  • A Case Report on Charcot-Marie-Tooth Disease with a Novel Periaxin Gene Mutation
    Open Access Case Report DOI: 10.7759/cureus.5111 A Case Report on Charcot-Marie-Tooth Disease with a Novel Periaxin Gene Mutation Sorabh Datta 1 , Saurabh Kataria 1 , Raghav Govindarajan 1 1. Neurology, University of Missouri, Columbia, USA Corresponding author: Sorabh Datta, [email protected] Abstract Charcot-Marie-Tooth (CMT) disease is one of the most common primary hereditary neuropathies causing peripheral neuropathies. More than 60 different gene mutations are causing this disease. The PRX gene codes for Periaxin proteins that are expressed by Schwann cells and are necessary for the formation and maintenance of myelination of peripheral nerves. Dejerine-Sottas neuropathy and Charcot-Marie-Tooth type 4F (CMT4F) are the two different clinical phenotypes observed in association with PRX gene mutation. This article describes a case of an elderly male with a novel mutation involving the PRX gene. Categories: Genetics, Internal Medicine, Neurology Keywords: neurology, sensorimotor neuropathy, congenital, gene expression, genetic mutation, protein, pes cavus, demyelinating diseases, charcot-marie-tooth, autosomal recessive disorder Introduction As per the Dyck classification in the year 1970, primary hereditary neuropathies are divided into hereditary motor sensory neuropathy (HMSN) and hereditary sensory autonomic neuropathy (HSAN) [1]. Charcot- Marie-Tooth (CMT) disease is a type of HMSN with an estimated prevalence of 1 in 2,500 [2]. CMT can follow autosomal recessive (ARCMT), X-linked recessive, and also an autosomal dominant pattern. CMT type 4 is a rapidly increasing ARCMT disease form in HMSN, although CMT type 1 and 2 still account for the most substantial proportion of the patient population [3]. CMT4F is a severe, demyelinating subtype of CMT type 4 and is characterized by childhood onset of slowly progressing weakness in the distal muscles associated with atrophy.

The joint where the toe joins the foot will also continue to move. 1 Fitter Feet For life. 34 North Street. London SW40HD 0207 627 4901 Fitter Feet For Life 1. K-Wire Arthrodesis. Traditionally hammer toe correction is performed by arthrodesis surgery using K-Wires. The procedure is successful in most cases and has been performed for many years. The deformed joint is removed and the bone ends are secured together with a K-wire which protrudes though the tip of the toe. The foot must be kept dry, dressed and the k-wire protected in a post operative shoe for six weeks after the operation.

  • Hammertoes Shaped Like a “Hammer”
    Hammertoe is the name given to a toe, which “curls” and Hammertoes shaped like a “hammer”. It can develop in the second, third or fourth toes, however is most common in the second toe. Hammertoes are classified as flexible or rigid. The flexible hammertoe joint allows movement and the rigid hammertoe has limited movement and can become very painful. The longer you have a hammer toe the more rigid and “curly” the deformity can become. Symptoms Corns and calluses often form on the hammertoe because the deformed toe constantly is rubbing against the shoe. Other signs include calluses under the balls of the feet, cramping and weakness. Sometimes a painful area can develop between toes or on the other side of the toe. Hammertoe treatment is dependent on the severity of the deformity. Sometimes hammertoes can be prevented from developing further by a shoe insert called an orthotic. Reducing pain and pressure may involve footwear that has plenty of room in the toe area and using hammertoe pads. Because tendons have tightened in the development of the hammertoe, stretching exercises can be helpful. If the deformity is severe surgery may be considered. Aging Causes Flat feet Nerve damage resulting from diabetes, stroke or arthritis Poor fitting shoes and high heels You can avoid many foot problems with shoes that fit What can I do? properly. Here’s what to look for when buying shoes Adequate toe space – avoid shoes with pointed toes Low heels- provide better balance and avoids back problems Adjustability – laced or Velcro shoes can be expanded as your feet swell throughout the day Breathability – avoid vinyl or plastic shoes, these do not breathe when your feet perspire Buy shoes at midday- your feet expand during the day Measure both feet while standing – your shoe size will change as you age – especially the width Clients with diabetes or poor circulations are encouraged to seek professional help.

Gopal2 1Research Scholar, Department of Mechanical Engineering, SRM University, Kattankulathur, India [email protected] 2Professor, Department of Mechanical Engineering, SRM University, Kattankulathur, India [email protected] Abstract—Clubfoot referred as congenital talipes equinovarus (CTEV) is a congenital deformity that twists the foot, ankle, and toes. Left untreated in the early stage, it may lead to lifetime disability. With no proper treatment, the child born with clubfoot cannot walk, run or play. Clubfoot, the most common congenital physical disabilities worldwide, known to occur between 1 and 3 in every 1,000 live births worldwide with evidence of higher rates in developing nations. In a year, over 220,000 children are born with clubfoot in developing countries. In India, more than 50,000 children are born with Clubfoot every year. The most preferred type of clubfoot treatment is the use of braces or orthosis. This study deals with the design and development of an external aid for treating children with clubfoot. The virtual model of an orthosis and the clubfoot is made using computer aided design. Then the assembly is then analyzed for predicting the growth pattern in the foot. Keyword-Clubfoot, Finite element analysis, orthosis I. INTRODUCTION The human foot contains 26 bones, 33 joints and over 100 muscles, ligaments and tendons [1] as shown in Fig. 1. The foot is a most complex structure that provides support, flexibility, balance and stability during gait and weight bearing [2].
