TL;DR: An overview of the epidemiology of zygapophyseal joint pain, patient selection and outcomes data associated with RFA, and risks and contraindications of the procedure is provided in this article .

TL;DR: In this article , the triathlete should not be seen merely as a cyclist who also swims and runs, but rather as a triathlon athlete who also runs and swims.

TL;DR: In this article , the authors highlight the advantages, disadvantages, and potential side effects of different VAPs approaches and compare the advantages and disadvantages of each approach, and highlight the most effective and least invasive procedures with the greatest benefits and fewest complications.

TL;DR: The overall activity of cycling, although profoundly heterogenous, often occurs with mechanisms consistent with motor vehicle collisions as discussed by the authors, and advanced trauma life support is the standard of care for cyclists.

TL;DR: Although there is no dietary pattern than has been proven to be effective for reducing the number of relapses or enhancing lesions in patients with MS, several pilot studies have demonstrated the efficacy of dietary plans to reduce MS-related symptoms as discussed by the authors .

TL;DR: In this paper , a dressing that provides the appropriate level of moisture, and management of edema, and can assist in contracture prevention and limb protection, is recommended for post amputation wound and skin management.

TL;DR: Several techniques are available to block the sympathetic nervous system (SNS) and provide options that improve analgesia and can be individualized to a particular patient's needs and disease state as discussed by the authors .

TL;DR: In this article , the impact of obesity on lifespan and cardiometabolic disease in mice and humans was discussed and different types of fasting can help prevent and treat them, which can reduce obesity and other disease risk factors, lower morbidity and extend healthspan.

TL;DR: In this article , the role of nutrition in wound prevention, management, and treatment is discussed, and individualized interventions designed to address the individual's nutrition diagnosis are presented, including assessment and optimization of nutritional status as part of a comprehensive treatment plan.

TL;DR: In this paper , the authors discuss the current epidemiology of cycling injuries, and known prevention strategies, specifically individual recommended practices related to helmet use in both adult and pediatric populations, and discuss different ways in which the environment plays a role in protecting cyclists from injuries and what environmental changes have been adopted to reduce the likelihood for cycling injuries.

TL;DR: In this paper , the authors discuss patient selection criteria, medication selection, risks, complications, supporting data, and future directions of intrathecal drug delivery systems for chronic pain management.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors discuss the current epidemiology of cycling injuries, and known prevention strategies, specifically individual recommended practices related to helmet use in both adult and pediatric populations, and discuss different ways in which the environment plays a role in protecting cyclists from injuries and what environmental changes have been adopted to reduce the likelihood for cycling injuries.

TL;DR: In this paper , the authors propose to assess the cyclist dynamically because kinematics and muscle patterns are influenced by their type of riding and fatigue and intensity, and fine tune the bicycle configuration according to the specific needs and workloads of the cyclist.

TL;DR: There are three main interventional approaches including: interlaminar (IL), transforaminal (TF), and caudal as discussed by the authors , and the risks and efficacy data vary between these routes of injection and the underlying pathology with the TF route having the most robust efficacy data.

TL;DR: A multidisciplinary approach from a team of health care professionals is required to address both extrinsic and intrinsic factors in the management of pressure injuries as mentioned in this paper , where local wound care is generally recommended for stages 1 to 2 pressure injuries and surgical intervention for stages 3 to 4.

TL;DR: The effects of mycotoxins can present across all body systems, and the resulting symptoms can be acute, cumulative, and chronic as mentioned in this paper , and these effects can also present alongside other clinical entities.

TL;DR: In this article , the use of imaging guidance has been recommended to improve patient outcome and safety, however, the use has not been recommended for all myofascial pain syndromes.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors propose to assess the cyclist dynamically because kinematics and muscle patterns are influenced by their type of riding and fatigue and intensity, and fine tune the bicycle configuration according to the specific needs and workloads of the cyclist.

TL;DR: In this article , the functional medicine matrix was used to evaluate small intestinal bacterial overgrowth (SIBO) in common conditions such as irritable bowel syndrome, obesity, cirrhosis, and Parkinson.

TL;DR: In this paper, a review of recent advancements in nutrition for cycling performance is presented, focusing on the wide range of cycling events and the different environments in which events take place pose a variety of nutritionrelated challenges for cyclists.

TL;DR: In this article , the authors used obesity and type 2 diabetes as examples of toxicant-induced chronic diseases and the implications for health care directives to both identify, prevent, and treat these exposures are reviewed.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors evaluated the presence of fear or anxiety after cycling crashes and examined factors associated with this mechanism of injury through a survey and found that post-crash fear was associated with female gender, a history of depression, and greater crash severity.

TL;DR: In this paper , a review of recent advancements in nutrition for cycling performance is presented, focusing on the wide range of cycling events and the different environments in which events take place pose a variety of nutritionrelated challenges for cyclists.

TL;DR: A bicycle fit assessment is recommended for any ongoing symptoms of upper extremity nerve injuries in cyclists as discussed by the authors , such as carpal tunnel syndrome and ulnar neuropathy at the wrist, which is more common in mountain biking.

TL;DR: The functional medicine model of care is focused on patient-centered rather than disease-centered care as discussed by the authors , which incorporates the patient's voice or experience of their condition alongside conventional biological factors to provide a more complete account of health.

TL;DR: In this paper , the authors explored common lower extremity and lumbar back overuse injuries in cyclists and their medical management and concluded that physicians should view these individuals as integral members of the team to alleviate current and prevent future injury.

TL;DR: In this article , the authors synthesize the recent literature on orthobiologic techniques for surgical augmentation, with focus on several key areas including meniscus repair, osteochondral grafting, and rotator cuff repair.

TL;DR: The knowledge of anatomy and nerve distribution patterns is paramount for optimal use of peripheral nerve blocks in the management of chronic pain conditions as mentioned in this paper , and can be integrated into pain practices effectively to offer patients pain relief.
