This study was conducted to find out which factor among stress inducing factors and stress coping factors that can affect patients with non-specific neck pain has more correlation with the intensity of neck pain and the degree of disability. This study is a cross-sectional correlational study. 100 patients diagnosed with non-specific neck pain participated in this study. The characteristics of the participants in this study are as follows. There were 56 men and 44 women, with an average age of 34.11 years, height of 169.91, and weight of 66.97 kg. The participant`s pain intensity was 5.18 and disability index was 21.44. In order to evaluate the pain intensity and disability level of patients with non-specific neck pain, Numeric Pain Rating SCALE (NPRS), and Neck Disability Index (NDI) were investigated, respectively. Depression, Anxiety, Stress Scale-21 (DASS-21), and Tampa Scale of Kinesiophobia (TSK) were used to evaluate stress inducing factors. Brief Resolution Scale (BRS), Latack Coping Scale (LCS), and Pain Self-Efficacy Questionnaire (PSEQ) were used to evaluate stress coping factors. Spearman correlation coefficients were used to determine the correlation between NPRS, NDI, and DASS-21, TSK, BRS, LCS, and PSEQ in patients with non-specific neck pain. As a results of this study, the NPRS was correlated with NDI and TSK. The NPRS and NDI were found to have a moderate correlation, but they were correlated with TSK, but showed a weak correlation. The NDI was found to be correlated with TSK, DASS, BRS, and PSEQ. In addition, NDI showed a weak correlation with TSK, BRS, and PSEQ, but the DASS showed a moderate correlation, showing the strongest correlation among the factors. These outcomes suggest that psychosocial factors, particularly stress-related factors such as depression, anxiety, and fear of movement, exert a more pronounced influence on pain intensity and disability in individuals with non-specific neck pain.

Background: Anticoagulants increase the risk of cardiac tamponade in patients with pericardial effusion (PE). Therefore, inappropriate administration of them in the presence of PE can lead to a catastrophic outcome. This study presents a patient with a provisional misdiagnosis of venous thromboembolism (VTE).

Most sports and leisure activities involve repetitive movements in the upper limb, which are typically linked to pain and discomfort in the neck and shoulder area. Movement variability is generally expressed by changes in movement parameters from one movement to another and is a time-dependent feature of repetitive activities. The purpose of this study was to examine the effect of repeated movement-induced fatigue on biomechanical coordination and variability in athletes with and without chronic shoulder pain (CSP).

Autosomal recessive hypophosphatemic rickets type 2 (ARHR2) is an uncommon hereditary form of rickets characterised by chronic renal phosphate loss and impaired bone mineralisation. This results from compound heterozygous or homozygous pathogenic variants in ectonucleotide pyrophosphatase/phosphodiesterase 1 (ENPP1), a key producer of extracellular inorganic pyrophosphate (PPi) and an inhibitor of fibroblast growth factor23 (FGF23). ENPP1 deficiency impacts FGF23 and increases its activity.

Background: Nasal septal abscesses (NSA) necessitate prompt recognition and management to prevent morbidity and long-term sequelae. To date, no comprehensive review of NSA alone has been conducted.
Objective: To conduct a systematic review of the presentation and management of NSA and determine patients at risk of sequelae.
