Background: Patients with chronic nonspecific low back pain (CNSLBP) show reduced inspiratory muscle function. However, studies comparing maximal inspiratory pressure (MIP) and exercise-induced inspiratory muscle fatigue (IMF) between CNSLBP and healthy controls (HC) are lacking.
Objective: To compare MIP and exercise-induced IMF between CNSLBP and HC.
Article Synopsis
- Foodborne illnesses can lead to serious conditions like liver failure, especially in vulnerable populations such as children and young adults, but they often go unreported due to their self-limiting nature.
- In a specific case, a 48-year-old woman experienced severe symptoms after eating contaminated rice salad, resulting in metabolic acidosis and liver dysfunction.
- After treatment in the emergency department, including the use of N-acetylcysteine, her condition improved, and she was discharged nine days later with recovering liver function.
Objective: To summarise the evidence on the effect of physiotherapy-led versus physician-led care on clinical outcomes, healthcare use, and costs in persons with low back pain.
Data Sources: PubMed, Web of Science, CINAHL, Embase, and PEDro were systematically searched with the latest search performed in July 2024. Reference lists of articles were hand-searched.
Elevated liver enzymes are a common finding in primary care medicine, with an estimated prevalence of 8 %. Steatotic liver diseases are the most frequently encountered etiologies and r-epresent the main cause of liver-related morbidity and mortality. This article looks at the latest developments in these diseases, with a particular focus on MASLD (Metabolic dysfunction associated steatotic liver disease).

Cholangiocarcinoma, hepatic -metastases from colorectal cancer and neuroendocrine tumors are emerging indications with outcome superior to those that can be achieved with systemic treatments in very selected patients.
