Patients And Methods: A total of 100 adult patients scheduled for cardiac surgery at Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minnesota, USA, was recruited from April 19, 2022, to October 12, 2022. Before surgery, patients wore a physiological monitor to record vital signs.
Administration and Monitoring Burden of High-Efficacy Disease-Modifying Therapies for Multiple Sclerosis: A Delphi Consensus of Clinical Experts from Saudi Arabia.
Neurol Ther
January 2025
InterHealth Hospital, Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.
Introduction: The emergence of high-efficacy disease-modifying therapies (HE DMT) for multiple sclerosis (MS) may pose challenges to the administration and monitoring burden of the therapies. This article presents the results of the Delphi consensus method to generate insights from experts on the administration and monitoring burden of HE DMT in Saudi Arabia with a special focus on cladribine.
Methods: Between January and March 2023, a two-round modified Delphi method was used to establish consensus regarding the administration and monitoring burden of HE DMTs used for MS.
Carpal tunnel syndrome diagnosis as a risk factor for falls.
Int Orthop
January 2025
Stanford Medicine, Stanford, CA, USA.
Purpose: Subclinical peroneal neuropathy without overt foot drop has been linked to increased fall risk in adults, yet remains under reported due to subtle symptoms and lack of awareness. Patients with carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) often experience other nerve entrapments, prompting this study to evaluate CTS (a proxy for peroneal nerve entrapment) as a significant predictor of time to first fall.
Methods: Data from the Merative MarketScan Research Databases (2007-2021) were used to identify adult patients using ICD-9/10 codes.

Deep Endometriosis (DE), the most severe endophenotype of the disease, is commonly presented with chronic pelvic pain. This cross-sectional study reports, for the first time, the prevalence of anhedonia in a sample comprised by 212 premenopausal women with suspected DE referred to a tertiary hospital.

The guidelines from the European and American Societies for Gastrointestinal Endoscopy discourage endoscopic retrieval of drug bags in body stuffers. However, recent evidence challenges this stance, demonstrating successful bag retrieval without fatal outcomes. We present two distinct cases illustrating varying outcomes of intervention.
