Chronic pain is a common condition that causes negative emotions as the disease progresses. The anterior cingulate cortex (ACC) is a key region in the integration of nociceptive perception and emotional response in chronic pain. Linderane (LDR) is an active ingredient from Linderae radix , a traditional Chinese medicine with anti-inflammatory, analgesic, and antibacterial properties. In this study, the analgesic and antianxiety effects of LDR were evaluated using a complete Freund's adjuvant (CFA)-induced inflammatory pain model in C57BL/6 male mice...

BACKGROUND: Metatarsalgia and plantar plate tears are characterized by forefoot pain and toe deformity in severe cases. Conservative management may slow progression of symptoms; however, definitive treatment often requires operative intervention. The purpose of this observational study was to evaluate the combination of plantar condylectomy and surgical imbrication of the plantar plate to the metatarsal neck to repair grade 0 plantar plate injuries. METHODS: We retrospectively identified 22 patients with metatarsalgia and low-grade plantar plate lesions (grade 0), operated between 2018 and 2021, who underwent operative repair involving plantar metatarsal condylectomy and proximal surgical imbrication of the plantar plate to the metatarsal neck...

Suryansh Bajaj, Avneesh Chhabra, Atul Kumar Taneja
The ankle joint has complex anatomy with different tissue structures and is commonly involved in traumatic injuries. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is the primary imaging modality used to assess the soft tissue structures around the ankle joint including the ligaments, tendons, and articular cartilage. Two-dimensional (2D) fast spin echo/turbo spin echo (FSE/TSE) sequences are routinely used for ankle joint imaging. While the 2D sequences provide a good signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) and contrast-to-noise ratio (CNR) with high spatial resolution, there are some limitations to their use owing to the thick slices, interslice gaps leading to partial volume effects, limited fluid contrast, and the need to acquire separate images in different orthogonal planes...
