Acral lentiginous melanoma only accounts for only two to 10 percent of all reported melanoma types. Although the term “lentiginous” often refers to the typical dark coloration of the pathology, the dark coloration is not always a clinical finding, as multiple studies report amelanotic lesions, as well. Therefore, it is pertinent for every practitioner to give due diligence to any suspicious lesion and to know the key findings that may help differentiate a serious lesion from one that is more benign.

Three-fourths of all strokes occur in adults older than 65 and as age increases, stroke occurrence is greater in women than men due to life expectancy. However, mean age for stroke has decreased recently, such that the term ‘young stroke’ has been used to account for the burden of disease associated with years that individuals live with stroke-related disability impacting daily living activities and participation in parenting and employment social roles.

Patellofemoral pain (PFP) affects one-third of adolescents and can persist into adulthood, negatively impacting health and quality of life. Foot orthoses are a recommended treatment for adults with PFP, but have not been evaluated in adolescents. The primary objective was to determine the feasibility of conducting a full-scale randomised controlled trial (RCT) evaluating effects of contoured, prefabricated foot orthoses on knee pain severity and patient-perceived global change, compared to flat insoles.

Footwear plays an essential role in protecting the foot from trauma and facilitating efficient and pain-free movement when performing a wide range of routine, occupational, recreational, and sporting activities. The selection of footwear is influenced by economic, cultural and functional factors, with comfort frequently being reported as one of the most important considerations in a range of settings. Comfort can be defined as the state of being physically relaxed and free from pain, although the mere absence of pain does not fully constitute the positive state of being comfortable.
