Impact of Respiratory Viruses and SARS-CoV-2 on Febrile Seizures in Saudi Children: Insights into Etiologies, Gender, and Familial Associations
CONCLUSIONS In Saudi children with febrile seizures, distinct viral etiologies, sex, and familial links play pivotal roles. Given regional viral variations, region-tailored diagnostic and therapeutic strategies are paramount. A multicenter prospective cohort study is essential for comprehensive understanding.PMID:38192092 | PMC:PMC10787381 | DOI:10.12659/MSM.942478 (Source: Medical Science Monitor)

Predictive Factors for Residual Low Back Pain Following Percutaneous Endoscopic Lumbar Discectomy in Patients with Lumbar Disc Herniation
CONCLUSIONS In patients with LDH, MCs type I, severe baseline LBP, and fatty infiltration of the paravertebral muscles were predictive factors for residual LBP after PELD. Our study suggests that spine surgeons should pay more attention to these imaging parameters, which may be a helpful indicator for the choice of surgical modality.PMID:38183217 | DOI:10.12659/MSM.942231 (Source: Medical Science Monitor)
