Feasibility of Designing, Manufacturing and Delivering 3D Printed Ankle‐Foot Orthoses: An Updated Systematic Review

Journal of Foot and Ankle Research, Volume 18, Issue 4, December 2025.
ABSTRACT Background Ankle‐foot orthoses (AFOs) are commonly prescribed to manage lower limb impairments, especially foot drop in neurological disorders. With the evolution of 3D technology, digital acquisition using 3D scanning and modelling using computer aided design software is becoming more commonplace to produce AFOs.

Thrombolytic Therapy for Massive Pulmonary Embolism in an Antiphospholipid Syndrome Patient With Severe Thrombocytopenia: A Case Report

Clinical Case Reports, Volume 13, Issue 11, November 2025.
ABSTRACT Thrombocytopenia (TCP) is a well‐known contraindication for thrombolytic therapy due to the associated risk of bleeding. This report discusses a 34‐year‐old woman presented with massive pulmonary embolism (PE) and severe TCP. She was treated with systemic thrombolysis (ST), and fortunately, a good therapeutic response was achieved without ...
