Cushioned Insoles for First Metatarsophalangeal Joint Osteoarthritis: Protocol for the SOLE Randomised Controlled Trial

Journal of Foot and Ankle Research, Volume 19, Issue 3, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Introduction First metatarsophalangeal (MTP) joint osteoarthritis (OA) is a common and disabling condition that causes substantial pain and impairs quality of life. Cushioned insoles have the potential to lower plantar pressures beneath the hallux and possibly reduce pain, but their clinical effectiveness has not been investigated.

Cannabidiol reduces atypical absence seizures and epileptic spasms in a Gabrb3+/D120N mouse model of Lennox–Gastaut syndrome

Epilepsia Open, Volume 11, Issue 4, Page 1263-1275, August 2026.
Abstract Objective Lennox–Gastaut syndrome (LGS) is a drug‐resistant developmental and epileptic encephalopathy (DEE). Preclinical drug development for LGS is constrained by a lack of syndrome‐relevant animal models. We aimed to evaluate a Gabrb3+/D120N knock‐in (KI) mouse model of LGS by quantifying atypical absence seizures and epileptic spasms and ...
