Evaluation of the relationship between restless legs syndrome, mental status, and sleep disorders among Moroccan women during their third trimester of pregnancy
CONCLUSION: RLS is encountered during the prenatal period, with a higher prevalence in the last trimester. During this stage of pregnancy, women suffering from RLS were vulnerable to anxiety and sleep disorders. Prevention and early diagnosis of RLS could be a proactive healthcare management leading to better health outcomes and better conditions of pregnancy, which precedes childbirth.PMID:38694400 | PMC:PMC11060302 | DOI:10.1097/MS9.0000000000001987 (Source: Annals of Medicine)

Bardet-Biedl syndrome with unique manifestations of congenital giant nevi and refractory anemia: a case report from Palestine
CONCLUSION: This case underscores BBS's rarity and complexity, featuring unique aspects like giant nevi and refractory IDA. Comprehensive management addresses renal, visual, cardiac, and neurologic aspects. Genetic counselling, prenatal testing, and preimplantation genetic diagnosis prevent transmission. Limitations include lacking local epidemiological data and prior studies in Palestine. This case contributes insights, stressing multidisciplinary management and prompting further research in underexplored populations.PMID:38694397 | PMC:PMC11060271 | DOI:10.1097/MS9.0000000000001954 (Source: Annals of Medicine)

Iron chelators: as therapeutic agents in diseases
Ann Med Surg (Lond). 2024 Mar 19;86(5):2759-2776. doi: 10.1097/MS9.0000000000001717. eCollection 2024 May.ABSTRACTThe concentration of iron is tightly regulated, making it an essential element. Various cellular processes in the body rely on iron, such as oxygen sensing, oxygen transport, electron transfer, and DNA synthesis. Iron excess can be toxic because it participates in redox reactions that catalyze the production of reactive oxygen species and elevate oxidative stress. Iron chelators are chemically diverse; they can coordinate six ligands in an octagonal sequence. Because of the ability of chelators to trap essentia...

Cytarabine-induced peripheral neuropathy in a young patient with acute myeloid leukemia: a case report

The authors conducted a review to characterize SGBCC, specifically with regards to age, sex predilection, risk factors, geographical location, body site, metastasis, and treatment. A systematic literature search was conducted from 1972 to 2023. All abstracts, studies, and citations were reviewed. The initial result showed 47 281 articles and were filtered down for human, ski...

Richter supraumbilical hernia managed with invagination: a case report
CONCLUSION: Diagnosis of Richter's hernia demands higher suspicion, particularly in patients with predisposing factors like a history of minimally invasive surgery. Prompt surgical intervention is crucial for reducing mortality and enhancing prognosis, with invagination alone being adequate if ischaemia is confined and mesh placement is unnecessary.PMID:38694393 | PMC:PMC11060237 | DOI:10.1097/MS9.0000000000001943 (Source: Annals of Medicine)

Prevalence, types, and characteristics of headache in Behcets disease without involvement of the central nervous system in the Syrian population: a case-cohort study
CONCLUSION: Headache should not be considered a predictor for neurological involvement among BD patients. Additional attention to BD patients or the specific treatment for headaches is not required and does not differ from the general population.PMID:38694392 | PMC:PMC11060300 | DOI:10.1097/MS9.0000000000001903 (Source: Annals of Medicine)

Smoking behaviour in post-acute myocardial infarction patients: cross-sectional study
CONCLUSION: Multinomial logistic regression analysis identified current smoking as a significant predictor of intention to quit in the preparation and contemplation stages. Overall, this study underscores the importance of considering smoking behaviour when evaluating the intention to quit smoking post-MI and highlights the need for tailored interventions and support strategies to address smoking cessation in this population. These findings offer valuable insights for the development of effective strategies aimed at reducing persistent smoking following MI and improving patient outcomes.PMID:38694391 | PMC:PMC11060240 | DO...

Can modulation of gut microbiota affect anthropometric indices in patients with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease? An umbrella meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials
CONCLUSION: In conclusion, the present umbrella meta-analysis showed that although modulation of gut microbiota by administration of probiotics, prebiotics, and synbiotics had promising effects on BMI, no significant change was observed in the WC and weight of the patients. No sufficient data were available for other anthropometric indices including waist-to-hip ratio and waist-to-height ratio and future meta-analyses should be done in this regard.PMID:38694388 | PMC:PMC11060227 | DOI:10.1097/MS9.0000000000001740 (Source: Annals of Medicine)

ST2 levels and neurodegenerative diseases: is this a significant relation?
Ann Med Surg (Lond). 2024 Mar 12;86(5):2812-2817. doi: 10.1097/MS9.0000000000001939. eCollection 2024 May.ABSTRACTInterleukin-33 (IL-33), belonging to the interleukin-1 cytokine family, has a decoy receptor soluble ST2 (sST2). IL-33 is found in oligodendrocytes and astrocytes and is involved in central nervous system healing and repair, whereas ST2 is found in microglia and astrocytes. Some studies have found a link between changes in the IL-33/ST2 pathway and neurodegenerative disorders. This review article investigates the relationship between the interleukin-33 (IL-33)/ST2 pathway and neurodegenerative disorders. It was...
