This case study aims to report Korean medicine treatment's response to weakness and numbness in chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy (CIDP) patient. The patient received Korean medicine treatment during hospitalization, including Duhuo Jisheng Tang and pharmacoacupuncture. The assessment was performed using the Functional Independence Measure (FIM), Numeric Rating Scale (NRS) for numbness, and Oswestry Disability Index (ODI). After 21 days of treatment, the FIM improved from 82 to 126, NRS improved from 6 to 2, and ODI improved from 37 to 8. There were no side effects after receiving Korean medicine. This case suggests that Korean medicine treatment can induce treatment response for lower extremity weakness and numbness in CIDP patients.

The purpose of this case report is to introduce a case of immediate results with TMJ balancing therapy (TBT) in the treatment of chronic patellofemoral pain (PFP). A 17-year-old female patient with 4-month-old chronic knee pain that was unresponsive to conventional treatment was treated with TBT for a total of 5 sessions. The primary outcomes were evaluated using the Numeric Rating Scale (NRS) and the Korean version of the Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index (KWOMAC). Following the first treatment, the NRS decreased rapidly, and the KWOMAC improved after a total of five treatments. These findings suggest that TBT can be an effective pain management option for chronic PFP patients with temporomandibular joint malposition. However, as this study is a report of a single case, further research is necessary.

The purpose of this case report and review of the literature is to provide documentation on periprosthetic hip joint infection with Flavonifractor plautii (formerly known as Eubacterium plautii), a strictly anaerobic bacterium, and to report on a successful pathway for management including staged surgical revisions and extended antibiotic therapy. A systematic review of the literature was conducted, which identified this case as only the fifth documented case of human infection with this organism; as a result, conduct of further research is warranted, based on the paucity of reports in the literature addressing anaerobic periprosthetic joint infection.
