The association between chronic pain and metabolic syndrome: A scoping review.

Metabolic syndrome (MetS) is a prevalent comorbidity in patients with chronic pain conditions. Emerging evidence suggests that the relationship between MetS and chronic pain is bidirectional. This interplay involves complex mechanisms, including proinflammatory mediators in nociceptive modulation and pain-induced lifestyle changes affecting metabolic function.

Extended grain filling has potential to improve yield in grain sorghum.

Yield increase in sorghum has been achieved primarily by increasing grain number. Scope exists to increase yield by increasing grain size, however this has been limited by the negative correlation between grain size and grain number. Extending the duration of the grain filling period has potential to enable increased grain size without the trade-off with grain number.

Optimizing patient understanding of spine MRI reports using AI: A prospective single center study.

Background: Patient comprehension of spine MRI reports remains a significant challenge, potentially affecting healthcare engagement and outcomes. Artificial Intelligence (AI) may offer a solution for interpreting complex medical terminology into layman's terms language.

Objective: To evaluate the effectiveness of AI-based interpretation of spine MRI reports in improving patient comprehension and satisfaction.
