An unprecedented study in Brazil analyzed pain intensity and adequacy of analgesia at an emergency center. One hundred accident victims attended at a trauma reference hospital were evaluated. Pain was present in 90% of cases; 56.0% complained of severe pain on first evaluation and, three hours later, 26.0% remained in severe pain and 38.0% in moderate pain. A significant portion of the study population did not receive analgesia during the observation period. Considerable numbers of inadequate analgesia were found, confirming the reduced importance of analgesia in trauma in Brazil.

Background: Carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) is a common peripheral nerve entrapment syndrome that can be treated in a variety of ways, including manual therapy, massage, and acupuncture.
Purpose: Traditional conservative treatment techniques have been widespread used for treatment of patients with mild-to-moderate carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS), such as manual therapy, massage, and acupuncture. However, there appears to be no consensus about the benefits of traditional conservative treatment techniques for patients with CTS.

Peripheral arterial disease (PAD) is mostly caused by stenotic atherosclerotic lesions of lower limb arteries. Intermittent claudication is the most common manifestation, while, in more advanced stages of the disease, chronic limb-threatening ischemia (CLTI) occurs. Optimal medical therapy is an essential cornerstone in all stages of PAD, while endovascular and open surgical revascularisation are of great importance - depending on the patient and lesion characteristics and can be used in a complementary manner.

Objective: To investigate the association between intestinal permeability alteration and erosive hand osteoarthritis (EHOA).
Methods: Serum concentrations of four intestinal permeability biomarkers (LPS binding protein (LBP), FABP2, sCD14, Zonulin-related proteins (ZRP) along with calprotectin, and high-sensitivity C-Reactive Protein (hs-CRP) were assessed in 410 patients of the DIGICOD cohort. The study compared patients with EHOA (≥ 2 erosion in Verbruggen score N=140) to those without EHOA (N=270) using the Mann-Whitney U test.
