Methods: We studied CT scans of 54 patients. Of this total, 37 (29 women and 8 men) had degenerative type and 17 (7 women and 10 men) had spondylolytic type. Results: In the degenerative spondylolisthesis group, the average diameter of the spinal canal at the injured vertebra level was 17.35 mm and 17.64 mm for the upper vertebra level. The average diameter of the foramen at the level of the affected vertebra was 14.61 mm to left side and 15.00 mm to the right side. The average diameter of the foramen at the upper vertebra level was 16.82 mm to the left side and 16.51 mm to the right side. In the spondylolytic group, the average diameter of the spinal canal at the level of the affected vertebra was 23.25 mm and at the upper vertebra level was 18.66 mm. The average diameter of the foramen at the level of the affected vertebra was 11.98...

Research paper thumbnail of Compressive neuropathy of the first branch of the lateral plantar nerve: a study by magnetic resonance imaging

Materials and Methods: Retrospective, analytical, and cross-sectional study. The authors selected magnetic resonance imaging of hindfoot of 90 patients with grade IV abductor digiti quinti muscle atrophy according to Goutallier and Bernageau classification. Patients presenting with minor degrees of fatty muscle degeneration (below grade IV) and those who had been operated on for nerve decompression were excluded. Results: A female prevalence (78.8%) was observed, and a strong correlation was found between fatty muscle atrophy and plantar fasciitis in 21.2%, and ankle varices, in 16.8% of the patients. Conclusion: Fatty atrophy of the abductor digiti quinti muscle is stron...

Faecal Parasitology by the Kato-Katz method and clinical examination were performed in 93.8% and 82.8% of the local population, respectively. A socioeconomic survey was also made and the signs and symptoms presented by the patients were recorded, as well as their contacts with natural waters. The rate of Schistosoma mansoni infection was 50.3%; the peak of infection occurred during the second decade of life; there was a predominance of low egg counts in faeces (85.89% of positive patients eliminated less than 500 eggs per gram of faeces); the splenomegaly rate was 1.23%. When the risk factors for S. mansoni infection were studied, significant risks were detected in activities such as fetching water, washing dishes, bathing, and crossing streams.

Research paper thumbnail of Prevalence of ankle accessory muscles: a cross-sectional study

Journal of the Foot & Ankle

In addition, better understand the association with accessory muscle and types of pain, mechanical due to compression forces around ankle structures or neuropathic due to mass effect around the tarsal tunnel. Methods: The MRIs obtained from 2007 to 2017 were retrospectively studied and analyzed by a radiologist specializing in foot and ankle pathologies. A total of 9,600 scans were studied after ankle pain; 31 scans had at least one accessory muscle. Results: The prevalence of symptomatic accessory muscle was 0.32% (31 feet). It was found due to mechanical pain in 45.2% of cases. It was considered an incidental finding in 32.3%. Tarsal syndrome was the main clinical presentation in 19.4%, and 16% had other causes of mechanical disorders: 10% with peroneal tendinitis, 3% with Achi...
