Surgical treatment of symptomatic pineal cysts without hydrocephalus —meta-analysis of the published literature
ConclusionsAlthough the results support the role of surgery in the management of nhSPCs, they have to be interpreted with a great deal of caution as the current evidence is limited, consisting only of case reports and retrospective surgical series.

As a pain management specialist at MemorialCare Orange Coast Medical Center in Fountain Valley, Calif., he didn’t anticipate leaving behind the short-term use of opioids altogether, since they work so well for post-surgical pain. But he wanted to recommend a remedy that was safer and still effective.
That turned out to be acupuncture.

Hydroxyurea treatment for sickle cell anemia during pregnancy and lactation: current evidence and knowledge gaps
AbstractSickle cell anemia (SCA) is a life-threatening genetic condition contributing to high-risk pregnancies affecting both the mother and fetus.

Providing continuous management with healthy red blood cell function and avoiding SCA-associated complications, such as pain crises, acute chest syndrome, and stroke, are crucial for a healthy pregnancy.
