“…Several electrophysiological, ultrasonographic, Electroneuromyography (ENMG) and histological techniques are also developed and adapted to diagnose PNL (80,81). Subsequently, many other sensitive techniques have been used previously or in development that can be updated and further used as a point of care tools in the laboratory as well as field settings as diagnostic tools such as variants of PCR (8,24,71,72,82), colorimetric assays (83), Biomarkers (66), Filter paper (84), peptide-nucleic-acid-ELISA (85,86), reverse line probe (87), synthetic peptide reagents (88)(89)(90), Ultrasonography (50)(51)(52), Fingerstick test (91), Electrochemical biosensors (53), LAMP (61)(62)(63), MRI (54)(55)(56), LF Assays (92,93), Fluorescent staining (47)(48)(49) and Artificial Intelligence to combat leprosy (44,45). Here we will be discussing budding techniques that have the potential to be used in the field settings easily.…”

Leprosy is a public health issue, and early detection is critical to avert disability. Despite the global attempt to eradicate this disease as a public health problem, it remains an important cause of global neurological disability. India, Brazil and Indonesia share more than 70% of the cases. The reduction of new cases is a priority in the WHO global strategy 2021-2030 which aims to reduce disease transmission in the community by diagnosing cases and identifying subclinical infection. The clinical manifestations of leprosy range from a few to several lesions. The identification remains difficult due to the limited sensitivity of traditional approaches based on bacillary counts of skin smears and histology. To aid in the diagnosis of this disease, molecular biology, and biotechnological technologies have been applied, each with its own set of benefits and downsides despite providing an essential tool to validate the clinical diagnosis of leprosy. Because of this, it is strongly recognized that specific, inexpensive point of care technologies should be developed, particularly to identify asymptomatic M. leprae infections or leprosy nearer to the suspected cases seeking medical attention. Thus, this review will provide an overview of the advancements in leprosy diagnosis over the world. The purpose of this review is to improve our understanding of the outcomes of current tests and technologies used in leprosy diagnosis and to emphasize critical aspects concerning the detection of leprosy bacilli.

“…Compression of the radial nerve and its branches can be caused by ganglion cysts, bicipitoradial bursitis, trauma with radial head dislocation, repetitive movements of supination and pronation, infectious diseases, and tumours [ 85 – 87 ]. Treatment of non-tumoral causes begins with immobilisation, analgesics, and physiotherapy, followed by surgical decompression in refractory cases, which has shown good clinical outcomes [ 88 ].…”

Elbow pain can cause disability, especially in athletes, and is a common clinical complaint for both the general practitioner and the orthopaedic surgeon. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is an excellent tool for the evaluation of joint pathology due to its high sensitivity as a result of high contrast resolution for soft tissues. This article aims to describe the normal imaging anatomy and biomechanics of the elbow, the most commonly used MRI protocols and techniques, and common MRI findings related to tendinopathy, ligamentous and osteochondral injuries, and instability of the elbow.
