All Podiatrists should be able to recognise suspected Malignant Melanoma (Ursula Igoe, 29 January 2011)
This is a very useful article & I believe that there has not been enough research undertaken about recognising Plantar or Subungal Malignant Melanoma. Whilst practicing over the past 8 years, I have recognised 2 cases of Malignant Melanoma both of which were on the lower leg. In both cases I urged the Patients to see their Gp's urgently, who referred the patients for excision of the lesion. In both cases the MM was caught early before metastisising, with a good prognosis. I graduated from Huddersfield University & I am grateful,that, during my training, it was emphasised how to recognise Malignant Melanoma.

Corrections to additional files 2 and 3 (Bill Vicenzino, 13 April 2010)
The authors would like to highlight to readers the following corrections to additional files 2 and 3: Additional file 2: ST stance average for the difference between tape and pre-tape conditions is missing a minus sign and should read -0.4 (-0.8 to -0.1) Additional file 3: : Knee sagittal minimum for the difference between post-tape and pre-tape conditions is missing a minus sign and should read -0.5 (-0.9 to -0.2)
Need for custom orthotics vs. prefabricated orthotics (Eddie Davis, 02 March 2010)
I agree that prefabricated orthotics can provide a similar therapeutic benefit to custom orthotics in a number of scenarios. I wore eyeglasses with a very high degree of correction before I underwent refractive surgery in 2006. Now, I need wear only reading glasses obtained from a retail store. Recently, I had an eye exam and the optometrist informed me that I would do somewhat better with a prescription pair. I obtained the prescription pair but did not feel it worked as well as the "prefab" pair.
I prescribe three categories of foot orthotics in my practice: prefabricated, customized prefabricated and true custom orthotics. The decision as to which category to choose is based, in part, upon the nature of the prescription required by the patient. My heel pain/plantar fasciitis...
