Is Full-Endoscopic Transforaminal Lumbar Interbody Fusion Superior to Open Transforaminal Lumbar Interbody Fusion for Single-Level Degenerative Lumbar Spondylolisthesis? A Retrospective Study
Conclusion The Endo-TLIF has similar clinical effect compared with the TLIF for the treatment of lumbar degenerative spondylolisthesis. It also has many surgical advantages such as less muscle trauma, less postoperative back pain, and fast functional recovery of the patient. However, steep learning curve, longer operative time, and higher total cost may be the disadvantages that limit this technique. Also, the Endo-TLIF treatment of patients with bilateral lateral recess stenosis is considered a relative contraindication.

A woman in her 50s with chest pain and lightheadedness and " anterior subendocardial ischemia "
 Written by Pendell MeyersA woman in her 50s presented with acute chest pain and lightheadedness since the past several hours. Here is her triage ECG during active symptoms:What do you think?The ED physician read this as " Normal sinus rhythm. LVH. Marked ST abnormality, possible anterior subendocardial injury. "  Smith: I suspect this was a confirmation of the conventional computer interpretation.  These are often wrong and lead the physician astray.This is wrong on many levels. The rhythm is some form of heart block (see Ken ' s comments at end of post) with junctional escape. The STD maximal in ...

Proposal of a Route Map for Cervical Spinal Ultrasonography: A Simple and Clear Learning Tool for Beginners
AbstractSpinal ultrasonography has increasingly been used to image axial structures from the cervical to sacral region in recent years. In this work, we propose a comprehensive, systematic cervical scanning protocol that we refined as a route map, especially for beginners, to facilitate teaching, learning, diagnosis, and treatment in clinical pain practice. As a simple and clear tool to demonstrate the scanning protocol, the route map is delineated with rectangles, lines, and arrows. The rectangles represent the positions of the transducer, the arrows indicate route directions, and the lines show the routes of transducer m...

Vasodilators For High Blood Pressure: Types, Side Effects, Drug Interactions
Conclusion In summary, vasodilators play a pivotal role in managing cardiovascular conditions, including hypertension, which is rapidly becoming a global health concern. By expanding the body’s blood vessels, these unique medications can improve blood flow and decrease the pressure exerted by the heart, thereby providing relief to numerous patients worldwide. Their applications are diverse, extending beyond hypertension to conditions like angina, heart failure, and even erectile dysfunction. However, these medications should be taken carefully and always under the supervision of a doctor due to the potent...

These ants are ballooning with microbe-killing honey
Buried deep underneath the red, sunbaked soil of Australia’s deserts are hidden treasure troves of honey. It’s not the delicacy produced by bees, but rather the only type of honey made by ants. It’s also, a new study confirms, a potentially powerful medicine with antimicrobial properties. Australia’s Indigenous peoples have long used honey from honeypot ants ( Camponotus inflatus ) to treat a variety of maladies, from sore throats to infected wounds. Now, Western scientists are finally getting up to speed. In a study published today in PeerJ , researchers show that the honeypot ant’s honey has...

Handling Heat On Blood Pressure Medication: Your Summer Health Guide
Conclusion Summing it up, individuals taking blood pressure medication must be cautious during the hot weather season. Heat exposure can significantly impact blood pressure and may amplify the effects of medication, leading to potentially harmful health conditions. These risks, however, can be managed with the right precautions such as staying hydrated, dressing appropriately, and planning outdoor activities during cooler times of the day. Importantly, each person’s response to heat and medication varies. Hence, a one-size-fits-all approach isn’t ideal. Your healthcare provider is an invaluable resourc...

Cultivating Agents of Change in Medical Students: Addressing the Overdose Epidemic in the United States Through Enhancing Knowledge of Multimodal Pain Medicine and Increasing Accessibility via Open-Access, Web-Based Medical Education and Technology
JMIR Med Educ. 2023 Jul 25;9:e46784. doi: 10.2196/46784.ABSTRACTMedical students of today will soon be physician leaders and teachers of tomorrow about important relevant topics including the overdose epidemic and its devastating impact on our society. In the United States, the overdose crisis, including drug opioid-related overdoses, the increasing prevalence of opioid use disorder along with the increasing number of patients with chronic pain are intensifying and call attention for nationwide action. A strong medical educational foundation of the understanding of the relationship between pain and substance use disorder, ...

Calcium-Channel Blockers For High Blood Pressure: Types, Side Effects, Drug Interactions
Conclusion In a nutshell, calcium-channel blockers are a valuable tool in the medical arsenal for treating a range of cardiovascular conditions. By inhibiting calcium’s entry into the heart and blood vessel cells, these drugs induce blood vessel dilation and relaxation, reducing blood pressure. Their unique properties and effectiveness make them especially suitable for groups like older adults and people of African descent, and those with conditions like angina, certain arrhythmias, and Raynaud’s disease. Even with the possibility of side effects and drug interactions, calcium-channel blockers are g...

Comparison of extra-peritoneal cesarean section with conventional trans-peritoneal cesarean section: An open label randomized controlled trial
CONCLUSION: Extra-peritoneal cesarean section is associated with better postoperative outcomes with respect to return of bowel functions, pain, and requirement of injectable analgesics and antibiotics than the routine trans-peritoneal cesarean section. However, the significantly higher fetus delivery time questions its feasibility in patients with acute fetal distress. Additionally, it is technically difficult and has a longer learning curve.PMID:37483687 | PMC:PMC10362076 | DOI:10.1016/j.eurox.2023.100212

Visual Display Terminal Syndrome and Its Associated Factors among University Students during the COVID-19 Pandemic
CONCLUSION: The results of this study showed that university students taking online classes suffered more from VDTS, especially in eye fatigue and neck, lower back, and shoulder pain during COVID-19 pandemic than prior. This study suggests that it is necessary to take breaks in online classes and regularly provide appropriate eye exercise and physical activity to prevent VDTS.PMID:37483045 | DOI:10.3233/WOR-220265
