Help me solve this puzzle
The IASP definition of pain is:

Pain cannot be inferred solely from activity in sensory neurons.Through their life experiences, individuals learn the concept of pain.A person’s report of an experience as pain should be respected.Although pain usually serves an adaptive role, it may ...

Is this Myo-pericarditis? Or OMI with subsequent pericarditis? Does the angiogram always explain the ECG findings?
Conclusion: Although at 1st glance, it looked like the ECG picture in Figure-1 might be suggestive of acute pericarditis — on further inspection, there are significant ECG features against the diagnosis of acute uncomplicated pericarditis.As per the superb discussion above by Dr. Smith — evolution of this case (including the ECG picture on serial tracings) — are consistent with what probably occurred in today ' s case, namely the combination of acute OMI from LCx occlusion, followed by development of post-infarction regional pericarditis.

Underfunding Research Of Female Health Leaves Huge Amounts Of Money On The Table
“Did you know that at least one-third of women have lower back pain before their periods every month, and yet, nobody seems to fully understand why?” – asked a Medical Futurist team member a little while ago. The question led to a discussion about the differences in research, funding and understanding of male-only and female-only health issues, and consequently, to this article.
It is a well-known fact that some diseases or conditions dominantly affect one gender or the other. There are the trivial ones, like prostate cancer or ovarian, cervical, uterine cancers. But there is a long list of diseases and condit...

Fight Aging! Newsletter, April 25th 2022
We examined central genetic and environmental lifespan regulators (putative anti-aging interventions, PAAIs; the following PAAIs were examined: mTOR loss-of-function, loss-of-function in growth hormone signaling, dietary restriction) for a possible countering of the signs and symptoms of aging. Importantly, in our study design, we included young treated groups of animals, subjected to PAAIs prior to the onset of detectable age-dependent phenotypic change. In parallel to our studies in mice, we assessed genetic variants for their effects on age-sensitive phenotypes in humans.
We observed that, surprisingly, many PAAI...

A man in his 50s with acute chest pain and history of prior MI
Written by Pendell MeyersA man in his 50s with prior history of anterior MI with LAD stent presented with acute chest pain similar but more intense than his last MI. He presented around midnight with pain that had started around 9pm the night before. He had taken NTG at home with no improvement, and immediately received morphine on arrival at the ED for severe chest pain (a very bad idea if your accuracy for finding OMI on ECG is low, since ongoing pain will be your last chance to identify those with ongoing untreated OMI).Here is his triage ECG at 0012:What do you think? What is the differential of this ECG?There is sinus...
