The term 'ultra-processed food' emerged in the 1980s, mostly used in reference to highly-processed convenience foods and snacks, often energy-dense, poor in nutrients, and inclusive of various synthetic additives such as emulsifiers, colors, artificial sweeteners, and/or flavor enhancers. Concern over such foods was part of the growing holistic and environmental health movements of the 1970-80s; yet, those who raised alarm about the encroachment of ultra-processed foods were often labeled, especially by industry and their powerful allies, as 'food faddists' and 'pseudoscientists'...

BACKGROUND: Patients with interstitial cystitis/bladder pain syndrome (IC/BPS) commonly face a decline in their quality of life and social functioning upon discontinuation of conventional therapy, which is known for its limited efficacy and the risk of relapse. While the existing evidence is somewhat restricted, acupuncture is being explored as a potential and effective treatment option for IC/BPS.

BACKGROUND: Stress urinary incontinence (SUI) significantly impacts women's health and imposes substantial mental and socio-economic burdens. Acupuncture and moxibustion, either alone or in combination with other non-surgical therapies, are recognized as effective treatments for SUI. This study aimed to assess the efficacy of various treatments for women with SUI using network meta-analysis (NMA). METHOD: We systematically searched databases up until June 30, 2022, to identify relevant randomized controlled trials (RCTs) focusing on SUI in women...

JOURNAL ARTICLE
Huiyi Huang, Yongguang Yu, Yuetong Peng, Zhonghua Fu
Phantom limb pain (PLP) is a distressing consequence commonly encountered by individuals who have undergone amputations. The efficacy of treatment options for PLP is limited. In this study, we present a case of a 64-year-old male who suffered from PLP for a duration of 10 years following an above-the-knee amputation. Despite unsuccessful attempts with painkillers and neurotrophic drugs over the course of a decade, the patient sought relief through Fu's Subcutaneous Needling (FSN), an innovative acupuncture therapy that specifically targets the subcutaneous tissue for pain management...

JOURNAL ARTICLE
Ahmad Hassan, Zhang Deshun
Forest ecosystems have been acknowledged as a viable intervention for mitigating mental stress. However, there is a scarcity of research investigating the impact of forest environments on sleep. This study primarily investigated the physiological and psychological effects of sleep in a forest environment. It included a sample of 50 Chinese young adult students. A comparative analysis was conducted to examine the impact of sleeping in a forest environment as opposed to a controlled room setting (control). The researchers collected data on blood pressure, electroencephalography (EEG), and psychological markers...

JOURNAL ARTICLE
Donna Thomas, Graeme O'Connor
Near death experiences (NDEs) can occur during life-threatening events. In this article, we present preliminary findings from a case study series. We highlight experiences of children that are synchronous with the basic elements of near death experiences (NDEs) and discuss how children describe their own experiences. Children reported unsolicited NDE type experiences that included out of body experiences, bright lights, bedside visions, bi-location and visiting celestial places. The aim of the article is to show that children are an important research population for the study of near-death experiences...
