Cervicogenic headache (CEH) is a lateralized non-pulsative headache syndrome caused by cervical spine disorders. The headache is initiated in the neck, which subsequently spreads to the occipital, frontal, and orbital regions, and is accompanied by ipsilateral shoulder pain. The prevalence of CEH is considered to be 15-20% among cases of chronic headache. With regard to the mechanism of CEH, convergence of upper cervical nerves and trigeminocervical complex might play an important role. However, CEH in many patients has been reported to be associated with middle to lower cervical disorders, which cannot be explained by this theory. We therefore proposed the possibility that the condition reported here is another type of CEH. The treatment of CEH requires a multidisciplinary approach, because pharmacological treatment is often ineffective. (Received August 16 2019; Accepted November 25, 2019; Published March 1, 2020).

Pseudoplacentational endometrial hyperplasia (PEH) and cystic endometrial hyperplasia (CEH) are both hyperplastic conditions that may occur in the canine uterus during diestrus. CEH can impair fertility, and, although the consequences of PEH are poorly known, this condition is significantly associated with pyometra. The aim of this study was to investigate frequencies of both PEH and CEH in female dogs according to age, size, breed, and breed group.

Introduction: The experiences of UK Government response-focused employees, who were considered frontline workers during the coronavirus response, are missing from current literature. Meeting the demands of being on the frontline, whilst also adjusting from a normal and practiced way of working to having to work from within one's home, may bring a plethora of new barriers and facilitators associated with providing an effective pandemic response.
Method: This interview study collected and analysed data from 30 UK Civil servants who worked on the COVID-19 pandemic response from their own homes.

This review provides a comprehensive overview of the current landscape in pancreatic cancer (PC) screening, diagnosis, and early detection. This emphasizes the need for targeted screening in high-risk groups, particularly those with familial predispositions and genetic mutations, such as BRCA1, BRCA2, and PALB2. This review highlights the sporadic nature of most PC cases and significant risk factors, including smoking, alcohol consumption, obesity, and diabetes.

The objective of this mini review is to discuss the role of musculoskeletal ultrasound (MSK US) in identification and treatment of pain generators in cervical spine in patients presenting with cervicogenic headache (CEH). CEH is a secondary headache arising from cervical nociceptive structures emerging from facet joints, intervertebral discs, nerves, muscles, fascia and ligaments. It presents a complex challenge in clinical management.

The transmission cycle is complex, involving multiple vector and host species, but there are significant gaps in ecological knowledge. Empirical data on pathogen-vector-host interactions and incrimination have not been updated since the last century, despite significant local changes in land use and the expansion of KFD to new areas.
