To describe the rates for consulting a general practitioner (GP) for sequelae after acute covid-19 in patients admitted to hospital with covid-19 and those managed in the community, and to determine how the rates change over time for patients in the community and after vaccination for covid-19.

This study aims to explore a case of exophytic nasal papilloma with acute dacryocystitis as the first symptom.

Although asymptomatic Tarlov cysts (TCs) are reported in up to 13% of the population, symptomatic TCs are rare (less than 1%), making the management of the symptomatic cysts controversial. The most common location of symptomatic TCs is sacral nerve roots where they can cause pelvic, perineal chronic discomfort and pain, and lower extremity sensory and motor changes. Ventral (intrapelvic retroperitoneal) sacral TCs are extremely rare with no management recommendations. Available surgical options include cyst resection, and inlet-obliteration, however, these methods are often considered invasive and not definitive.

Patients with idiopathic intracranial hypertension (IIH) have been reported to have high prevalence of co-existent mood disorders. We investigated the frequency of symptoms of depression and anxiety in a large cohort of patients with IIH without a known psychiatric diagnosis and compared it with the age- and gender-matched control group. We also studied whether the presence and severity of co-existing mood disorder was related to visual outcome in patients with IIH.

Primary biliary cholangitis (PBC) is a chronic liver disease that negatively affects the health-related quality of life (HRQoL) of patients. Furthermore, the HRQoL of Chinese patients has been neglected for a long time. The present study aimed to assess the HRQoL of Chinese patients with PBC and explore the clinical variables correlating to the improvement of itch and fatigue.

The study investigated: (a) the usage patterns of paracetamol, and (b) the association between paracetamol use and patient outcomes such as liver and kidney functions among older people.

BACKGROUND Adhesion is a complication of cesarean section. Adhesion of the uterus to the bladder or abdominal wall due to cesarean section can cause discomfort and anatomic distortion. Furthermore, removing intrauterine devices (IUDs) becomes challenging with anatomic distortion of the uterus. This report describes the case of a woman with a history of 3 previous cesarean sections who required laparotomy for abdominal adhesion and removal of an IUD from an anatomically distorted uterus due to adhesion. CASE REPORT The patient was a 43-year-old woman who presented with pelvic pain. She had an IUD inserted 2 months after her third cesarean delivery 7 years earlier and started to experience chronic pelvic pain with regular and painful menstruation over the last 4 years and worsening since the last 1 year. On clinical evaluation, the thread of the IUD was missing, and ultrasonography confirmed the presence of the IUD inside the uterus. Because the cervix could not be visualized on speculum examination, vaginal removal of the IUD was considered impossible. Since the IUD could not be removed via the vaginal route and hysteroscopy and laparoscopy could not be performed, the patient underwent laparotomy. It was found that the uterus was severely adhered to the abdominal wall, and the IUD was located inside the uterus. Adhesiolysis and IUD removal were performed. The patient was relieved from the chronic pelvic pain. CONCLUSIONS This report demonstrates the risk of adhesion after multiple cesarean deliveries and the required surgical intervention performed to remove an IUD and adhesiolysis.

Compare transversus abdominis plane (TAP) blocks with liposomal bupivacaine were to epidural analgesia for pain at rest and opioid consumption in patients recovering from abdominal surgery.

Justicia vahlii Roth. (Acanthaceae), also called as kodasoori and bhekkar is an annual therophyte erect or decumbent herb used traditionally in toothache, skin diseases (itching, topical inflammation) and for the treatment of various respiratory disorders.

Cyperi Rhizoma (CR) derives from the rhizome or tuber of Cyperus rotundus L. of Cyperaceae. It is an herbal medicine which has been widely used in different healthcare systems like in China, India, Iran, and Japan. In Chinese medicine, CR could promote the flow of Qi in the Liver and Sanjiao channels, regulate menstruation and alleviate pain. Clinically, CR is used for depression, flatulence, hypochondriac pain, and dysmenorrhea. Thus, it has a long history and significant curative effect for the treatment of various Qi stagnation symptoms.
