Chronic gastritis is observed in almost half world population. Traditional medications against chronic gastritis might produce adverse effects, so alternative nutritional strategies are needed to prevent the aggravation of gastric mucosal damage. The aim of this study is to evaluate the protective effect of the combination of wheat peptides and fucoidan (WPF) on adults diagnosed with chronic superficial gastritis in a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical trial.

Bile acid levels and liver function tests may be normal at presentation in women with intrahepatic cholestasis of pregnancy. The biochemical results of patients presenting with pruritus typical for intrahepatic cholestasis of pregnancy were reviewed.

Multimodal analgesia can improve postoperative pain and possibly accelerate functional recovery after surgery. Serratus plane block (SPB) is a novel, ultrasound-guided regional anaesthetic technique for complete analgesia of the anterolateral chest wall. But, the effect of SPB on the quality of recovery after breast cancer surgery has not been established.

Ultrasound-guided nerve blocks (UGNBs) allow emergency physicians an opportunity to provide optimal pain management for acute traumatic conditions. Over the past decade, a growing body of literature has detailed the novel ways clinicians have incorporated UGNBs for analgesia and an alternative to procedural sedation. UGNBs are considered a relatively safe procedure, and have been shown to increase rates of success and reduce complications (as compared to older techniques). Ultrasound allows the operator needle visualization and a clear anatomic overview. Even with the presumed level of increased safety, we recommend that any clinician who performs ultrasound-guided nerve blocks be aware of complications that could arise during and after the procedure. Peripheral nerve injury (PNI) post block, local anesthetic systemic toxicity (LAST) and the role of single peripheral nerve blocks in patients with a risk for compartment syndrome are common safety issues discussed when performing ultrasound-guided nerve blocks.

Physiotherapist-led musculoskeletal triage clinics are an effective and efficient means of managing patients presenting with musculoskeletal disorders in primary and secondary care. Data regarding the activity and outcomes of physiotherapist-led triage in hospital-based outpatient rheumatology clinics are scarce. Thus, the aim of this study was to undertake a service evaluation of activity and outcomes of a physiotherapist-led rheumatology-based Musculoskeletal Assessment Clinic (MAC). The primary objective was to quantify the proportion of patients independently managed by the clinical specialist physiotherapists (CSPs).

In this study, we evaluated the efficacy of intercostal nerve block for postoperative pain management in pediatric patients undergoing atrial septal defect closure through a right lateral mini-thoracotomy.

Several possible mechanisms exist for the spread of a primary tumor to the leptomeninges in leptomeningeal carcinomatosis. This report describes a case caused by direct bleeding in the subarachnoid space from a neoplastic cerebral aneurysm rupture.

The purpose of this paper is to describe the 4-step process (consent, selection, protection, and abstraction) of acquiring a large sample of chiropractic patient records from multiple practices and subsequent data abstraction.

Migraine is a neurovascular disorder with complex pathophysiology. The ketogenic diet (KD) it is well recognized to treat epilepsy drug-resistant as well as other neurological disorder including migraine. Our previous study showed that six weeks of biphasic KD influences circulating microRNAs (miRs) linked to energy metabolism (Cannataro R., Perri M. et al. MicroRNA (2019) 8: 1). At the end of the study, six female obese patients self-reported to had a better outcome of pain-migraine and migraine attack. Therefore, we analyzed miRs associated with pain-migraine.
