Article Abstract
Background: Recreation, transportation and sport are the most common uses of bicycles. Unfortunately, repetitive bicycle use can also cause injuries, such as osteoarticular direct and undirect traumatisms and sometimes compression nerve entrapment caused by an extrinsic compressive force.
Purpose: The aim of the study is to define diagnostic process, preventive strategies, and treatment of ulnar and median neuropathies in cyclists.
Study Design: Systematic review.
Methods: A search was conducted on PubMed, EMBASE, the Cochrane Library, and Web of Science. Two reviewers independently reviewed articles and came to a consensus about which ones to include. The authors excluded all duplicates, articles involving individuals with other sport-related injuries than cycling, and articles unrelated to peripheral neuropathies. Articles were included if hand palsy was due to peripheral compression of ulnar or median nerve in cyclists.
Results: The search identified 15,371 articles with the keywords "Peripheral Nervous System Diseases" OR "neuropathy" OR "ulnar palsy" OR "median palsy" AND "bicycling" OR "bike" OR "bicycle" OR "cyclist". The reviewers analyzed 48 full texts. There were 20 publications that met the criteria and were included in the systematic review. These articles were used to describe the main methods used for diagnosis, prevention and treatment of hand neuropathy of cyclists.
Conclusion: Despite the range of treatment available for peripheral neuropathies, a unique and common protocol is lacking on this specific topic. For this reason, we delineate a definitive recovery protocol to show the best therapeutic methodologies present in the current literature. Preventive strategies, period of rest since the beginning of the symptomatology, rehabilitation training with muscle strengthening, orthoses at night are the first strategies, but if the symptoms persist, pharmacologic treatment and eventual surgical decompression are sometimes the unique solution.

Macrophage cannibalism: efferocytosis in atherosclerosis.
Curr Opin Lipidol
August 2025
Cardiometabolic Immunity Laboratory, Department of Physiology, Monash Biomedicine Discovery Institute (BDI) and Victorian Heart Institute (VHI), Monash University, Melbourne, Victoria, Australia.
Purpose Of Review: This review explores the evolving understanding of efferocytosis - the clearance of dead or dying cells by phagocytes - in the context of atherosclerosis. It highlights recent discovers in cell death modalities, impaired clearance mechanisms and emerging therapeutic strategies aimed at restoring efferocytosis to stabilize plaques and resolve inflammation.
Recent Findings: Recent studies have expanded the scope of efferocytosis beyond apoptotic cells to include other pro-inflammatory cell death modes, including pyroptosis, necroptosis and ferroptosis, revealing context-dependent clearance efficiency and immunological outcomes.

Background: Effective risk communication is essential in managing cardiovascular disease, the leading cause of global mortality. Clear communication between patients and physicians supports informed decision-making, yet comprehension gaps persist. We aimed to assess the quality of risk communication during hospital admissions for cardiovascular events, from patient and physician perspectives, and identify discrepancies in risk perception and associated factors.

Background/aims: Ampullary adenomas are precancerous lesions requiring accurate diagnosis and timely intervention to prevent malignant transformation. Endoscopic papillectomy (EP) has emerged as a less invasive alternative to surgery; however, technical variations in practice remain. This study evaluated contemporary real-world approaches to the diagnosis, treatment, and surveillance of ampullary adenomas among pancreatobiliary endoscopists.

Tuberculosis, caused by , persists as a significant worldwide health issue, resulting in millions of infections and fatalities each year. Treatment predominantly depends on first-line antibiotics, including Isoniazid (INH) and Rifampicin (RIF). Nevertheless, extended use of these medications is linked to considerable adverse effects, leading to various organ toxicities, especially hepatotoxicity and nephrotoxicity.
