Management of Persistent Coccygodynia and Health Behavior: A Survey Study on Patients with Coccygodynia of Age 41 to 69 years.

Coccygodynia, with trauma as a common etiologic factor, is a clinical condition of pain around the coccygeal region. This research aimed at investigating the level of satisfaction in surgical and non- surgical treatment of coccygodynia among Turkish patients and their health behavior. There is no dearth of studies on coccygodynia; however, a clear gap in research exists of studying coccygodynia patient satisfaction of specific age groups.

309 patients treated with fluoroscopy-guided caudal epidural injection for lumbar disc herniation.

Objective: To present our experience, discuss the complications, and assess early vs long-term outcomes of fluoroscopy-guided caudal epidural injection for lumbar disc herniation (LDH).

Methods: This was a prospective study of 309 patients who underwent fluoroscopy-guided caudal epidural injection from 2014 to 2020. The inclusion criteria were LDH diagnosis by magnetic resonance imaging, surgical treatment not required, age >18 years, and history of low back or leg pain despite >6 weeks of treatment comprising a combination of analgesics, anti-inflammatories, and physical therapy.

Effect of humic acid on oxidative stress and neuroprotection in hypoxic-ischemic brain injury: part 1.

Background: Aimed to investigate in an animal model the efficacy of humic acid by showing its antioxidant and anti-apoptotic effect comparing with the histopathological and neurological outcomes for the hypoxic-ischemic brain injury.

Methods: 28 Wistar-Albino rats who were on the 7th postnatal day and weighting between 9 and 19 g randomly divided into four groups with developed HIE model under the gas anesthesia. 20 mg/kg and 10 mg/kg intraperitoneal HA were given to Group I and II respectively.
