In response to changes in activity induced by environmental cues, neurons in the central nervous system undergo homeostatic plasticity to sustain overall network function during abrupt changes in synaptic strengths. Homeostatic plasticity involves changes in synaptic scaling and regulation of intrinsic excitability. Increases in spontaneous firing and excitability of sensory neurons are evident in some forms of chronic pain in animal models and human patients.

Article Synopsis
- The study investigates delays in referring patients with psoriasis from dermatology to rheumatology, focusing on those with arthralgia (joint pain) who may be at risk for developing psoriatic arthritis (PsA).
- Out of 1,419 patients evaluated, 8.4% were classified as at-risk for PsA, with 29% progressing to the disease within one year.
- Key predictive factors for this progression included a family history of psoriasis, joint pain severity, duration of psoriasis, and specific ultrasound findings.

The management of patients in shock or arrest is a critical aspect of emergency medicine and critical care. Rapid and accurate assessment is paramount in determining the underlying causes and initiating timely interventions. This article provides a summary of essential ultrasound protocols for the critically ill patient including the extended focused assessment with sonography for trauma (EFAST), rapid ultrasound for shock and hypotension (RUSH), and sonography in hypotension and cardiac arrest in the emergency department (SHoC-ED).
