Over the past few years, there has been a noticeable surge in efforts to design novel tools and approaches that incorporate Artificial Intelligence (AI) into rehabilitation of persons with lower-limb impairments, using robotic exoskeletons. The potential benefits include the ability to implement personalized rehabilitation therapies by leveraging AI for robot control and data analysis, facilitating personalized feedback and guidance. Despite this, there is a current lack of literature review specifically focusing on AI applications in lower-limb rehabilitative robotics...

Primary erythromelalgia (PEM) is a rare condition characterized by severe burning pain, erythema, and increased temperature in the extremeties. Mutations in the Nav1.7 sodium channel encoded by the SCN9A are responsible for PEM. The pathophysiology of PEM is unclear, but the involvement of neurogenic and vasogenic mechanisms has been suggested. Here we report a case of severe PEM in a 9-year-old child with a novel SCN9A mutation and examine the distribution of nerve fibers and expression of neuropeptides in the affected skin...

Playing-related musculoskeletal disorders are frequently found in the upper extremety and the spine. Moreover, orofacial pain syndromes and craniomandibular dysfunctions are important in upper string players and wind players. The treatment of musicians is based on a diagnostic process including the evaluation of specific musical aspects, a functional manual medicine examination and an evaluation of postural and movement characteristics while playing the musical instrument.

BACKGROUND: Total en bloc spondylectomy (TES) significantly decreases the rate of local recurrence and provides long-term survival in patients with malignant tumor of the spine. This procedure can be performed through a posterior-only approach. However, TES for lower lumbar spine through a posterior-only approach is technically challenging. METHODS: We retrospectively reviewed 9 patients with solitary metastatic tumors of the fourth lumbar spine who underwent TES in a posterior-only approach from June 2012 to December 2015...

INTRODUCTION: Leiomyosarcoma is a highly malignant soft tissue sarcoma. Most leiomyosarcomas of the extremities metastasize initially to the lungs, with few metastasizing to the liver. Also, it is difficult to diagnose metastases to other regions of the lung during follow-up. CASE PRESENTATION: The first patient was a 51-year-old Japanese woman diagnosed with a leiomyosarcoma of the left distal femur. She underwent chemotherapy, followed by wide tumor excision and reconstruction using frozen autograft with total knee arthroplasty...

Cushing's syndrome requires glucocorticoid replacement following adrenalectomy. Based on a simplified glucocorticoid therapy scheme and the peri-operative observation, we investigated its efficacy and safety up to 6 months post-adrenalectomy in this cohort study. We found the adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) levels were normal post-adrenalectomy, and sufficient to stimulate the recovery of the dystrophic adrenal cortex, thus exogenous supplemental ACTH might not be necessary. Patients were grouped by oral reception of either hydrocortisone or prednisone since day 2 post-adrenalectomy...

The lower-extremity vascular injuries and neuropathy are the most salient complications of diabetes which could lead to the poor prognosis, especially for the type II diabetes. The lower extremity vascular injuries and neuropathy usually coexist, yet their correlation in the pathogenesis of lower extremity lesions has received little attention in previous studies. To investigate the correlation between the degree of lower-extremity arterial injuries and lower-extremity neurological functional status in patients with type II diabetes, 32 patients with type II diabetes were examined for the mean flow velocity of the femoral artery and popliteal artery of lower extremeties, while the motor nerve conduction velocity (MCV) and sensory nerve conduction velocity (SCV) of the bilateral common peroneal nerve, sural nerve and posterior tibial nerve were simultaneously examined...

Erythromelagia is a condition characterized by attacks of burning pain and inflammation in the extremeties. An epidemic form of this syndrome occurs in secondary students in rural China and a virus referred to as erythromelalgia-associated poxvirus (ERPV) was reported to have been recovered from throat swabs in 1987. Studies performed at the time suggested that ERPV belongs to the orthopoxvirus genus and has similarities with ectromelia virus, the causative agent of mousepox. We have determined the complete genome sequence of ERPV and demonstrated that it has 99...
