Context: One in four Canadians experiences chronic pain, yet insufficient services and restrictions surrounding prevailing treatments result in inadequate management and significant negative consequences for these individuals. Previous work indicates that hypnotic communication represents a promising complementary treatment; however, training protocols for healthcare professionals are underdeveloped and understudied.
Aim: To evaluate the level of satisfaction for a training program on hypnotic communication in pain management clinics.
Article Synopsis
- * The review analyzed 67 articles from various populations, revealing that insomnia and nightmares often coexist, with heightened relationships noted during the COVID-19 pandemic.
- * Psychological treatments like Imagery Rehearsal Therapy show promise in reducing symptoms of both insomnia and nightmares, highlighting a cycle where insomnia can lead to more nightmares, which in turn contribute to poorer sleep.
Article Synopsis
- Angiogenesis plays a crucial role in heart repair following a heart attack (myocardial infarction), and the study focused on tracking its changes using a specific PET tracer, Ga-NODAGA-RGD, which targets a marker of angiogenesis (integrin αβ) in 20 STEMI patients.
- By using PET imaging at multiple time points (1 week, 1 month, and 3 months post-STEMI), the study found that most patients (95%) showed increased uptake of the tracer in the affected heart tissue at one week, with levels stabilizing after one month but decreasing by three months.
- Additionally, the study identified correlations between the uptake of the tracer and changes in blood flow parameters and heart
[ Ga]Ga-PentixaFor is a frequently used radiotracer to image the CXCR4/CXCL12 axis in various malignancies, infections, and cardiovascular diseases. To answer increasing clinical needs, an automatized synthesis process ensuring efficient and reproducible production and improving operator's radioprotection is needed. [ Ga]Ga-PentixaFor synthesis has been described on other synthesizers but not on the miniAiO.

However, there is a lack of knowledge about its mechanisms of action and effectiveness when used alone. This systematic review with network meta-analysis aimed to evaluate stimulus control efficacy when used alone compared with cognitive behavioural therapy for insomnia or its components.
