Article Abstract

Nexplanon is a subdermal contraceptive implant that is generally well tolerated; however, rare complications can occur. Although typical adverse events include localized pain and nerve irritation along specific dermatomes, diffuse neuropathic symptoms are uncommon. This case report suggests that subclinical edema-induced nerve compression, often accompanied by an inflammatory response, may contribute to such atypical presentations.

Background: Despite a surge in neuropathic pain (NP) biomarker research over the past 2 decades, the translation of discoveries into clinical practice remains slow. To understand this translational gap, we conducted a comprehensive bibliometric analysis to map the field's evolution, intellectual structure, and strategic challenges.

Methods: We conducted a bibliometric analysis of NP biomarker-related publications from 2004 to 2024 using the Web of Science Core Collection (WoSCC) database.

Nonhealing wounds are increasingly prevalent, present in 1% to 2% of the global population, with higher incidence in geriatric patients. These chronic wounds pose challenges to older adult patients owing to physiologic changes that hinder healing, common medical comorbidities that promote inflammation and damage microcirculation, poor nutritional status and mobility, and psychosocial barriers to receiving care. In this literature review, the epidemiology, pathophysiology, systems costs, and management of chronic venous leg ulcers, arterial ulcers, and diabetic foot wounds in older adult patients are investigated.

Background: Parkinson's disease (PD) is a common neurodegenerative disorder of the central nervous system. Neuropathic pain (NP) is a type of symptom that is often overlooked but significantly affects the quality of life of patients. Its etiology is complex, and the specific molecular mechanism is still unclear.

Central post-stroke pain (CPSP) is an intractable neuropathic pain syndrome. Dual-target deep brain stimulation (DBS), which integrates sensory thalamic modulation and endogenous analgesic pathways, has emerged as a potential intervention; however, clinical evidence remains scarce. We report a 54-year-old woman who developed right-sided limb paresthesia progressing to persistent right hemibody pain following a left thalamic hemorrhage.
