Experts from the Infectious Diseases Society of America provide updated guidelines for clinicians on COVID-19 prevention.

Pain-related threat and safety learning are altered in the setting of chronic back pain.

Individuals with low back pain responded to educational messaging about self-management differently on the basis of pain intensity.

Therapeutic exposure to opioids in the pediatric care setting likely increases risk for nonmedical opioid use later in life.

Unintentional opioid deaths from July 2017 to June 2020, the pre and post Covid-19 era, are described by key decedent and death scene characteristics.

This study found no evidence that stronger opioids were superior to milder opioids for subacute pain.

Using the Mayo Clinic’s COVID-19 Vaccine Registry, researchers were able to measure the incidence of myocarditis after patients received COVID-19 mRNA vaccination.

Current published research supporting the use of intradiscal mesenchymal stem cells and PRP for discogenic back pain is of low quality.

Researchers conducted a study to assess whether an at-home neutralizing monoclonal antibody infusion program decreases the risk for hospitalization among patients with SARS-CoV-2 infection at increased risk for progression to severe disease.

Fifteen treatments with active tDCS were superior to sham tDCS only with regards to depression and anxiety in fibromyalgia.

Bone density often decreases with age and is closely related to overall physical performance. Researchers studied whether the relationship between bone density and overall physical health extended to oral health as well.

Buprenorphine misuse was trending downward between 2015 and 2019 among American adults with an opioid use disorder.

Study authors conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis to determine the effect of different exercise treatments on pain intensity in adults with chronic low back pain.

Researchers conducted a study to assess the effectiveness of mRNA-based vaccines for protection against SARS-CoV-2 infection among health care workers.

Several metabolic disorders have been linked with an increased risk of contracting COVID-19. Researchers sought to discover whether women with polycystic ovary syndrome also fell into this higher-risk category.

Investigators conducted a study that compared the risk for intubation or death with convalescent plasma vs standard care for the treatment of patients hospitalized with COVID-19.

Long-term pain trajectories following joint arthroplasty are affected by emotional distress and cognitive flexibility.

These clinical practice guidelines summarize the evidence for the use of medical cannabis and cannabinoids in chronic pain.

Investigators conducted a study to assess immune responses among individuals vaccinated against SARS-CoV-2 infection with low-dose mRNA-1273.

Researchers compared the results of self-collected saliva and anterior nasal swab samples vs nasopharyngeal swab samples collected by healthcare workers used to test for SARS-CoV-2 infection.

Patients with uveitis of an infectious etiology also experienced more detachment.

Investigators conducted a systematic literature review and meta-analysis to assess the association between prior statin use and outcomes in patients with COVID-19.

The researchers examined SARS-CoV-2 genomes isolated from individuals believed to have experienced vaccine breakthrough and compared them to the background of SARS-CoV-2 sequences from Washington State over the same time period.

Investigators sought to determine whether a relationship exists between estradiol level and bone mineral density.

Researchers aimed to assess the efficacy and safety of oral imatinib in hospitalized patients with COVID-19 who required supplemental oxygen administration.

Investigators evaluated the impact of interventions including infectious disease consultation, addiction consultation, case management, and medications for opioid use disorder on clinical cure and retention in addiction care for individuals experiencing homelessness.
