The authors evaluate the use of orthoses as a primary therapeutic means in the long-term management of patients with osteoarthritis of the foot and ankle. A comparison of the amount of pain relief experienced by 64 subjects (mean age 63 years) with different treatment regimens for osteoarthritis was made to determine the role orthoses played in helping to reduce or eliminate pain. One hundred percent of the subjects wearing orthoses only for relief of pain had a statistically significant longer period of pain relief than those on nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs. Fifty-five percent of the subjects using orthoses and nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug therapy also had a statistically significant longer period of pain relief than those receiving nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug therapy only.

Background. In recurrent wheezing infants, it is important to identify those likely to remain asthmatic in order to propose appropriate long-term management. Objective. To establish predictive factors for persistent asthma at adolescence in a population of recurrent wheezing infants. Methods. Retrospective study of 227 infants. Inclusion criteria were age under 36 months, a history of at least three wheezing episodes assessed via a doctor-led ISAAC questionnaire and a standardized allergy testing programme. At 13 years, active asthma was assessed by questionnaire. Results. Risk factors for asthma persisting into adolescence were allergic sensitization to multiple airborne allergens (OR 4.6, CI-95% (1.9–11.2) ), initial atopic dermatitis (OR 3.4, CI-95% (1.9–6.3) ), severe recurrent wheezing (OR 2.3, CI-95% (1.3–4.2) ), and hypereosinophilia ≥470/mm3 (OR 2.2, CI-95% (1.07–4.7) ). Conclusion. While it is still difficult to predict the long-term course of asthma, atopy remains the major risk factor for persistent asthma.
