BACKGROUND: Low back pain (LBP) represents a worldwide burden with rising disability, especially in low- and middle-income countries. Indigenous Peoples are exposed to many risk factors for LBP and seem to have overall worse health and higher mortality compared to non-Indigenous. This article aims to provide a topical overview of LBP in Indigenous Peoples. METHODS: A comprehensive search was done using the keywords "Indigenous" and "back pain." Secondly, a cross-reference search of the citations list of the included articles was conducted...

Alzheimer's disease (AD) is the most common cause of dementia, a general term for memory loss and decline in other cognitive abilities enough to interfere with daily life. AD accounts for 60% to 80% of dementia cases. The late stage of AD tends to be the shortest stage and, on average, lasts 1 to 2 years. As this stage of the condition progresses, it requires continuous intensive long-term care and around-the-clock intensive care. The Alzheimer's Association stands firm in its commitment to supporting individuals living with AD and other dementia, their care partners, and their health-care providers as they navigate treatment and care decisions across the continuum of the disease...

Rehabilitation is an important and necessary part of local and global healthcare services along with treatment and palliative care, prevention of disease, and promotion of good health. The rehabilitation process helps older and young adults even children to become as independent as possible in activities of daily life and enables participation in useful living activities, recreation, work, and education. The technology of Artificial Intelligence (AI) has evolved significantly in recent years. Many activities related to rehabilitation have been getting benefits from using AI techniques...

OBJECTIVES: Previous studies have suggested that experimental pain sensitivity is associated with cognitive function. The aim of this study is to assess this relationship in a large population-based sample. METHODS: We included 5,753 participants (aged 40-84 years) from the seventh wave of the population-based Tromsø Study who had been examined with cognitive tests and experimental pain assessments, and for whom information on covariates were available. Cox regression models were fitted using standardized scores on cognitive tests (12-word immediate recall test, digit symbol coding test, and Mini-Mental State Examination [MMS-E]) as the independent variable and cold pressor or cuff pressure pain tolerance as the dependent variables...

In 2019, the Cancer Cachexia Web Questionnaire Survey(J-EPOCC)was conducted among cancer patients, their families and healthcare professionals in Japan, and it showed that the term"cancer cachexia"was highly recognized among health care professionals, whereas the staging and criteria for cancer cachexia defined by European Palliative Care Research Collaborative( EPCRC)was less understood. Also, many healthcare professionals tended to consider the term"cancer cachexia" as the terminal stage of cancer, and most of them lacked the knowledge that cancer cachexia is a disease complication which is potentially developed from the early stage of cancer...

Colorectal cancer(CRC)is one of the most commonly diagnosed cancers worldwide. Unresectable advanced, metastatic or recurrent CRC(mCRC)remains incurable for most patients. Systemic chemotherapy is standard treatment for patients with mCRC. The goals of systemic chemotherapy include prolonging survival by stopping cancer progression and palliation. In recent years, advances in the treatment of mCRC have enabled personalized care based on the tumor's molecular profile with improved outcomes for some subtypes...

Balkan endemic nephropathy (BEN) is a rare progressive chronic renal disease found in residents living along the Balkan peninsula. We present a 92-year-old female who complained initially of cardio-respiratory symptoms and was found to have an acute hypoxemic respiratory failure with hypervolemia. The patient underwent computed tomography imaging and was found to have bilateral pleural effusions and moderate left-sided renal atrophy with left-sided hydronephrosis. The patient underwent diuresis for fluid overload and was treated with broad-spectrum antibiotics for hospital-acquired pneumonia...

BACKGROUND: The desire to die can occur in palliative care patients with a prevalence of up to 22%. Not every desire to die is accompanied by a pressure to act, but usually by a burden that can arise from various factors. To address this burden appropriately, health care workers should be trained. Based on an evaluated course on handling the desire to die, an elective course for medical students was developed and evaluated. In order to identify the impact of the elective course's content, a comparison of attitudes towards assisted dying with two other participant groups was conducted...

BACKGROUND: Symptom assessment is key to effective symptom management and palliative care for patients with advanced cancer. Symptom prevalence and severity estimates vary widely, possibly dependent on the assessment tool used. Are symptoms specifically asked about or must the patients add them as additional symptoms? This study compared the prevalence and severity of patient-reported symptoms in two different versions of a multi-symptom assessment tool. In one version, three symptoms dry mouth, constipation, sleep problems were among those systematically assessed, while in the other, these symptoms had to be added as an "Other problem"...

Morbidity and mortality associated with bereavement is an important public health issue, yet economic and resource investments to effectively implement and sustain integrated bereavement services are sorely lacking at national and global levels. Although bereavement support is a component of palliative care provision, continuity of care for bereaved individuals is often not standard practice in palliative and end-of-life contexts. In addition to potentially provoking feelings of abandonment, failure to extend family-centred care after a patient's death can leave bereaved families without access to crucial psychosocial support and at risk for illnesses that exacerbate the already substantial public health toll of interpersonal loss...

BACKGROUND: Enhanced communication in end-of-life care (EOL) improves preparation and treatment decisions for patients with advanced cancer, affecting their quality of life at the end of life. Question prompt list (QPL) has been shown to enhance physician-patient communication in patients with cancer, but there is a lack of systematic review and meta-analysis for those with advanced cancer. Enhanced communication in end-of-life care improves preparation and treatment decisions for patients with advanced cancer, affecting their quality of life at the end of life...
