Background: Chronic back pain (CBP) in patients with type 2 diabetes (T2DM) is twice as high among age-and-gender-matched controls. The presence of both conditions impacts negatively on both quality of life and physical function, which might negatively affect mood.
Methods: We aimed to determine the prevalence of CBP among patients with T2DM by using the Lattinen Index (LI) and to assess whether the presence of CBP had any influence on clinical or psychological outcomes.
Results: 13.5% out of 299 patients had significant CBP. The percentage of patients with less than 150 minutes per 1 week of exercise was higher in the group of patients with significant CBP (70% vs 51.4%; p= 0.04). The proportion of patients who met criteria for food addiction was greater among subjects with CBP (47.5% vs 26.6%; p=0.009). The percentage of patients with criteria for depression was higher among the CBP group (82.5% vs 29.7%; p<0.0001), as well as the prescription of antidepressants (45% vs 17.4%; p<0.0001). However, no significant differences were seen regarding glycemic control or the frequency of complications related to T2DM.
Conclusions: CBP is prevalent among subjects with T2DM and it constitutes an important limiting factor of both self-care behaviors and psychological well-being.

Background: Up to 20-40% of survivors of any traumatic injury develop post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) or depression after injury. Firearm injury survivors may be at even higher risk for adverse outcomes. We aimed to characterize PTSD and depression risk, pain symptoms, and ongoing functional limitations in firearm injury survivors early after hospital discharge.

Background: Childhood autoimmune disorders involve the immune system attacking its own tissues, leading to varied symptoms, while autoinflammatory disorders result from innate immune system dysregulation, both requiring extensive diagnosis and multidisciplinary management due to their complexity.
Case Presentation: We present a unique clinical case of a teenager with a combination of autoimmune and autoinflammatory disorders. The initial manifestation of hip pain, coupled with progressive symptoms over several years and findings in multiple magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans, culminated in the diagnosis of chronic recurrent multifocal osteomyelitis (CRMO).

Background: Metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) has become one of the most prevalent chronic liver diseases worldwide. The serum uric acid-to-high-density lipoprotein cholesterol ratio (UHR) has been recognized as a novel marker for metabolic diseases, including MASLD. However, all previous studies were performed in adults.

Objective: The objective of this study is to compare the effectiveness of low-load blood flow restriction training (LL-BFRT) to heavy-load resistance training (HL-RT) in male collegiate athletes with chronic non-specific low back pain (CNLBP).
Methods: Twenty-six participants were randomly assigned to LL-BFRT ( = 13) or HL-RT ( = 13). All participants supervised exercises (deep-squat, lateral pull-down, bench-press and machine seated crunch) cycled 4 times per week for 4 weeks (16 sessions).

Rib fractures still remain a common problem in blunt thoracic trauma, often resulting significant acute and/or chronic morbidity and mortality. The management of rib fractures has improved over the past two decades, resulting in overall improved patient outcomes. With advances in surgical stabilization of rib fractures (SSRF), improvements in regional analgesia, and the introduction of intercostal nerve cryoablation, patient outcomes from rib fractures have improved significantly over the past several years.
