Rearfoot disorders are frequently encountered in clinical practice. We reviewed common rearfoot disorders and present conservative treatments, focusing on shoe modification and the application of insoles or orthoses. Achilles tendinopathy is caused by excessive mechanical loads on the gastrocnemius and soleus muscles. Heel lifts, rocker shoes, and the AirHeel Brace can be used to reduce symptoms. Haglund's deformity is an osseous prominence of the posterosuperior part of the calcaneus bone, the pain from which can be alleviated by reducing pressure on the affected area by appropriately modifying the back of the shoe to prevent contact with the lesion. The pain from retrocalcaneal bursitis can be controlled by lifting the heel and loosening the shoe counter. Plantar fasciitis causes plantar heel pain, and its orthotic treatments include the application of a heel cup, heel pad, heel wedge, Thomas heel, and night splint. Calcaneal stress fractures are generally caused by repetitive loads and occur mainly in sporting activities. Patellar tendon-bearing (PTB) orthoses are helpful in reducing the load on the calcaneal bone. Heel fat pad atrophy refers to the loss of the fat pad that absorbs shock in the heel. To reduce pain caused by heel fat pad atrophy, rocker soles, heel pads, and solid ankle cushion heels (SACHs) may be used. Tarsal tunnel syndrome is caused by compression of the tibial nerve within the tarsal tunnel and its symptoms can be managed by rocker soles, supporting medial arches, Thomas heels, and SACHs. Shoe modification or application of orthoses can be helpful for managing rearfoot pain. However, for the active and wide application of these conservative treatment methods, more clinical studies should be conducted.

Cytokines secreted from adipose tissues mediate tumor proliferation and metastasis in triple negative breast cancer.

Authors:
Kai Zhang Lin Chen Hongbo Zheng Yi Zeng

BMC Cancer 2022 Aug 13;22(1):886. Epub 2022 Aug 13.

Clinical Oncology School of Fujian Medical University, Fujian Cancer Hospital, No. 420 Fuma Road, Fuzhou, Fujian Province, 350014, China.

Background: Obesity is a high-risk factor for development and poor prognosis of triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC), which was considered as a high malignant and poor clinical outcome breast cancer subtype. TNBC proliferation and migration regulated by obesity is complex. Here, we studied effects of cytokines secreted from adipose tissue on development of TNBC. Read More

Anatomic, computed tomographic, and ultrasonographic assessment of the lymph nodes in presumed healthy adult cats: the abdomen, pelvis, and hindlimb.

Authors:
Mauricio Tobón Restrepo Rosa Novellas Adrià Aguilar Xavier Moll Yvonne Espada

Acta Vet Scand 2022 Aug 13;64(1):18. Epub 2022 Aug 13.

Departament de Medicina I Cirurgia Animals, Facultat de Veterinària, Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona, Travessera dels Turons, 08193, Bellaterra, Spain.

Background: The computed tomography (CT) and ultrasonography (US) features of lymph nodes of the abdomen, pelvis, and hindlimb in healthy cats are poorly described in the current literature. A prospective anatomic and reference interval study was therefore performed. The lymph nodes of six feline cadavers were identified, and dimensions were measured (length, width, and height).

Tech Coloproctol 2022 Aug 13. Epub 2022 Aug 13.

Department of Surgery, Randers Regional Hospital, Randers, Denmark.

Background: Pilonidal sinus disease (PSD) is a frequent disorder. Treatment failure and recurrence are common, leading to significant morbidity. The aim of this study was to investigate the impact and need for repeated treatment of injected autologous adipose tissue into non-healing PSD wounds and primary anal-near PSD or anal-near recurrence.

Heart Lung Circ 2022 Aug 10. Epub 2022 Aug 10.

The First Affiliated Hospital of Nanjing Medical University, Nanjing, China. Electronic address:

Background: Epicardial adipose tissue (EAT) around the left atrium (LA) can change the electric conduction of the LA, potentially leading to atrial fibrillation (AF).

Aim: The aim of this study was to evaluate whether an association existed between EAT and the electrophysiological properties of adjacent atrial myocardium in patients with AF.

Method: A total of 201 consecutive patients referred for initial AF catheter ablation were prospectively included. Read More

Lipid and Lipoprotein Metabolism.

Department of Medicine, University of California-San Francisco, San Francisco, California, 94117, USA. Electronic address:

The exogenous lipoprotein pathway starts with the incorporation of dietary lipids into chylomicrons in the intestine. Chylomicron triglycerides are metabolized in muscle and adipose tissue and chylomicron remnants are formed, which are removed by the liver. The endogenous lipoprotein pathway begins in the liver with the formation of very low-density lipoprotein particles (VLDL). Read More
