":{"name":"Journal of the American Podiatric Medical Association","volume":"114 5","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.5,"publicationDate":"2024-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142639110","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The sudden adoption of certain practices in podiatry was not always supported by empirical evidence, resulting in the development of guidelines and metrics that lacked a foundation in rigorous research.Methods: A modified Delphi composed of three rounds was conducted with 16 stakeholders (service users, foot and ankle health-care providers, and policymakers) from a primary-care setting to develop a podiatric telemedicine framework for a primary-care setting. The first round consisted of focus group discussions, the second round consisted of a questionnaire composed of different statements that emerged from focus group discussions, and the final third round consisted of a questionnaire with statements from the second round that required further reiterations. Statements that achieved an 80% or higher level of agreement were accepted to form part of the podiatric telemedicine framework.Results: Excellent consensus data was obtained to develop the podiatric telemedicine framework. Although podiatric telemedicine for low-risk patients in a primary-care setting is relatively new, stakeholders highlighted the importance of having podiatric telemedicine guidelines and setting service user and provider expectations clear on what podiatric telemedicine has to offer and its pitfalls.Conclusions: The podiatric telemedicine framework developed is recommended to all foot and ankle health-care professionals in a primary-care setting who wish to provide telemedicine consultations. Moreover, it is recommended that a pilot study be carried out to look into the feasibility of this framework being translated and implemented as a guideline related to foot and ankle telemedicine consultations.","PeriodicalId":17241,"journal":{"name":"Journal of the American Podiatric Medical Association","volume":"114 5","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.5,"publicationDate":"2024-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142639099","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, the reliability of detection of glycemic fluctuations is questionable.Methods: We reviewed the literature on the capability of canines in detecting significant variations in blood sugar. Traditional studies and anecdotal reports were assessed. Articles and resources that outline the available training and certification process were included.Results: Publications included studies of canines' ability to detect scents associated with hyperglycemia and hypoglycemia as well as behavioral changes associated with blood sugar abnormalities. Several anecdotal reports denoted excellent canine performance in detection. Perusal of literature and Web-based resources found a range of available training, from formal (with certification) to do-it-yourself home training. Evidence supporting improved mental/physical health in persons using service dogs was robust.Conclusions: Canines have the capability to detect numerous medical conditions, including dangerous fluctuations in blood sugar in persons with diabetes, especially hypoglycemia. Most studies on the reliability and performance of diabetes alert dogs report potential lifesaving benefits but demonstrate notable variability and inconsistencies, which may be due to lack of required formal training or a certification process. Most owners believe their dogs are highly effective and greatly improve their life and safety. Due to the improving technology seen with continuous glucose monitoring devices, many believe diabetes alert dogs will become obsolete. Aside from an early warning system, diabetes alert dogs can play a significant role in overall quality of life, especially in benefiting physical and mental health.","PeriodicalId":17241,"journal":{"name":"Journal of the American Podiatric Medical Association","volume":"114 5","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.5,"publicationDate":"2024-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142639114","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It was aimed to examine the effects of foot posture and anthropometric characteristics, which deteriorated from the early period, on ambulation and performance of patients with DMD.Methods: The foot arch height (FAH), the metatarsal width (MW), subtalar pronation angle, and ankle limitation degree (ALD) were evaluated to determine the foot anthropometric characteristics of the patients. Foot Posture Index-6 (FPI-6) was used to evaluate foot posture. The performance of the patients was determined by the 6-minute walk test (6MWT), the 10-meter walk test (10MWT), and ascend/descend a standard 4-step test, and the ambulation was determined by the North Star Ambulatory Assessment (NSAA). Spearman's correlation coefficient was calculated to assess the relationship between foot anthropometric characteristics and posture, and performance and ambulation.Results: The sample consisted of 48 patients with DMD aged 5.5 to 12 years. Both of the right and left foot FPI-6 scores were associated with all parameters, except descending 4-step. The left FAH was associated with 6MWT and NSAA, and the left MW was associated with 6MWT. The ALD of right foot was associated with 6MWT, ascending/descending 4 steps, and NSAA, and left ankle limitation was associated with NSAA (p<0.05).
