Subcultural Representations of Perpetrators and Victims of Crime and Violence Associated with Mental Disorders.
Rev Colomb Psiquiatr (Engl Ed)

History of Medicine Unit, Department of Social and Health Sciences, Faculty of Medicine, University of Murcia, Murcia, Spain.
Introduction And Objectives: The beliefs and opinions of the general population are based substantially on mass media, which often equates mental disorders with violence and criminality. These stigmatising depictions contribute to the development and persistence of negative attitudes towards people with psychiatric conditions. The objective was to examine, through popular music, the subcultural representations of crime and violence in the context of mental disorders, focusing on depictions of victims and offenders.

Discogenic low back pain (DLBP) is difficult to diagnose. We performed full endoscopic spinal surgery (FESS) with thermal annuloplasty for DLBP and achieved good results. Here, we report a case in which thermal annuloplasty resulted in good outcomes for refractory DLBP accompanied by a residual high-intensity zone (HIZ) after full endoscopic discectomy (FED).

Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the relationship between high-intensity zones (HIZ) in MRI scans of lumbar discs and discogenic low back pain (DLBP), aiming to clarify their diagnostic relevance.
- A systematic review of 25 studies involving nearly 5,900 patients found that while HIZ shows moderate sensitivity (49%) for identifying DLBP, it has high specificity (89%).
- The authors conclude that while HIZ can be a useful diagnostic tool for DLBP, more high-quality research is required to solidify these findings.

Article Synopsis
- The review highlights a critical gap in understanding the biological mechanisms of discogenic low back pain (DLBP), which complicates treatment development.
- It emphasizes that most research focuses on disc degeneration rather than directly linking degeneration to pain, indicating a need for more targeted studies on pain-inducing mechanisms.
- Key findings identify TNF-α, the NF-κB signaling pathway, and reactive oxygen species (ROS) as significant factors associated with DLBP, while also noting the limitations of existing studies in assessing pain outcomes effectively.
Mechanical influence of facet tropism in patients with chronic discogenic pain disorder.
Bone Joint Res
September 2024
Department of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation, Korea University Guro Hospital, Seoul, South Korea.
Article Synopsis
- The study evaluated how facet tropism (an abnormal curvature of spinal joints) affects chronic lumbosacral disc pain by analyzing clinical data and computer simulations (FEM).
- A retrospective analysis of 318 spinal levels in 156 patients revealed that facet tropism significantly predicts positive outcomes in discography, with notable biomechanical impacts on disc stress and displacement in affected areas.
- The results suggest that facet tropism can lead to higher risks of disc herniation and degeneration due to changes in pressure and increased mechanical stress on the discs.
