We performed an epidemiological investigation of subjects with premenstrual dysphoric disorder (PMDD) to identify the clinical distribution of the major syndromes and symptoms. The pathogenesis of PMDD mainly involves the dysfunction of liver conveyance and dispersion. Excessive liver conveyance and dispersion are associated with liver-qi invasion syndrome, while insufficient liver conveyance and dispersion are expressed as liver-qi depression syndrome. Additionally, a nonconditional logistic regression was performed to analyze the symptomatic features of liver-qi invasion and liver-qi depression. As a result of this analysis, two subtypes of PMDD are proposed, namely, excessive liver conveyance and dispersion (liver-qi invasion syndrome) and insufficient liver conveyance and dispersion (liver-qi depression syndrome). Our findings provide an epidemiological foundation for the clinical diagnosis and treatment of PMDD based on the identification of different types.

Peripheral Nerve Blockade

A sclerotome is an anatomical concept that defines an area of bone supplied by a single spinal nerve. Similar to the familiar dermatomes, sclerotomes provide an element of depth to the sensory innervation of the lower extremity based on the deep fascia as an embryologic boundary. Anatomical knowledge of sclerotomes can be used clinically in the diagnosis and treatment of pain and in the perioperative setting. Specifically, a modified version of the classic Mayo block is presented to highlight an active anatomical approach to peripheral nerve blockade. (J Am Podiatr Med Assoc 99(3): 232–235, 2009)

Disease Entity

Malignant melanoma, the leading cause of death from disease of the skin, often is found on the lower extremity. A thorough understanding of the disease entity is essential, because misdiagnosis or delayed diagnosis can be fatal. In Part I of this two-part clinical and surgical review of malignant melanoma, the authors discussed etiology, risk factors, signs, symptoms, clinical features, and growth patterns. Part II places special emphasis on diagnosing malignant melanoma and differentiating it from other lesions of the lower extremity. Clinical staging of the tumor and the corresponding surgical criteria are presented from a podiatric medical standpoint.

Vkh Disease

A case of myelitis following Vogt-Koyanagi-Harada (VKH) disease is reported, in which diagnosis and treatment were delayed. A 43-year-old male patient diagnosed with VKH disease presented at the Spine Centre of Yeungnam University Hospital, Daegu, Republic of Korea, with motor weakness, sensory deficit in both lower extremities, and dysuria for the previous 3 months. VKH disease had been diagnosed 15 months previously, based on vision loss in both eyes and the presence of bilateral nontraumatic granulomatous iridocyclitis, exudates, and retinal oedema. The patient exhibited severe motor weakness (right lower extremity, Medical Research Council (MRC) muscle scale, grade 2–0; left lower extremity, MRC grade 0). On cervical magnetic resonance imaging, a high-intensity T2 signal was observed in the spinal cord C4–C7 segments. Cerebrospinal fluid analysis revealed slightly elevated white blood cell counts. The patient was diagnosed with myelitis complicating VKH disease. Intravenous and oral corticosteroid therapy was administered. After steroid treatment, the patient’s motor function in the right lower extremity was significantly improved (MRC grade 4–3). However, the left lower extremity did not show any improvement (MRC grade 0). To achieve a good treatment outcome, the diagnosis and treatment of myelitis in VKH disease should not be delayed.
