Kienböck disease, a rare disease that can cause chronic pain and motor dysfunction, occurs due to avascular necrosis of the lunate bone, which leads to dislocation of the carpal bone. Among various other etiologies, Kienböck disease can cause closed tendon rupture of the finger. In this report, we introduce a case of total rupture of the second extensor digitorum communis and the extensor indicis proprius tendons caused by undiagnosed Kienböck disease in an elderly female patient.

Multisystem inflammatory syndrome in adults (MIS-A) is a rare but potentially life-threatening condition that may occur during or in the weeks following severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2 infection. To date, only case reports and small case series have described typical findings and management of patients with MIS-A. The prevalence of MIS-A is largely unknown due to the lack of data.

Distal biceps tendon tears can cause weakness and fatigue with activities requiring elbow flexion and supination. Surgical management of chronic tears (>21 days) is not well described in the literature.

We aimed to compare the intraoperative and post-operative analgesic activities of the preventive applied serratus anterior plane (SAP) block and infiltration block in patients undergoing video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS).

Idiopathic hypersomnia is a central hypersomnolence disorder mainly characterised by excessive daytime sleepiness, with prolonged night-time sleep and pronounced sleep inertia. Until August, 2021, no medication had regulatory approval for the treatment of idiopathic hypersomnia. This study aimed to evaluate the safety and efficacy of lower-sodium oxybate in idiopathic hypersomnia.

The purpose of this study is to identify the health status and healthcare utilization factors associated with middle-aged women in the rapid urbanization context of Vietnam.

Schwannomas of the trochlear nerve with the absence of systemic neurofibromatosis are considerably uncommon, especially complicated by intra-tumoral hemorrhage. Due to the lack of typical clinical manifestations and imaging findings, a definite diagnosis of trochlear schwannomas before surgery is particularly difficult.

The data on the effect of dietary fiber on severe headaches or migraine are limited. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate the association between dietary fiber intake and the prevalence of severe headaches or migraine.

Uremic pruritus or chronic kidney disease-associated pruritus (CKD-aP) is a frequent compromising symptom in end-stage renal disease. Despite the little attention paid to drugs used among hemodialysis (HD) patients, investigating medications used in this population of patients and examining the status of CKD-aP may lead to the identification of medications that improve or worsen the pruritus condition. We aimed to assess the role of underlying diseases-related drugs on CKD-aP in HD patients.

The heart is one of the organs frequently affected by the multisystem inflammatory syndrome in children (MIS-C), associated with severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 infection. Cardiac involvement in patients with MIS-C was evaluated with physical examination findings, biochemical test, and cardiological imaging tests. We reported the degree of cardiac involvement in patients with MIS-C.
