Systematic review of patients' experience with temporomandibular disorders.

Temporomandibular disorders (TMD) are a group of common conditions that can have significant detrimental impact on patients functional, emotional and social wellbeing. The aim of this systematic review is to collate and summarise the literature reporting patients' experience of TMD. This helps put the condition into the context of the patient themselves and their interaction with healthcare professionals.

Male hysteria in theory and practice: Analyzing patient records of the Tartu Psychiatric Hospital (Estonia), 1881-1895.

During 1881-1895, a small number of male patients-18 in total-were diagnosed with hysteria at the University of Tartu Psychiatric Hospital. Rather than constituting an obscure psychiatric institution on the margins of European medical traditions, Tartu during these years witnessed the arrival of several influential psychiatrists: Hermann Emminghaus (1845-1904), Emil Kraepelin (1856-1926), and Vladimir Chizh (1855-1922). Yet, when comparing patient case records of male hysteria written by doctors who also published journal articles and medical textbooks on the topic, one can detect a clear inconsistency between the theory and practice of psychiatry at an important moment of its formation.

Infrastructural Barriers to Neurosurgical Care of Brain Tumors in Low- and Middle-Income Countries: A Systematic Review.

Background: Appropriate surgical infrastructure is important for improving patient outcomes. However, low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) often struggle to provide adequate brain tumor surgery due to fractured infrastructure. This study aims to identify and evaluate barriers to surgical care infrastructure for brain tumors in LMICs.

Scoping review of qualitative data of patient experience and unmet needs following facial trauma.

Facial trauma is a common presentation to the emergency department, encompassing a spectrum from soft tissue injuries to fractures of the facial skeleton. Beyond the evident physical consequences, patients frequently face significant psychosocial issues, which are often overlooked in the recovery phase of treatment. The purpose of this review was to establish the experiences of patients following facial trauma using qualitative patient-reported data.

A Meta-Analysis of Medication Reduction and Motor Outcomes After Awake Versus Asleep Deep Brain Stimulation for Parkinson Disease.

Background And Objectives: There remains significant debate regarding the performance of deep brain stimulation (DBS) procedures for Parkinson disease (PD) under local or general anesthesia. The aim of this meta-analysis was to compare the clinical outcomes between "asleep" DBS (general anesthesia) and "awake" DBS (local anesthesia) for PD.

Methods: We conducted a comprehensive literature review of all published studies on DBS for PD following PRISMA guideline on PubMed and Cochrane library from January 2004 to April 2023.
