 A recent study in Diabetes Research and Clinical Practice took a look at the relationship between wear and tear of therapeutic footwear and the risk of ulcer recurrence in patients with diabetes. A 5-year prospective study took place with 115 patients in remission from a diabetic foot ulcer. Those patients’ therapeutic footwear underwent evaluation at 3-month intervals until ulcer recurrence.

Osteoarthritis (OA), the most common form of arthritis, is commonly known as wear-and-tear arthritis. It is a growing epidemic as the world’s population ages. OA is a known risk factor for falls in older adults, making OA management a public health goal. Researchers in Taiwan wanted to better understand the association between acupuncture therapy, which has been around for centuries, and the risk of fracture in Taiwanese patients with OA.

The concept of person-centred care is embedded within healthcare policy, focusing on long-term conditions and multimorbidity. The evidence that person-centred care is being operationalised effectively across all areas of healthcare is limited.

Fixed dystonia secondary to complex regional pain syndrome is a rare condition, which is usually triggered by a traumatic injury. Complete remission of complex regional pain syndrome dystonia rarely occurs due to the complex nature of the pathology and limited treatment options.

Diagnosis of Onychomycosis: From Conventional Techniques and Dermoscopy and PCR to Artificial Intelligence

Onychomycosis is a common fungal nail infection. Like most infections, accurate diagnosis is critical to deciding on the optimal course of treatment. As differential diagnosis may be difficult when based on appearance +/- clinical history alone, the use of a confirmatory laboratory test may be required to make an accurate diagnosis and treatment plan. Conventional diagnostic testing primarily consists of the potassium hydroxide test with in vitro culture to detect fungal species within nails. The success rate of this test, however, is limited by a high rate of false negative results. With the development of novel diagnostic tests, which use dermoscopy, reflectance confocal microscopy, artificial intelligence and PCR based modalities, the success rate of onychomycosis detection has increased. In this presentation Dr. Van-Ham will evaluate the current landscape of diagnostic techniques for onychomycosis, the role of novel technologies in clinical practice, and will share some insights from her current ongoing research and new developments.
