Article Abstract

Guidelines for the management of lower leg ulcers/varicose veins, third edition is a fully revised guideline drafted by the Japanese Dermatological Association Wound/Pressure Ulcer/Burn Guidelines Drafting Committee. They were developed in a systematic and transparent manner with the Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development and Evaluation (GRADE) approach. In the four clinical questions with meta-analyses, ultrasonography, compression therapy, surgical therapy, and sclerotherapy were weakly recommended in the treatment of lower leg ulcers/varicose veins.

Background: Electrical impedance myography (EIM) has been proposed as an efficient, non-invasive biomarker of muscle composition in facioscapulohumeral muscular dystrophy (FSHD).

Objective: We investigate whether EIM parameters are associated with muscle structure measured by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), muscle histology, and transcriptomic analysis as well as strength at the individual leg muscle level.

Methods: We performed a multi-center cross-sectional study enrolling 33 patients with FSHD.

Primary cutaneous diffuse large B-cell lymphoma, leg type (PCDLBCL-LT), is an uncommon and aggressive subtype of cutaneous B-cell lymphoma, typically affecting elderly women and predominantly involving the lower extremities. Its diagnosis relies on immunohistochemical profiling and clinical presentation. We report a rare case of a 45-year-old male presenting initially with scalp and supraciliary plaques.

This case report describes the functional outcomes of a proprioceptive rehabilitation protocol for primary prevention in a 31-year-old patient with L5-S1 radiculopathy sequelae confirmed by electroneuromyography and associated ankle proprioceptive deficit. The patient underwent a seven-week proprioceptive rehabilitation protocol comprising 10 supervised sessions, with a six-month follow-up period. Assessment tools included the Foot and Ankle Ability Measure (FAAM), the single-leg balance test with eyes closed, and the visual analog scale (VAS) for perceived stability.

Chronically raised blood glucose levels can lead to a broad variety of microvascular and macrovascular complications. Neurological disorders are a common manifestation of diabetes mellitus, and poorly controlled diabetes mellitus frequently causes peripheral sensorimotor polyneuropathy and autonomic neuropathy.
