To investigate the specific clinical features of pain following cardiac surgery and evaluate the information derived from different pain measurement tools used to quantify and describe pain in this population.

To investigate whether a specific (SP) or non-specific (NSP) clinical presentation, predicts prognosis and in-hospital resource utilization in emergency medical admissions.

This narrative review provides an update on the research that led to the development of ditans and lasmiditan for the acute treatment of migraine in adults and discusses the potential advantages and disadvantages of lasmiditan in clinical use.

This study aims to characterize longitudinal symptoms of mild COVID-19 patients for a period of six months, and potentially aid in disease management.

Morphine is an opioid agonist and a nonselective mu, kappa and delta receptor agonist. It is a commonly used analgesic drug for the treatment of acute and chronic pain as well as cancer pain. Morphine is particularly important to address the problem of morphine tolerance. Tcf7l2, known as a risk gene for schizophrenia and autism, encodes a member of the LEF1/TCF transcription factor family. TCF7L2 is an important transcription factor that is upregulated in neuropathic pain models. However, the relationship between TCF7L2 and morphine tolerance has not been reported. In this study, we found that morphine tolerance led to the upregulation of TCF7L2 in the spinal cord, and also led to the upregulation of TCF7L2 expression in glial cells, which promoted inflammation related signal, and activated TLR4 / NF-κB/NLRP3 pathway. In addition, TCF7L2 regulated microglial cell activation induced by chronic morphine treatment. Mechanically, we found that TCF7L2 transcriptionally regulated TLR4 expression, and the depletion of TCF7L2 alleviated morphine tolerance induced by chronic morphine treatment, and further alleviated pain hypersensitivity induced by chronic morphine treatment. We therefore suggested that TCF7L2 regulates the activation of TLR4/ NF-κB/NLRP3 pathway in microglia, and is involved in the formation of morphine tolerance. Our results provide a new idea for the regulation mechanism of morphine tolerance.

T-cell prolymphocytic leukemia (TPLL) is a rare form of leukemia by T lymphocytes at a post-thymic intermediate stage of development with an α/β immunophenotype. Facial involvement is common in TPLL and displays significant heterogeneity of the lesions' description and location. TPLL also contains a wide array of histology findings, cell cytology, and molecular studies. Here, we describe a TPLL patient who presented with an ill-defined erythematous patch involving the right axilla progressing to the left axilla, upper back, and face that resembled dermatomyositis. The diagnosis of TPLL was established using flow cytometry of bone marrow and peripheral blood, and histopathology of the involved skin. Dermatologists should be aware of these unique features.

The pathogenesis of rosacea is incompletely understood. Signaling neuropeptides including pituitary adenylate cyclase-activating polypeptide (PACAP), a regulator of vasodilation and edema, are upregulated in rosacea skin. Here, we evaluated PACAP38-induced rosacea features and examined whether a 5-HT receptor agonist could reduce these features.

Previously, solitary and unilateral aggregates of intracranial subdural osteomas have been described. These tumors are thought to be slow growing and at times inconsequential on the basis of characteristics of subjacent brain. Unilateral location and history of traumas have led to the thought that the head trauma may play a role in pathogenesis.
