Article Abstract
Background: The role of healthy lifestyle behavior (HLB) in terms of physical activity, alcohol intake, smoking, and diet put together has not yet been explored for the risk of low back pain (LBP) and neck pain (NP). Our aim was to study if an HLB is protective against the onset of long duration troublesome LBP and NP in men and women.
Methods: Two cohorts from the Stockholm Public Health Cohort, free from LBP (n=12,483) and NP (n=10,539), respectively, in 2006, were surveyed with questionnaires. Baseline information about physical activity, alcohol intake, diet, and smoking were dichotomized into being healthy/not healthy and combined in a categorical variable according to the number of healthy behaviors present. Binomial regression analyses were used to evaluate the role of HLB for the outcomes 4 years later.
Results: When men with three or four healthy lifestyles were compared to men with none or one, the risk ratio (RR) of LBP was 0.63 (95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.39-1.02). The corresponding RR for LBP in women was 0.86 (95% CI: 0.56-1.32). When men with three or four healthy lifestyles were compared to men with none or one, the RR for NP was 1.13 (95% CI: 0.74-1.71). The corresponding RR for NP in women was 0.52 (95% CI: 0.35-0.77).
Conclusion: An HLB seems to be protective for long duration troublesome LBP in men, and for long duration troublesome NP in women.

Introduction: Efficacy of deep brain stimulation (DBS) is established for several movement and psychiatric disorders. However, the mechanism of action and local tissue changes are incompletely described. We describe neurohistopathological findings of 9 patients who underwent DBS for parkinsonism and performed a systematic literature review on postmortem pathologic reports post-DBS.

Atopic dermatitis (AD) is a chronic skin disease that causes itching and is characterized by recurrent flares and remissions. The interactions among type 2 inflammation, skin barrier dysfunction, and pruritus play important roles in the pathogenesis of AD. AD symptoms persist for a long period; thus, it is desirable to have disease models that reproduce a prolonged AD-like phenotype.

Introduction: Flow diversion is an effective first-line treatment for intracranial aneurysms; however, the rate of incomplete occlusion is not insignificant. Data in neuroendovascular literature is limited regarding the implications of persistent incomplete occlusion despite flow diversion.
Methods: We conducted a retrospective analysis of a prospectively maintained database and identified 125 consecutive patients with treatment naïve intracranial aneurysms who underwent flow diversion with the PED from April 2014 - November 2022.
