A prolapsed intervertebral disc (PIVD) refers to herniation of the nucleus pulposus out of the intervertebral space. Mechanical nerve compression brought on by a protruding nucleus pulposus and an increase in chemokines in the affected area causes the underlying pain, which is typically treated conventionally with surgery or medication. Nonetheless, these management strategies may not always be effective and may impact a person's quality of life. This report highlights the case of a 31-year-old male patient, who complained of neck and low back pain associated with tingling sensations for two months, and was treated with Dorn Therapy (DT) which is the basis of pain management intervention in conjunction with spinal traction, spinal mobilization, stretching, muscular strength training, and transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation. Following a week of pain management techniques, DT significantly reduced pain, improved range of motion, and enhanced muscle strength. This case report highlights the impact of DT on pain associated with a PIVD, which may curtail an individual's well-being.

Background Symptomatic acute occlusions of the internal carotid artery (ICA) below the circle of Willis can cause a variety of stroke symptoms, even if the major intracranial cerebral arteries remain patent; however, outcome and safety data are limited. Purpose To compare treatment effects and procedural safety of endovascular treatment (EVT) and best medical treatment (BMT) in patients with symptomatic acute occlusions of the ICA below the circle of Willis. Materials and Methods This retrospective, multicenter cohort study from 22 comprehensive stroke centers in Europe and Asia includes patients treated between January 1, 2008, and December 31, 2022.

In 2015, around 4400 individuals received a diagnosis of lung cancer, and Switzerland recorded approximately 3200 deaths related to lung cancer. Advances in detection, such as lung cancer screening and improved treatments, have led to increased identification of early-stage lung cancer and higher chances of long-term survival. This progress has introduced new considerations in imaging, emphasising non-invasive diagnosis and characterisation techniques like radiomics.

Article Synopsis
- * Key allergens evaluated include hyaluronidases from honey bee (Api m 2), European paper wasp (Pol d 2), and yellow jackets (Ves v 2.0101 and Ves v 2.0201), with sensitization rates among patients varying significantly.
- * Results show that individuals primarily sensitized to Api m 2 have minimal cross-reactivity with other venoms, while those sensitized to other allergens may react to Api m 2, emphasizing the importance of identifying the primary allergen for effective

Article Synopsis
- * Five antibiotics were tested in an in vitro model of continuous veno-venous hemodialysis, simulating different patient scenarios to see how drug levels could be adjusted effectively during dialysis.
- * Results indicate that target-controlled dialysis can reliably adjust and maintain antibiotic concentrations at desired therapeutic levels throughout the treatment, suggesting it may improve patient outcomes in critical care settings.
