A number of hypotheses have been postulated to explain the development of syringomyelia associated with Chiari I malformation. However, the mechanism of syrinx development is still poorly understood. Furthermore, the outcomes of current surgical procedures have been variable. There is evidence that the syringomyelia can spontaneously resolve, and this may warrant a more conservative approach to monitor the progression of neurological deficits. In this paper, we present a patient with spontaneous regression of syringomyelia. The current aetiological theories are discussed.

Assessing Preferences of Patients with Chronic Spontaneous Urticaria for Injectable Treatment Profiles.
Patient
January 2025
Division of Rheumatology, Allergy and Immunology, Department of Medicine, University of Cincinnati College of Medicine, Cincinnati, OH, USA.
Background: In the context of injectable biologic products approved or in development for chronic spontaneous urticaria (CSU), it is important to capture which treatment attributes matter most to patient and what trade-offs patients are willing to make.
Objectives: The CHOICE-CSU study aimed to quantify patient preferences toward injectable treatment attributes among patients with CSU, inadequately controlled by H1-antihistamines.
Methods: This was a two-phase cross-sectional patient preference study in adult patients with a diagnosis of CSU, inadequately controlled by H1-antihistamines.
Prevalence and Prognostic Impact of ST Segment Elevation in Lead aVR Among Patients with Cardiac Arrest.
Eur Heart J Acute Cardiovasc Care

Section of Cardiovascular Medicine, Yale School of Medicine, New Haven, CT.
Background: In acute coronary syndrome, ST-segment elevation in lead aVR (STE-aVR) indicates global myocardial ischemia, often related to multivessel or severe left main disease, and correlates with increased mortality. The prevalence and prognostic significance of STE-aVR in cardiac arrest (CA) patients is unknown.
Methods: We identified patients (≥18 years) with CA between 2011 to 2022 who achieved return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC).
