Introduction: Despite progress in systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) treatment, challenges persist in medication adherence due to side effects and costs. Precision nutrition, particularly adjusting fatty acid intake, offers a cost-effective strategy for enhancing SLE management. Prior research, including our own, indicates that increased consumption of omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) correlates with improved outcomes in SLE patients.

US Montmorency tart cherries (MTC) improve sleep outcomes in previous studies, but studies in individuals with overweight and obesity are lacking.

Article Synopsis
- The study investigated the impact of tapering off chronic opioid use on pain-related healthcare utilization, including emergency department visits and hospitalizations.
- Conducted from 2015-2019 with over 47,000 adult patients, the research found that tapering opioids led to more emergency visits and hospitalizations but fewer primary care visits related to pain.
- Overall, the findings suggest that while tapering may be intended to reduce opioid use, it could lead to an increase in acute pain-related healthcare needs.
Importance: Acute back pain is a common reason for primary care visits and often results in low-value spinal imaging.
Objective: To evaluate the effect of a standardized patient-delivered intervention on rates of low-value spinal imaging among primary care patients with acute low back pain.
Design, Setting, And Participants: In this randomized clinical trial, physicians or advanced practice clinicians were recruited from March 22 to August 5, 2021, from 10 adult primary care or urgent care clinics in Sacramento, California.
Ménière's Disease (MD) is a disease that may be difficult to diagnose and manage. Our UK survey showed variability in the practice of UK Otolaryngology consultants. We hence surveyed Otolaryngology consultants internationally, to assess their confidence levels in diagnosing MD, their use of the AAO-HNS guidelines and current diagnostic and treatment modalities.
