Article Synopsis
- Notalgia paresthetica (NP) is a chronic skin condition characterized by itching and other uncomfortable sensations like pain and tingling, primarily caused by nerve issues from spinal problems or muscle compression.
- Current treatments for NP vary in effectiveness, with no clear best option; however, topical capsaicin has shown the most promise.
- The absence of solid treatment guidelines complicates management of NP, impacting patients' quality of life, highlighting the need for more comprehensive research in this area.
Background: Chronic back and neck pain affects 20% of Americans. Spinal cord stimulation (SCS) is an effective therapy for otherwise refractory chronic pain. Traditional SCS relies on low-frequency stimulus in the 40 - 60 Hz range causing robust paresthesia in regions overlapping with painful dermatomes.

Methods: In addition to bibliometric information for all articles published in Anesthesiology between 1941 and 2010 and Anesthesia & Analgesia between 1931 and 2010, we also collected information about the country, continent, and medical school or institution from which the articles were submitted.
Results: The top five countries that published research in these journals were the United States, Japan, Germany, Canada, and France.
Background: As the voiding habits of Iranian children differs from other children because of some cultural and religious considerations, we aimed to establish normal reference values of urinary flow rates in Iranian children between 7 to 14 years of age.
Methods: Eight hundred and two uroflowmetry studies were performed on children with no history of a renal, urological, psychological or neurological disorder, between the ages 7 and 14. Five hundred twenty five studies from 192 girls and 335 boys were considered in this study excluding the staccato/interrupted voiding pattern or voided volume less than 20 ml.
