We examined 26 athletes with continued pain after strenuous exercise. We found stress fractures in 15 patients, all of whom had positive roentgenographic studies. Seven of these 15 also had bone scans, all of which were positive. Five patients had stress reactions, all of which showed positive results on bone scan and negative roentgenographic results. Five had occult stress reactions manifested by pain, with normal roentgenographic and scintigraphic results, and one had minor pain not requiring radiologic studies. Stress reaction is contrasted with stress fracture by demonstrating the role of bone imaging in the diagnostic continuum of stress reaction to stress fracture.

Background: Competing definitions of posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) have been proposed by ICD-11 and DSM-5; it is unclear which diagnostic model works best for children and adolescents. Although other studies have predicted the impact of these models by approximating the criteria using older measures, this study advances the research by comparing measures designed to assess ICD-11 and DSM-5 criteria in hurricane-exposed youth. This study evaluates ICD-11 and DSM-5 (both the standard and preschool-age) diagnostic models by identifying diagnostic rates, evaluating diagnostic concordance, investigating the predictive value of constructs associated with PTSD (demographics, disaster threat and exposure, functional impairment), and examining model fit.

Objective: This study aimed to compare the clinical outcomes of midazolam and dexmedetomidine combined with ropivacaine-induced thoracic paravertebral nerve block (TPVB) in radical lung cancer surgery.
Methods: To retrospectively analyze the clinical data of elderly patients who underwent thoracoscopic radical lung cancer surgery from March 2020 to February 2023 in our hospital. All patients underwent a single two-site method of TPVB at the levels of T4 and T7 under ultrasound guidance.

Background: Low back pain affects over 80 % of adults, with sacroiliac joint dysfunction accounting for 15-30 % of these cases. Sacroiliac fusion is a surgical procedure for refractory joint pain. While the biomechanics of the joint and its fusion relative to the spinal column are well-known, the hip-spine relationship post-fusion remains unclear.

Recent years brought considerable attention to the connection between chronic stress and the development of autoimmune diseases. However, little is still known about the impact of prolonged stress reactions on the onset and course of primary Sjögren Syndrome (pSS). This study aimed to seek for associations between chronic stress, resulting from stressful life events, and pSS.

: Antiseizure drugs (ASDs) are the primary therapy for epilepsy, and the choice varies according to seizure type. Epilepsy patients experience chronic mitochondrial oxidative stress and increased levels of pro-inflammatory mediators, recognizable hallmarks of biological aging; however, few studies have explored aging markers in epilepsy. Herein, we addressed for the first time the impact of ASDs on molecular aging by measuring the telomere length (TL) and mtDNA copy number (mtDNA-CN).
