Objectives: Despite credible evidence, optimal neonates' pain management in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) is a challenging issue. In this regard, the organisational context is an essential factor. The existing challenges vary depending on the context, and investigating them can help to improve the quality of care. The study aimed to explore organisational challenges to neonates' pain management in the NICU.
Methods: This qualitative study included 31 nurses and physicians in the NICU of Children's Hospital, Tabriz, Iran. Data collection was done through individual and focus group interviews. For data analysis, we used conventional content analysis.
Results: The identified challenges included organisational culture (poor interprofessional collaboration and low parental participation), organisational structure (lack of unified approach in relieving pain and limited supervision for pain management) and organisational resources (lack of time due to high workload and inadequate educational programmes).
Conclusions: Many organisational factors consistently affect neonatal pain management. Adopting some approaches to enhance the cooperation of treatment team members, holding educational programmes, proper organisational supervision and implementing a unified neonatal-based pain management programme could improve neonatal pain management.

Background: Breast cancer is the second most common cancer in women worldwide. Treatments for this disease often result in side effects such as pain, fatigue, loss of muscle mass, and reduced quality of life. Physical exercise has been shown to effectively mitigate these side effects and improve the quality of life in patients with breast cancer.

Design: Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) is a popular treatment option in managing chronic tendinopathies, although the literature is inconsistent, mainly because of significant heterogeneity in patient populations. Patients who failed conservative management may respond differently than those who have not undergone first-line treatment. This systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to evaluate the efficacy of PRP injections in reducing pain and improving function in patients with chronic tendinopathy who failed conservative treatment.

Methods: A systematic review was conducted following the PRISMA and SIGN guidelines. Randomized clinical trials (RCT), metanalysis, systematic revisions and cohort studies in Spanish/English, published within the last 10 years, evaluating interventions to control preoperative chronic moderate to severe shoulder pain in patients undergoing RCR and their impact in postoperative shoulder outcomes were included.
Current Strategies in Regional Anesthesia for Shoulder Surgery.

As arthroscopic and open shoulder surgery is increasingly performed on an outpatient basis, optimal and prolonged pain control is becoming more important while minimizing associated adverse effects. Traditional analgesic strategies relying on opioid and nonopioid medications provide inadequate pain control and are associated with undesirable adverse effects, such as opioid-related adverse effects (postoperative nausea and vomiting, respiratory depression, sedation), gastric lining irritation, and renal and hepatic adverse effects. Advances in ultrasonography-guided regional anesthesia have made placement of interscalene brachial plexus nerve blocks more reliable and precise and aided development of novel phrenic nerve-sparing peripheral nerve block techniques that decrease the risk of diaphragmatic paresis and dyspnea.

Background: Frequent hand hygiene is essential for infection control among health care workers (HCWs) but may cause adverse skin effects.
Purpose: To assess the relationships between frequent hand hygiene practices, skin symptoms, and microbiota alterations in HCWs.
Methods: A comprehensive search of 7 databases was conducted to identify articles published between January 2014 and July 2024 in English and Chinese.
