Pregnancy and infant loss, in the form of miscarriage, stillbirth or early neonatal death, occurs in 20-25% of all pregnancies. Despite its prevalence and associated physical and psychological impacts, there remains a lack of public awareness and understanding of pregnancy loss, including amongst people of reproductive age. Drawing on evidence from a preliminary review of peer-reviewed and grey literature, we make the case for enhancing pregnancy loss and (in)fertility awareness, specifically focusing on young people in second-level education.

Relevance: Spontaneous abortion (SAB) and recurrent pregnancy loss (RPL) occur alone or concurrently with increasing incidences recently. Scutellaria baicalensis Georgi (SBG) has been used to prevent pregnancy loss for thousands of years, which is recognized as a "pregnancy-stabilizing herb" in ancient China. Baicalin (BA) and its metabolite baicalein (BE) are the main bioactive flavonoids in the root of SBG.

Painful Legs and Moving Toes Syndrome: Case Report and Review.

Second Clinic of Neurology with ICU and Stroke Unit, University Hospital "St. Marina", 9000 Varna, Bulgaria.

Article Synopsis
  • Painful legs and moving toes (PLMT) syndrome is a rare movement disorder involving severe leg pain and involuntary toe movements caused by nerve issues in the lower limbs.
  • This case study presents a 59-year-old man with PLMT due to multiple disc problems in his spine, highlighting how pregabalin, a medication, significantly improved his symptoms during a 90-day follow-up.
  • The conclusion emphasizes that while PLMT is often overlooked by healthcare providers, early treatment with medications like pregabalin is crucial, with additional options available if conservative treatments fail.

Background: Evidence from the fields of evolutionary biology and neuroscience supports the theory that spatial cognition and social cognition share neural mechanisms. Rodent models are widely used to study either spatial or social cognition, but few studies have explored the interactions between the spatial and social cognitive domains due to the lack of appropriate paradigms.

New Method: Our study introduces the Vertical Maze (VM), a novel behavioral apparatus designed to measure multiple aspects of spatial and social cognition.

Background: Pediculolysis is bone hypertrophy and pseudoarthrosis caused by pedicle fracture and has often been combined with contralateral spondylolysis in previous reports. Multilevel pediculolysis with spondylolysis is extremely rare, and we report a case who underwent surgery. Cases of multisegment pediculolysis were reviewed to inspire the diagnosis and treatment of similar pathological phenomena.
