Monkeypox virus (MPXV) is a zoonotic orthopoxvirus (ORXV) that causes a significant public health concern due to its potential for human-to-human transmission and ability to cause severe disease. Despite the availability of a vaccine, there is currently no specific antiviral treatment for MPXV. The development of effective therapeutic strategies for MPXV is essential to mitigate its harmful impact on society. Various strategies used to treat the MPXV infection include antiviral drugs, immunoglobulins, and supportive care measures. Antiviral drugs, such as cidofovir, brincidofovir, and tecovirimat, have shown promising results in in vitro and animal models, but their efficacy in human MPXV cases is still uncertain. This article provides a comprehensive review of the therapeutic strategies that have been explored for the management of MPXV virus infection. The review further highlights the challenges and limitations associated with the development and implementation of therapeutic strategies for MPXV.

Rotator cuff tendinopathy is a common cause of shoulder pain and dysfunction, presenting in two primary forms: calcific and non-calcific. These subtypes differ significantly in their pathophysiology, clinical manifestations, and natural history, necessitating tailored diagnostic and therapeutic approaches. This review delineates the clinical presentations of calcific rotator cuff tendinopathy (RCCT), characterized by distinct pre-calcific, calcific, and post-calcific stages, and contrasts them with the more insidious, degenerative course of non-calcific rotator cuff tendinopathy.

Introduction: Pulmonary embolism (PE) is a life-threatening condition with well-defined management strategies; however, the presence of a clot-in-transit (CIT)-a mobile thrombus within the right heart-introduces a uniquely high-risk scenario associated with a significantly elevated mortality rate. While several therapeutic approaches are available-including anticoagulation, systemic thrombolysis, surgical embolectomy, and catheter-directed therapies-there is no established consensus on a superior treatment modality. Catheter-based mechanical thrombectomy has emerged as a promising, minimally invasive alternative that mitigates the bleeding risks of systemic thrombolysis and the invasiveness of surgery.

Introduction: Primary central nervous system vasculitis (primary CNS vasculitis) is a rare inflammatory disorder that affects small-to-medium-sized cerebral vessels, often leading to recurrent strokes. Diagnosis is vague due to non-specific neurological symptoms. Imaging findings, cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) analysis and exclusion of systemic vasculitis are essential for diagnosis.

Acute vestibular syndrome (AVS) is characterized by the sudden onset of dizziness or vertigo, accompanied by nausea, vomiting, gait instability, and nystagmus, lasting for more than 24 hours and often persisting for several days to weeks. Central AVS primarily involves central vestibular structures, such as the brainstem and cerebellum, and is most commonly caused by ischemic stroke in the posterior circulation. When acute posterior circulation infarction presents solely with isolated dizziness or vertigo, without other symptoms of central nervous system damage, it is often misdiagnosed as a peripheral vestibular disorder, this can lead to serious consequences.

Background: The safety of acupuncture treatments is crucial for patients. Although acupuncture is generally considered a relatively safe therapeutic modality, acupuncture-related adverse events cannot be entirely avoided. The development and implementation of effective preventive strategies are essential for enhancing clinical safety.
