Aim: To assess the efficacy of the electron modulation procedure (EMP) in reducing chronic musculoskeletal pain acutely over distinct anatomical areas. Materials & methods: We performed a retrospective analysis of 223 patients who received a single EMP treatment for various chronic musculoskeletal pain issues. Pain levels, recorded before and after receiving EMP, were analyzed at distinct anatomical musculoskeletal areas. Results & conclusion: The effect of the EMP treatments in reducing musculoskeletal pain was statistically significant at the 5% level. Those with hip/gluteal and ankle pain had the highest (92%) and lowest (58%) pain elimination rate, respectively. Statistical evidence supported the idea that EMP treatment can quickly reduce musculoskeletal pain. Distinct anatomical musculoskeletal areas responded differently to EMP treatment.

Urbanisation exposes avian wildlife to an array of environmental stressors that result in clinical admission and hospitalisation. The aim of this pilot study was to conduct a retrospective analysis of clinical data and characterise this based on categories of stress experienced by avian wildlife patients. The results from this study indicated that impact injuries (n = 33, 25%) and vehicle-related injuries (n = 33, 25%) were the most common occurring preliminary stressors that resulted in the hospitalisation of avian wildlife. The most common outcome of avian patients that suffered from vehicle-related injuries was euthanasia (n = 15, 45%), as was avian patients that suffered from impact injuries (n = 16, 48%). Immobility (n = 105, 61%) and abnormal behaviour (n = 24, 14%) were the most commonly occurring primary stressors of avian patients. Finally, trauma (n = 51, 32%) and fractures (n = 44, 27%) were the most common occurring secondary stressors in avian patients. The most common outcome of all these stressors was euthanasia. This study provided further evidence towards the notion that human- and urbanisation-related stressors are the main causes of hospitalisation of avian wildlife, but also indicated that birds admitted as a result of human-related stressors are more likely to be euthanised than released. This study also provided a categorisation system for the stressors identified in avian wildlife patients (preliminary, primary and secondary) that may be used to monitor the stress categories of wildlife patients and gain a deeper understanding of the complex notion of stress.

Abstract Background Smooth and rough colony morphotypes of Mycobacterium abscessus are associated with virulence, but some isolates form both smooth and rough colonies, impeding successful morphotype identification. Reportedly, smooth/rough morphotypes are also related to the glycopeptidolipid (GPL) genotype. However, the accuracy of GPL genotyping to discriminate morphotypes and the relationship between GPL genotype and clinical characteristics of M abscessus lung disease have not been verified. Methods A retrospective analysis of colony morphology, GPL genotype, and clinical data from 182 patients with M abscessus lung disease was conducted. Results Of 194 clinical isolates, 126 (65.0%), 15 (7.7%), and 53 (27.3%) exhibited rough, smooth, and mixed colony morphotypes, respectively. Glycopeptidolipid genotyping indicated that 86.7% (13 of 15) of smooth isolates belonged to the GPL-wild type (WT) group, whereas 98.4% (124 of 126) of rough isolates belonged to the GPL-mutant type (MUT) group. Therefore, GPL genotyping accurately distinguished between smooth and rough morphotypes. Mixed colony morphotypes were also divided into GPL-WT (18.9%) and GPL-MUT (81.1%) groups. Further analysis revealed that patients infected with the GPL-MUT group presented with significantly worse baseline clinical characteristics and exacerbated episodes of lung disease. Conclusions Glycopeptidolipid genotyping accurately distinguishes smooth and rough colony morphotypes. Patients infected with the GPL-MUT genotype exhibit worse clinical characteristics and are at a higher risk of exacerbated lung disease.

Objective: To explore the causes, diagnosis and treatment of gastric paralysis after radical resection of colon cancer. Methods: A retrospective analysis was performed on the clinical data of 12 cases of patients with gastroparesis syndrome after colon cancer surgery in our department from January, 2011 to December, 2013. Results: Gastric paralysis after radical resection of colon cancer is caused by multiple factors and its incidence is linked to factors like nervous and mental factors, surgical traumas, post-surgical metabolic disorders and anesthesia drugs and other factors. All patients are healed with non-surgical treatment. Conclusions: Comprehensive and conservative treatments are carried out for gastric paralysis after radical resection of colon cancer and satisfactory curative effects can be obtained. Surgical treatment should be chosen carefully and considerately.
