We report a case of Waldenström macroglobulinemia revealed by clinostatic syndrome in an 81-year-old woman. A lytic lesion was found in the ilium and acetabulum. There was no evidence of transformation to high-grade lymphoma. Radiation therapy ensured complete resolution of the clinostatic syndrome within 1 month of treatment completion.

Impact of homeostatic body hydration status, evaluated by hemodynamic measures, on different pain sensitization paths to a chronic pain syndrome.

Contrasting findings on the mechanisms of chronic pain and hypertension development render the current conventional evidence of a negative relationship between blood pressure (BP) and pain severity insufficient for developing personalized treatments. In this interdisciplinary study, patients with fibromyalgia (FM) exhibiting clinically normal or elevated BP, alongside healthy participants were assessed. Different pain sensitization responses were evaluated using a dynamic 'slowly repeated evoked pain' (SREP) measure, as well as static pain pressure threshold and tolerance measures.

Background: The working posture affects the peripheral venous circulation, although the current literature does not report any correlation between working posture and the abnormalities of the jugular veins flow. The purpose of this preliminary research is to study, in female workers, the prevalence of Venous Compressive Syndrome (VCS) caused by total block of the internal jugular veins flow, so-called "White Compression". Due to complete compression by postural, muscular, fascial, anatomical or bone anomalies, White Compression is not visible by EchoColorDoppler (ECD) and its flow can only be detected by the rotational movements of the head or by Valsalva's maneuver.

The Authors report a case of abdominal compartment syndrome due to a giant ovarian serous cystadenoma. Despite of the relief of intra-abdominal hypertension (IAP: 16 mmHg), mild symptomatology (clinostatic dyspnea) lead to defer the emergency surgical treatment; after CT scan of abdomen and pelvis was performed a resection en bloc of the cystic mass, oophorectomy and cholecystectomy. However it seems advisable to perform an emergency laparotomy in patients with abdominal compartment syndrome (ACS) grade II when presenting as an acute abdomen.

Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) volume depletion syndrome is due to leakage of cerebrospinal fluid through lesions of the dural sac at the level of the cranial base or of the spine. When past medical history is negative for recent trauma or surgery, the term spontaneous intracranial hypotension (SIH) is used. SIH is characterized clinically by orthostatic headache, neck pain, nausea, emesis, horizontal diplopia, tinnitus, plugged ear, hearing difficulties, blurring of vision, facial numbness, and upper limb radicular symptoms.
