Purpose: This research was carried out to determine the relationship between pain belief of women who experienced cesarean section for the first time and their postcesarean pain and breastfeeding self-efficacy levels.
Design: The research is a descriptive study.
Methods: The study was conducted with 144 patients who had not undergone any surgical operation and had their first cesarean section. Data were collected with an introductory information form, pain beliefs questionnaire (PBQ), visual analog scale (VAS), and breastfeeding self-efficacy scale (BSES).
Findings: The patients' PBQ organic belief score (3.06 ± 0.61) was higher than their PBQ psychological belief score (1.87 ± 0.83), and their pain beliefs were based on an organic cause. The postcesarean section pain of the women was moderate-severe (6.75 ± 1.71), breastfeeding self-efficacy levels were high and sufficient (57.88 ± 4.86), and their pain beliefs were of organic origin. There was no significant relationship between patients' pain beliefs and postcesarean pain and breastfeeding self-efficacy levels.
Conclusions: The results of our study indicate that working status, income status, and chronic illness were associated with patients' pain beliefs, but we observed no relationship between pain beliefs and postcesarean pain and breastfeeding self-efficacy levels.

Extra-cavitary primary effusion lymphoma (PEL), often associated with human herpes virus 8 (HHV8) infection, represents a rare and aggressive form of non-Hodgkin lymphoma, which is predominantly found in individuals with severe immunosuppression. As an acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS)-associated lymphoma, PEL typically manifests in the context of advanced human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection, requiring tailored therapeutic approaches to manage both the lymphoma and underlying immunodeficiency. A 53-year-old male patient from Cape Verde presented with a three-day history of fever, night sweats, right iliac fossa pain, hematochezia, and an unintentional weight loss of five kilograms over the previous two months.

Purpose: To determine the frequency of confirmed Lyme neuroborreliosis (LNB) cases in adult patients with three different clinical presentations consistent with early LNB.
Methods: Data were obtained through routine health care at the UMC Ljubljana, Slovenia from 2005 to 2022, using clinical pathways. The patients were classified into three groups: (i) radicular pain of new onset (N = 332); or (ii) involvement of cranial nerve(s) but without radicular pain (N = 997); or (iii) erythema migrans (EM) skin lesion(s) in conjunction with symptoms suggestive of nervous system involvement but without either cranial nerve palsy or radicular pain (N = 240).

Observing your child in pain is inherently distressing. In the context of chronic pain, caregiver responses can powerfully impact child pain-related functioning. The Parent Empathy in the Context of Pain model postulates that parent empathic distress may hinder adaptive responses to child pain, thus playing a key role in the link between parent responses and child functioning.
