Vertebral osteomyelitis due to < em > Lactobacillus paracasei < /em > in a diabetic patient. A case report and literature review
We describe a rare case of spondylodiscitis due to Lactobacillus paracasei. A 74-year-old diabetic male was evaluated for fever and back pain. Blood cultures and vertebral biopsy were positive for Lactobacillus paracasei. He often took laxatives and probiotics for chronic constipation. After target treatment the patient improved but he died for a heart attack two months after the end of the treatment. Although Lactobacillus paracasei is usually not pathogenic, sepsis is described in immunocompromised patients while vertebral osteomyelitis is rare.PMID:37701384 | PMC:PMC10495059 | DOI:10.53854/liim-3103-13

A mixed methods study to uncover impediments to accurate diagnosis of nonradiographic axial spondyloarthritis in the USA
ConclusionsDelayed nr-axSpA diagnosis is common and reflects HCP knowledge gaps and frequent patient presentation with dominant nonaxial symptoms. Targeted HCP education, research into early disease patterns, and interventions sensitive to the broader spectrum of nr-axSpA manifestations are needed to improve timely diagnosis.Key Points• Patients with nr-axSpA often see multiple types of HCPs, and multiple rheumatologists, before receiving a diagnosis.• Both patients and HCPs are unfamiliar with nr-axSpA and its symptoms, lacking understanding that nr-axSpA can occur in young people, females, and those presenting with n...

Why It Takes Forever to Get a Doctor ’ s Appointment
Recently I faced consoling a patient of mine who couldn’t understand why I was unable to “hop on the phone” to discuss her new back pain. When she finally got an appointment with me weeks later, I decided to be honest. I shared that I had 1,300 patients who call me their primary doctor. After I’m done seeing patients at 5 PM, I tend to 50 to 100 messages and notifications. I take three to four hours of work home with me every night. [time-brightcove not-tgx=”true”] I didn’t share these stats to elicit sympathy, but soon our roles had reversed. My patient overflowed with apologi...

Retrospective Evaluation of Short-Course versus Traditional Preoperative Chemotherapy in Thoracolumbar Spinal Tuberculosis Patients
CONCLUSIONS For patients suffering from thoracolumbar spinal tuberculosis exhibiting progressive neurological deterioration, surgical intervention is deemed feasible after a brief period (usually 1-7 days) of intensive preoperative antitubercular therapy. This finding suggests that short-course intensive preoperative chemotherapy may serve as a viable approach in managing such cases.PMID:37697647 | DOI:10.12659/MSM.941003

Psychological distress and musculoskeletal pain in manual therapists during the second wave of the COVID-19 pandemic in Sweden: a cross-sectional study
ConclusionsDuring the second wave of the COVID-19 pandemic in Sweden, manual therapists primarily suffered from musculoskeletal pain related to the back and shoulders, while depressive symptoms were the most common symptom of psychological distress. Owners of businesses that suffered economic consequences had a higher prevalence of high psychological distress, which may call for targeted support of this group in future similar contexts. Future longitudinal studies during the pandemic are warranted to assess these associations further.

Optogenetic Inhibition of Glutamatergic Neurons in the Dysgranular Posterior Insular Cortex Modulates Trigeminal Neuropathic Pain in CCI-ION Rat
AbstractIn individuals with chronic neuropathic pain, the posterior insular cortex (PIC) has been found to exhibit increased glutamatergic activity, and the dysgranular portion of PIC (DPIC) has been investigated as a novel cortical target for pain modulation. However, the role of DPIC glutamatergic neurons (DPICg) in trigeminal neuropathic pain (TNP) remains unclear. Here, we examined the outcomes of DPICg inhibition in a rat model of chronic constriction injury of the infraorbital nerve (CCI-ION). Animals were randomly divided into TNP, sham, and control groups. TNP animals underwent CCI-ION surgery. Either optogenetic o...

Erector spinae plane block improves postoperative recovery after laminectomy and discectomy surgery: a retrospective cohort study
There is still room for improvement of pain management after spinal surgery. The goal of this study was to evaluate adding the erector spinae block to the standard analgesia regimen. Our hypothesis was that th...

The quality of care index for low back pain: a systematic analysis of the global burden of disease study 1990 –2017
Conclusion. Despite improvements in the quality of care for low back pain in low and lower-middle-income countries between 1990 and 2017, there is still a large gap between these countries and higher-income countries. Continued steps must be taken to reduce healthcare barriers in these countries.

Drug Repurposing for Spinal Cord Injury: Progress Towards Therapeutic Intervention for Primary Factors and Secondary Complications
AbstractSpinal cord injury (SCI) encompasses a plethora of complex mechanisms like the involvement of major cell death pathways, neurodegeneration of spinal cord neurons, overexpression of glutaminergic transmission and inflammation cascade, along with different co-morbidities like neuropathic pain, urinary and sexual dysfunction, respiratory and cardiac failures, making it one of the leading causes of morbidity and mortality globally. Corticosteroids such as methylprednisolone and dexamethasone, and non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs such as naproxen, aspirin and ibuprofen are the first-line treatment options for SCI, ...

6 Things to Do if Your Doctor Isn ’ t Listening to You
Liz Helms still remembers the way her doctor looked at her 30 years ago, when she described the severe pain she was experiencing in the area around her jaw. She told him she had limited facial movement and frequent muscle spasms, and that it felt like she was being struck by lightning again and again. She cataloged the ways her life had turned upside down. “But I could see it in his face—he either wasn’t listening or didn’t believe me,” Helms says. She remembers thinking: “They treat animals better than they’re treating humans.” [time-brightcove not-tgx=”true”] ...
