Article Synopsis
- Migraine affects 10% of the global population and is a major cause of disability, with myofascial trigger points (MTrPs) linked to both migraines and psychological issues like anxiety and depression.
- A study with 68 migraine patients aimed to explore the relationship between MTrPs, migraine-related disability, anxiety, and depression by utilizing standard scales for assessments.
- Results revealed a positive correlation between the number of MTrPs and headache severity, and patients with higher anxiety levels had more MTrPs, suggesting that addressing both physical and mental health issues could lead to better migraine treatment approaches.
Objective: This study aims to characterize the demographic, clinical, and radiological features of gunshot wound (GSW) patients as well as identify predictors of prolonged hospitalization.
Methods: In this retrospective study, a consecutive sampling method was used, including all patients with GSWs in any anatomical region. Data collection included demographic and clinical information, radiological findings, treatment specifics, and outcome variables, such as hospitalization length of stay (LOS) as the primary outcome.
Article Synopsis
- Telling patients bad news, like a cancer diagnosis, is really important for doctors, but in Iran, sometimes families get in the way of that.
- A study looked at what family members of both cancer patients and non-cancer patients think about sharing bad news with patients.
- Most people believe patients should know their diagnosis, but families often want to be told first, showing that it's important to teach families about respecting the patient's right to know.
Identifying a reliable biomarker may accelerate diagnosis of multiple sclerosis (MS) and lead to early management of the disease. Accumulating evidence suggest that cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) and peripheral blood concentration of osteopontin (OPN) may have diagnostic and prognostic value in MS. We conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis of studies that measured peripheral blood and CSF levels of OPN in MS patients and controls to evaluate the diagnostic potential of this biomarker better.
