Quality of life, function and disability in individuals with chronic ankle symptoms
Journal of Foot and Ankle Research
Although there is a plethora of research on chronic hip and knee conditions, there is limited understanding of the impact of ankle problems. Thus, the significance of chronic ankle conditions is not clear. The aim of this study was to compare self-reported function, disability, instability, physical activity and quality of life between adults with and without ankle symptoms. A secondary aim was to explore factors associated with QoL.

Scientists discover secret to superbug's virulence in diabetic infections
Science Codex
The bodies of people with uncontrolled diabetes appear to be the perfect environment for a common type of superbug to thrive unchecked and do its worst damage, according to new research by University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine scientists.
The researchers report in Science Advances that Staphylococcus aureus — a bacteria that often is resistant to antibiotics— thrives in glucose-rich diabetic conditions, which trigger it to activate some of its most virulent features. A lack of insulin prevents the immune system from responding to the infection.

Assessing the role of peroneal overdrive in plantar first metatarsal head ulcerations
Podiatry Today
Plantar first metatarsal head ulcerations can be challenging to treat. Ulcerations under the first metatarsal head reportedly represent the most common cause of lower limb amputations in patients with diabetes in the United States. Providers typically utilize non-surgical treatments first to try to heal the ulceration and these treatments include local wound care, immobilization and offloading. When these measures fail, surgical intervention may be necessary before the ulceration progresses to infection or osteomyelitis.

Treatment of plantar fasciitis/Plantar Heel Pain Syndrome with botulinum toxin
The Foot
Randomized controlled trials over the last two decades, although promising with favorable results, have shown varied efficacy in treatment of “plantar fasciitis” with botulinum toxin injection. One reason may be due to conflating the variabilities of plantar heel conditions solely as plantar fasciitis. Plantar Heel Pain Syndrome can be of one or more etiologies and symptoms which refutes the mistaken tendency to categorize all plantar heel pain singularly as either plantar fasciitis or fasciosis. Recognizing that there is likely an interplay of inflammatory, degenerative, and neuropathic etiologic conditions of this often-difficult malady to treat, a novel injection paradigm of botulinum toxin is explored in the treatment of four distinct presentations of Plantar Heel Pain Syndrome with encouraging results.
