Indication and Technical Consideration for Nerve Blocks and Neurolysis for Pain Control.

Pain management in interventional radiology (IR) encompasses a variety of advanced image-guided techniques to deliver minimally invasive treatments for various pain conditions. Key procedures include nerve blocks and neurolysis, which target specific nerves to provide substantial pain relief. Effective pain management in IR relies on a thorough understanding of regional anatomy, precise technique, and careful administration of local anesthetics, neurolytic agents, and corticosteroids.

Burden of illness of non-hematopoietic stem cell transplant-related hepatic sinusoidal obstruction syndrome: A systematic review.

Background: Sinusoidal obstruction syndrome (SOS)/veno-occlusive disease (VOD) is generally associated with hematopoietic cell transplant (HCT), but little is known about this condition outside the HCT setting. This systematic review examines the burden of illness and current management approaches in non-HCT SOS/VOD.

Methods: We searched Embase, Medline, and grey literature sources for non-HCT SOS/VOD studies published 2002-2023.

Trends in the Incidence of Brain Cancer: An Observational Study.

Introduction: Brain cancer is a serious global health problem, leading to increasing mortality and morbidity. Understanding the risk factors is crucial in early diagnosis and treatment. This retrospective cohort study thus aimed at assessing the temporal trends in the incidence of brain cancer based on age, gender, and race from 1999-2020.

Expanding the Connection Between Cognition and Illness Intrusiveness in Multiple Sclerosis.

Background: Multiple sclerosis (MS) disease factors, such as cognitive impairment, can cause disruptions in meaningful activities, also known as illness intrusiveness. Although the association between specific objective measures of cognition and illness intrusiveness has been documented in MS, the contributions of individuals' perceptions of their cognition or whether any psychological factors can buffer the relationship have yet to be explored. This study aimed to (1) simultaneously examine objective processing speed and subjective cognition as disease factors contributing to illness intrusiveness and (2) explore whether resilience moderates the relationship between cognition and illness intrusiveness.

Clinicopathologic findings in a cohort of metastases to the stomach.

Aims: Metastatic tumors to the stomach can mimic primary gastric adenocarcinoma or be subtle and difficult to identify. The current study aimed to characterize the clinicopathology of metastases to the stomach to aid in diagnosis.

Methods And Results: Forty-three metastatic tumors and 30 primary gastric adenocarcinoma cases were reviewed.
