Overview of Ankle Arthropathy in Hereditary Hemochromatosis.

Hereditary hemochromatosis (HH) is an autosomal recessive bleeding disorder characterized by tissue overload of iron. Clinical systemic manifestations in HH include liver disease, cardiomyopathy, skin pigmentation, diabetes mellitus, erectile dysfunction, hypothyroidism, and arthropathy. Arthropathy with joint pain is frequently reported at diagnosis and mainly involves the metacarpophalangeal and ankle joints, and more rarely, the hip and knee. Symptoms in ankle joints are in most cases non-specific, and they can range from pain and swelling of the ankle to deformities and joint destruction.

Feasibility of whole body vibration during intensive chemotherapy in patients with hematological malignancies - a randomized controlled pilot study.

BackgroundHospitalized cancer patients undergoing intensive or high-dose chemotherapy often experience a considerable decline in functional performance associated with the increased risk of adverse health events. Exercises, particularly resistance-based exercises that may counteract this decline are restricted by therapy-related side effects. Since whole body vibration (WBV) is known to efficiently stimulate the neuromuscular system without significantly raising blood pressure, we hypothesize that especially WBV is particularly feasible even during intensive or high-dose chemotherapy (primary

The role of allogeneic platelet-rich plasma in patients with diabetic foot ulcer: Current perspectives and future challenges.

The frequency of chronic cutaneous wounds are sharply increasing in aging populations. Patients with age-related diseases, such as diabetes, tumors, renal failure and stroke are prone to soft tissue and skin injury, compounded by slowed healing in aging. Imbalance of wound inflammation, loss of growth factor secretion, and impairment of tissue repair abilities are all possible reasons for failed healing. Therefore, it is vital to explore novel approaches to accelerate wound healing. Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) as a cell therapy has been widely applied for tissue repair and regeneration. PRP pro
