Twenty married chronic pain patients (pain duration > 8 mo.) consecutively admitted to a pain management program were administered a taped structured interview designed to elucidate the responses of their spouses to pain behavior. Additionally, patients were required to report their pain levels in two different observational conditions: when observed by their spouse and when observed by a "neutral observer", the ward clerk. Those patients who reported that their spouses were relatively non-solicitous in responding to pain behavior reported significantly lower pain levels in the spouse-observing condition than in the neutral-observer condition. Patients who reported that their spouses were relatively solicitous in responding to pain behavior reported marginally higher levels of pain in the spouse-observing condition than in the neutral-observer condition.

Dietary patterns related to triglyceride glucose index and risk of type 2 diabetes: a large-scale cohort study.
Front Nutr
January 2025
Department of Nutrition and Food Hygiene, School of Public Health, Nantong University, Nantong, China.
Background: Triglyceride glucose (TyG) index has been proposed as a credible and simple surrogate indicator for insulin resistance. The primary aim of this study was to novelly examine the associations between dietary patterns reflecting variations in circulating TyG index and the risk of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM).
Methods: This study included 120,988 participants from the UK Biobank, all of whom completed multiple 24-h dietary assessments.
Ischemic colitis presenting as a colonic mass: a case report and diagnostic challenges.

Ischemic colitis (IC) is a multifaceted condition that often manifests with nonspecific symptoms such as abdominal pain and bloody diarrhea, particularly in older adults with vascular risk factors. Diagnosis is supported by elevated levels of white blood cells, lactate, and C-reactive protein (CRP). Computed tomography (CT) imaging typically reveals wall thickening and fat stranding in watershed areas.

Responsible for approximately 35% of all trauma-related deaths in the United States, thoracic trauma is one of the leading causes of death among trauma patients. Furthermore, traumatic rib fractures represent the most frequently encountered injury following thoracic trauma with mortality rates ranging from 8% among the elderly to 13% for patients with a flail chest. This manuscript reviews the history of SSRF as well as the contributions of the pioneering surgeons who championed this treatment.

Objectives: To investigate the prevalence of spine symptoms and spine disability, self-care and care seeking behaviors in a random sample of Indigenous adults residing in Cross Lake, northern Manitoba, Canada.
Study Design And Setting: Orally administered survey in Cree or English to a representative sample of Pimicikamak citizens from the treaty ( = 150/1931 houses) and non-treaty ( = 20/92 houses) land, between May and July 2023. Questions ( = 154) were derived from the 2018 First Nations Regional Health Survey, 2020 Canadian Community Health Survey, and 2021 The Global Burden of Disease study, covering demographics, spine symptoms, chronic conditions, activity limitations, general health, self-care, medication, and satisfaction with care.
An AI recognition method for children's clinical operative pain by skin potential (SP) signal.
Heliyon
January 2025
College of Information Science and Electronic Engineering, Zhejiang University, Hangzhou, 310027, China.
Objective And Rationale: Children's clinical pain phenotypes are complex, and there is a lack of objective biological diagnostic markers and cognitive patterns. Detecting physiological signals through wearable devices simplifies disease diagnosis and holds the potential for remote medical applications.
Method And Results: This research established a pain recognition model based on AI skin potential (SP) signal analysis.
