Title: Efficacy of platelet-rich plasma versus corticosteroid injections in recovery from plantar fasciitis: A systematic review and meta-analysis Authors: Aleid, Abdulsalam Mohammed; Alyabis, Nouf Abdullah; Aldanyowi, Saud Nayef; dkk. Abstract: Introduction: Chronic plantar fasciitis (CPF) is a degenerative condition causing persistent heel pain, making clinical management challenging. Among treatment options, the comparative effectiveness of platelet-rich plasma (PRP) and corticosteroid injections (CSIs) remains unclear. This systematic review and meta-analysis evaluate their impact on pain relief and functional improvement. Methods: Following PRISMA guidelines, this review analyzed eight studies involving 599 participants. Pain and function were assessed using the Visual Analog Scale (VAS) and the American Orthopaedic Foot & Ankle Society (AOFAS) score. Study quality was evaluated using the Risk of Bias 2 tool, and both common- and random-effects models were applied. Results: Pain relief results were mixed. The common-effects model favored PRP (MD ¼ 0.7166), but the random-effects model showed no significant difference (MD ¼ 0.4657). For functional improvement, both models indicated PRP as superior (AOFAS score: MD ¼ 16.13, 95% CI [14.70, 17.55]), with moderate variability (I2 ¼ 48.7%). Conclusions: PRP shows promise in improving function and potentially providing better pain relief compared to CSIs for CPF. While study variability requires careful interpretation, PRP’s functional benefits support its potential as a valuable treatment. Further research with standardized protocols and diverse populations is needed to confirm its clinical effectiveness.

Title: Polymorphisms in SOX2/FGFR1 are associated with skeletal class III maxillary and mandibular dimensions: A preliminary study Authors: Bahya, Aqeel M.; Abid, Mushriq F.; Aljohani, Khalid A.; Porntaveetus, Thantrira Abstract: Objectives: The aim of the present study was to assess the association between class III malocclusion and genetic polymorphisms in two genes: SOX2 (rs4434184) and FGFR1 (rs881301). Methods: A total of 60 patients, 30 with skeletal class I and 30 with skeletal class III malocclusion, were included in this study. Salivary DNA samples were collected and analyzed with Sanger sequencing. Digital tracing was performed on lateral cephalometric radiographs loaded into AutoCAD software (Version 2017) to assess the anteroposterior and vertical relationships of the maxillary and mandibular arches. Genotype distribution was compared between groups with the chi-square test to assess HardyeWeinberg equilibrium. Multiple logistic regression analysis was conducted. Results: The SOX2 rs4434184 polymorphism was associated with longer mandibular length. In contrast, shorter maxillary length, longer mandibular length, and hypodivergent face were correlated with the rs881301 polymorphism in FGFR1. New polymorphisms, including FGFR1 rs881300, rs881299, and rs7829058, have been identified in association with various phenotypes. Notably, rs881300 and rs7829058 displayed a substantial association with skeletal class III, whereas rs881299 revealed a significant association with a hypodivergent face and longer mandibular anteroposterior length. Conclusions: A potential association was observed between class III skeletal malocclusion-related traits and polymorphisms of SOX2 (rs4434184) and FGFR1 (rs881301, rs881300, rs881299, and rs7829058). This finding holds promise for enhancing skeletal prediction and informing orthodontic treatment planning.
