Background: Throughout the COVID-19 pandemic, clinicians have had to think quickly, adapt to changing recommendations sometimes on a daily basis, and have often had to rely on trial-and-error-based treatment protocols under various conditions. As we move on past the apex of the COVID-19 curve, new treatment protocols for the safe reintegration of elective interventional pain procedures into chronic pain practice are needed.
Methods: Literature review and description of a model for the safe reintegration of interventional pain procedures.
Limitations: A narrative review with paucity of literature.
Discussion: Herein we describe one such model in the hopes that through similar knowledge sharing, we can draw on others experiences to reach a collective conclusion on the safest, most effective, and efficient way(s) to move forward.

Spontaneous Coronary Dissection Review: A Complex Picture.
Rev Cardiovasc Med

Spontaneous coronary artery dissection (SCAD) represents a quite rare event but with potentially serious prognostic implications. Meanwhile, SCAD typically presents as an acute coronary syndrome (ACS). Despite the majority of SCAD presentation being characterized by typical ACS signs and symptoms, young age at presentation with an atypical atherosclerotic risk factor profile is responsible for late medical contact and misdiagnosis.

Restorative proctocolectomy (RPC) with ileal pouch-anal anastomosis (IPAA) is the gold standard surgical treatment for patients with ulcerative colitis (UC) unresponsive to medical therapy and those with familial adenomatous polyposis. Robotic IPAA is a safe and feasible option for the surgical treatment of UC in children. The feasibility of IPAA without ileostomy has been demonstrated in adult in the modified two-stage approach.

Within the 2020/21 CICADA (Coronavirus Intersectionalities: Chronic Conditions or Disabilities and Migrants and other Ethnic minorities) study, we explored full, partial or noncompliance with government COVID-19 infection-containment measures by people from minoritised ethnic groups with a disabling health condition or impairment. We used an assets-based intersectional approach and purposive sampling, included non-disabled and White British comparators, and trained community co-researchers to help us reach undocumented migrants and asylum seekers. We undertook 271 semi-structured qualitative interviews, followed by participatory workshops with interviewees to explore data and changes in experiences five and 10 months after the interviews.

Article Synopsis
- Traumatic brain injury (TBI) affects around 69 million people worldwide each year, especially in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) where there are fewer neurosurgical resources.
- The consequences of TBI can vary from serious life-threatening issues to subtle cognitive and behavioral changes, hindering patients' ability to reintegrate into society.
- To improve TBI care in LMICs, strategies like focused resource allocation, education, and learning from successful initiatives in low-resource settings are crucial, alongside addressing specific TBI cases and their management techniques.
"The ones at the bottom of the food chain": structural drivers of unintended pregnancy and unsafe abortion amongst adolescent girls in Zambia.

Background: Access to safe abortion care is highly unequal and fundamentally rooted in socioeconomic inequalities which are amplified by restrictive social norms and legal systems. We analyse these inequalities along the reproductive health continuum amongst adolescent girls in Zambia.
Methodology: This paper draws from 20 focus group discussions conducted in 2021 with community members (young/adult) in five urban, peri urban, and rural sites in Zambia.
