We present a case of a 43-year-old male who was found to have an intracranial mass lesion on headache imaging. On further follow up, the patient developed systemic features of hypercalcemia, anemia and renal dysfunction. The biopsy of the mass was negative multiple times. A bone marrow biopsy was done due to high suspicion of multiple myeloma which showed plasma cell infiltration of the bone marrow. The patient's serum was however negative for an M band with only a narrow M band in the urine suggestive of oligosecretory multiple myeloma.

A novel coronavirus (2019-nCoV) causing an outbreak of pneumonia in Wuhan, Hubei province of China was isolated in January 2020. This study aims to investigate its epidemiologic history, and analyzed the clinical characteristics, treatment regimens, and prognosis of patients infected with 2019-nCoV during this outbreak.

Socioeconomic (SE) inequalities have been observed in a number of adverse outcomes of pregnancy and many of the risk factors for such outcomes are associated with a low SE level. However, SE inequalities persist even after adjustment for these risk factors. Less well-off women are more vulnerable, but may also get less adequate health services. The objective of the present study was to assess possible associations between SE conditions in terms of maternal education as well as ethnic background and obstetric care.

The growing problem of opioid misuse has become a serious crisis in many countries. The role of trauma as a gateway to opioid use is currently not determined. The study was undertaken to assess whether traumatic injury might be associated with chronic opioid use and accompanying increased long-term mortality.

To improve precision and accuracy in the capture of symptomatic adverse events by self-report, the US National Cancer Institute has developed a library of 124 patient-reported outcome (PRO) items reflecting 78 symptomatic AEs drawn from the Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE). The PRO-CTCAE™ item library has been translated and linguistically validated in the Korean language. The aim of this study was to examine the psychometric properties of PRO-CTCAE-Korean.

People with migraine experience cognitive decline more often than healthy controls, resulting in a significant functional impact. Early identifying influencing factors that contribute to cognitive decline in migraineurs is crucial for timely intervention. Although migraine may onset early in childhood and early onset migraine is related to significant disability, there is no research investigating the association between age of migraine onset and migraineurs' cognitive decline. Therefore we aim to explore possible factors that correlate to cognitive function of migraineurs, especially focus on age of migraine onset.

The aim of this systematic review was to analyze the effectiveness and safety of the external trigeminal nerve stimulator (eTNS) for the prevention and acute treatment of migraine attacks in episodic and chronic migraine patients.

Adolescents with chronic musculoskeletal pain face different impairments in daily life. After an inpatient pain rehabilitation program adolescents function better on several domains. The aim of this study is to explore the long-term work participation of adults who followed inpatient pain rehabilitation during adolescence because of chronic musculoskeletal pain and to identify potential facilitators and barriers regarding work in later life.

There have not been any longitudinal studies reported that chronic low back pain (CLBP) patients are at risk for stroke. Thus, in this study, we explored the association between CLBP and strokes.
