Septic Shock From Pan-Spinal Epidural Abscess Attributed to Recent Acupuncture and Trigger Point Injections for Acute Lower Back Pain in a Previously Undiagnosed Diabetic Patient: A Case Report
We report the case of a 60-year-old woman with undiagnosed diabetes mellitus who presented to the hospital with a complaint of progressive altered mental status for the past two days. Eight days prior to presentation, the patient tripped over a pillow at home and developed mildly nagging, acute lower back pain. Upon the recommendation of her friends, she underwent two sessions of acupuncture around the lumbar area on days six and five prior to being brought to the hospital. She also saw her primary care physician on day three prior to presentation, who performed a history and physical examination and, after feeling that sh...

Effect of traditional Chinese medicine-based rehabilitation nursing combined with scalp acupuncture on negative emotions and quality of life of patients with stroke: A randomized controlled trial
This study aimed to analyze the effect of traditional Chinese medicine-based rehabilitation nursing combined with scalp acupuncture (TCMRN + SA) on negative emotions and the quality of life of patients with stroke. Methods: 102 patients with stroke admitted to The First People’s Hospital of Huzhou from September 2019 to December 2020 were included in this study using the convenience sampling method and split into an observation group and a control group at random (n = 51 in each group). Individuals in the control group received TCMRN, whereas patients in the observation group received TCMRN + SA. Furthermore, the ...

Effect of Acupuncture Treatment on Post-stroke Depression by Using Diamond-Like Ultra-Thin Nano-Coating Technology
This study aimed to explore the effect of acupuncture on account of composite diamond-like nano-membrane sensors (DLNF) sensors on post-stroke depression. Titanium/antigen-diamond-like carbon (Ti/Ag-DLC) composite DLNF sensors were prepared by coating Ti and Ag composites on the surface of DLC by radio frequency magnetron sputtering technology. The scanning electron microscope (SEM), X-ray photoelectron spectrometer (XPS), Raman spectrometer, nanoindenter, and sliding friction tester were adopted to analyze the characterization of Ti/Ag-DLC composite membrane, the chemical state of the main constituent elements on the surf...

Based on voxel-based morphological analysis to investigate the effect of acupuncture-rehabilitation therapy on hippocampal volume and its neuroprotective mechanism in patients with vascular cognitive impairment with type 2 diabetes mellitus: A study protocol
Discussion: This trial can clarify the effect of acupuncture-rehabilitation therapy on hippocampal volume and its intervention mechanism on oxidative stress injury in VCI patients with T2DM, and clarify the scientific connotation of its neuroprotective mechanism in the VCI patients with T2DM, in order to provide a theoretical basis for the clinical application of acupuncture-rehabilitation therapy in the treatment of VCI. Trial registration: Chinese Clinical Trial Registry (ChiCTR), ChiCTR2100047803. Registered 26 June, https://www.chictr.org.cn/showproj.aspx?proj=128707

Cost-effectiveness of upper extremity dry needling in the rehabilitation of patients with stroke
DISCUSSION: Cost-effectiveness with responder rate results were favourable for the DN group and were confirmed by the sensitivity analysis according to levels of care. In addition, our findings revealed that 4 weeks of treatment could be more cost-effective than 8 weeks. DN treatment of the upper extremity appears to be cost-effective based on the rate of responders measured using the MMAS scale.PMID:34856821 | DOI:10.1177/09645284211055750
