Acta Radiol
January 2025
Department of Radiology, Selcuk University Medical Faculty, Konya, Turkey.
Background: Piriformis syndrome, an often-overlooked cause of sciatica, commonly presents as chronic gluteal pain and poses a diagnostic challenge, particularly in patients with axial spondyloarthritis (axSpA).
Purpose: To examine piriformis muscle abnormalities on sacroiliac magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and their association with clinical outcomes in patients with axSpA.
Material And Methods: This cross-sectional study included 100 axSpA patients (50 radiographic [r-axSpA], 50 non-radiographic [nr-axSpA]), classified by the 2009 ASAS Axial Spondyloarthritis criteria, who underwent MRI evaluations of the sacroiliac joints over a 6-month period.
Conflict at work and incident chronic low back pain: a retrospective cohort of more than 101,000 adults from Germany.
Int Arch Occup Environ Health
January 2025
Department of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation, Lariboisière- Fernand Widal Hospital, Université Paris Cité, Assistance Publique- Hôpitaux de Paris, Paris, France.
Purpose: Little is known about the relationship between conflict at work and incident chronic low back pain (CLBP). Thus, this retrospective cohort study analyzed the association between conflict at work and the five-year incidence of CLBP in adults living in Germany.
Methods: This study included individuals aged 18-65 years reporting conflict at work for the first time in one of 1,293 general practices in Germany between 2005 and 2022 (index date).

Despite treatment with numerous oral medications, including acetaminophen, nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), gabapentinoids, and muscle relaxants, his symptoms persisted and intensified.
