Purpose Of Commentary: The number of facilities and physicians that offer pain management services has grown significantly since the 1970s. Despite the rise in prevalence of individuals with chronic pain during that time, interventional pain physicians remain underutilized. One reason why this may be the case is a large number of patients are referred directly to surgical specialists prior to being seen by an interventional pain physician.

Purpose Of Review: The purpose of this review is to describe the development and key features of the Prospera™ Spinal Cord Stimulation (SCS) System, as well as the clinical evidence supporting its use. Prospera delivers therapy using a proprietary multiphase stimulation paradigm and is the first SCS system to offer proactive care through automatic, objective, daily, remote device monitoring and remote programming capabilities.
Recent Findings: Results from the recently published BENEFIT-02 trial support the short-term safety and efficacy of multiphase stimulation in patients with chronic pain.

Polycythemia vera (PV) is characterized by clonal hematopoietic stem or progenitor cells with constitutively active somatic mutation(s) in the Janus kinase 2 gene. Phlebotomy (Phl) and aspirin are often used alone for low-risk PV patients. However, data from the Low-PV study demonstrated that Phl and aspirin may not be adequate for patients.

Dysregulation of its function has been implicated in various pathologies, including obesity, diabetes, and cancer, highlighting its importance as a potential therapeutic target. Despite this, the development of tools to selectively target the Golgi in specific cell types remain a significant unmet challenge in imaging and drug discovery.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFBreath biopsy is emerging as a rapid and non-invasive diagnostic tool that links exhaled chemical signatures with specific medical conditions. Despite its potential, clinical translation remains limited by the challenge of reliably detecting endogenous, disease-specific biomarkers in breath. Synthetic biomarkers represent an emerging paradigm for precision diagnostics such that they amplify activity-based biochemical signals associated with disease fingerprints.
