AI Article Synopsis
- The commentary highlights the potential risks of iatrogenic harm (unintended consequences from medical treatment) associated with diagnosing functional neurologic and somatic disorders.
- Evidence is drawn from historical cases of hysteria and modern brain imaging studies to support these concerns.
- The authors explore the implications of these findings for medical practice, suggesting a need for caution in diagnosing and treating these conditions.
Article Abstract
The present commentary raises some concerns about the risk of iatrogenic harm arising out of the diagnosis of functional neurologic and somatic disorders. These concerns are supported by evidence from the history of hysteria and findings from contemporary brain imaging. We discuss their implications for practice.

Background: Anatomical variations of the recurrent motor branch (RMB) are at risk of injury during carpal tunnel release procedures. Previous studies have visualized the RMB using ultrasound (US) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) but have not compared the imaging capabilities of the two. Previous investigations have overlooked two specific types of carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS): simultaneous compression of the median nerve and the RMB and isolated compression of the latter.

Glioblastoma is the most frequent and malignant primary brain tumor. Although the survival is generally dismal for glioblastoma patients, risk stratification and the identification of high-risk subgroups is important for prompt and aggressive management. The G1-G7 molecular subgroup classification based on the MAPK pathway activation has offered for the first time a non-redundant, all-inclusive classification of adult glioblastoma.

Department of Laboratory Medicine, Kaifeng Tuberculosis Control Center, Kaifeng, China.
Background: The main treatment methods for humeral shaft fractures include minimally invasive plate osteosynthesis (MIPO), intramedullary nailing (IMN), open reduction and internal fixation (ORF), and non-operative treatment (NonOP). However, the optimal treatment plan remains unclear. This article utilizes a network meta-analysis to compare the therapeutic effects of MIPO, IMN, ORF, and NonOP for the treatment of humeral shaft fractures.

This article explores the potential iatrogenic impact of institutional care on patients suffering from anorexia nervosa, based on a perspective drawn from the human and social sciences. In particular, it highlights the social mechanisms - such as the collision of intentions, pathological emulation, stigmatization and identity dedifferentiation - that can aggravate pathology in the hospital setting. Four recommendations are put forward for rethinking care, favoring a more holistic and less iatrogenic approach.

Similar results have been reported when using antegrade intramedullary lengthening nails (ILNs). The purpose of our study is to examine if antegrade telescoping intramedullary lengthening nails lead to varus-procurvatum malalignment of the proximal femur and what are possible predictors of that shift.
