Association of Demographic Characteristics and Laboratory Values in Diabetic Foot Infections Leading to Lower-Extremity Amputation
CONCLUSIONS: An admission WBC count may be used as a predictor of lower-extremity amputation level and outcomes in diabetic infections. Although a statistically significant difference was not found for CRP or HbA1c levels between amputation procedures and number of procedures performed, these values remain useful in managing lower-extremity infections in diabetic patients.PMID:38446563 | DOI:10.7547/21-187 (Source: Journal of the American Podiatric Medical Association)

Assessment of Ingrown Toenails Treated with Nail Fold Cryotherapy in Adolescent Patients: An Observational Pilot Study
CONCLUSIONS: Nail fold cryotherapy is a useful alternative among conservative methods because of its rapid and high efficiency (91.7%), especially in mild to moderate cases, despite the high recurrence rates (45.5%) in juvenile IGTN.PMID:38446556 | DOI:10.7547/21-177 (Source: Journal of the American Podiatric Medical Association)

Achilles Tendon Stiffness in the Etiology of Sever Disease: A Shear Wave Elastography Study
CONCLUSIONS: In conclusion, no difference was found in Achilles tendon elasticity between patients with Sever disease and healthy individuals in both the tendon body and the calcaneal insertionof the tendon. Achilles tendon elasticity has not been found to play a role in the etiology of Sever disease.PMID:38446553 | DOI:10.7547/22-167 (Source: Journal of the American Podiatric Medical Association)

Correlation between Clinical Outcome and Radiologic Features After Open Reduction and Internal Fixation of Calcaneal Fractures
CONCLUSIONS: There was no significant correlation between Böhler and Gissane angles and the clinical outcomes in surgically treated calcaneal fractures. Also, functional outcomes do not change considerably among different grades of arthritis in calcaneocuboid and subtalar joints, at least during short- to mid-term follow-up periods. Radiologic findings after open reduction and internal fixation of calcaneal fractures are not predictors of function of the patients.PMID:38446548 | DOI:10.7547/22-085 (Source: Journal of the American Podiatric Medical Association)

Nonuremic Calciphylaxis: A Rare and Unexpected Diagnosis of Necrotic Ulcers
We present a fatal case of nonuremic calciphylaxis with delayed and unexpected diagnosis despite early biopsy and testing. The patient presented with a 2-month history of painful ulceration to the left leg. Early biopsy was negative for calciphylaxis. Laboratory tests were negative for renal disease and autoimmune disorders. There was elevated parathyroid hormone (96 pg/mL) 3 months after initial presentation and documented cobalamin deficiency. The patient went on to develop wounds to both legs and her thighs. A second biopsy of a left thigh wound by means of the dermatology service revealed calciphylaxis. The purpose of ...
