Psychedelics for Cancer Pain and Associated Psychological Distress: A Narrative Review of a Potential Strategy.

Purpose: To evaluate the current level of evidence for the use of psychedelics for the management of cancer pain and associated psychological distress.

Content: Pain is a common symptom of cancer and treatment. However, there are high rates of undertreatment of cancer pain due to the complex underlying biology of the condition, and potentially due to a decrease in opioid prescribing in response to the opioid epidemic.

Assessing Kinesiophobia and Catastrophizing Patient-Reported Outcomes in a Randomized Controlled Trial: Efficacy of Capacitive-Resistive Monopolar Radiofrequency Combined with Myofascial Techniques vs. Sham Radiofrequency in Chronic Pelvic Pain Syndrome-A Secondary Analysis.

Introduction And Hypothesis: Chronic Pelvic Pain Syndrome causes psychological distress, worsened by kinesiophobia and pain catastrophizing. This study assesses whether combining capacitive-resistive monopolar radiofrequency with myofascial techniques is more effective than myofascial techniques alone for improving psychological outcomes such as kinesiophobia and catastrophizing.

Methods: This double-blind, randomized controlled trial enrolled 81 chronic pelvic pain syndrome patients (67.

Cardio-respiratory values during recovery from exercise in soccer Spanish leagues.

Objective: In this cross-sectional study, we compared Spanish division one (n  =  114) and division two (n  =  80) soccer players in terms of their cardio-respiratory response during recovery following a maximum laboratory effort test.

Approach: Following the maximum laboratory effort protocol, we measured oxygen consumption ([Formula: see text]), heart rate (HR), and ventilation ([Formula: see text]) during recovery.

Main Results: Over the first 60 s of recovery, no significant differences were seen in either [Formula: see text] (28.

What is normal bladder neck anatomy?

Introduction And Hypothesis: Functional anatomy of the bladder neck and proximal urethra has been studied extensively because of the belief that it is important for urinary continence. The aim of this study was to explore the limits of normality for pelvic floor ultrasound parameters of bladder neck and urethral mobility associated with stress urinary incontinence (SUI) and urodynamic stress incontinence (USI).

Methods: A retrospective study was conducted on 589 women seen for urodynamic testing in a tertiary urogynaecology clinic.

Urodynamic approach to female urinary incontinence refractory to treatment with anticholinergics.

Objectives: The administration of empirical anticholinergic treatment is widespread in women with urinary incontinence and has produced varied results. The objective of our paper is to determine the effectiveness of anticholinergics for the treatment of female urinary incontinence and to determine by urodynamics the possible causes that may explain the resistance to anticholinergics to obtain urodynamic predictors of success or failure.

Methods: We evaluated 182 women over 14 years of age with urinary incontinence that had previously been treated with anticholinergics for at least three months.
