Pneumoparotid: A Rare Consequence of Being a Saxophonist.

A teenage girl who had recently begun playing saxophone presented with recurrent painless right cheek swelling for six months. Despite several courses of antibiotics, the swelling continued to re-occur. On examination, enlargement of the right parotid gland and crepitus over the same region are noted, with no signs of acute inflammation.

A scoping review on implementation processes and outcomes of models of care for low back pain in primary healthcare.

Background: To address the societal burden of low back pain (LBP), several health systems have adopted Models of Care (MoCs). These evidence-informed models aim for consistent care and outcomes. However, real-world applications vary, with each setting presenting unique challenges and nuances in the primary healthcare landscape.

Dietary restriction impacts health and lifespan of genetically diverse mice.

Caloric restriction extends healthy lifespan in multiple species. Intermittent fasting, an alternative form of dietary restriction, is potentially more sustainable in humans, but its effectiveness remains largely unexplored. Identifying the most efficacious forms of dietary restriction is key for developing interventions to improve human health and longevity.

Prediction of extracapsular extension of prostate cancer by MRI radiomic signature: a systematic review.

Unlabelled: The objective of this review is to survey radiomics signatures for detecting pathological extracapsular extension (pECE) on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in patients with prostate cancer (PCa) who underwent prostatectomy. Scientific Literature databases were used to search studies published from January 2007 to October 2023. All studies related to PCa MRI staging and using radiomics signatures to detect pECE after prostatectomy were included.
