The subject of this study is a 42-year-old male with no previous medical history. Neurological symptoms suddenly appeared three months prior to the hospital admission. An MRI revealed hernias of intervertebral discs between C4-C5, C5-C6, and C6-C7 and myelopathy in the most compressed parts of the spinal cord (C4-C5-C6 level). Cervical spondylodesis from anterior access, C3-C6 laminectomy, and spinal decompression were performed. The patient's postoperative symptoms worsened suddenly with the presence of tetraparesis. After prolonged rehabilitation, satisfactory motor function was regained. No possible cause for the development of myelopathy was apparent, although the patient recalled experiencing an injury 20 years earlier. Despite cervical injuries being challenging to diagnose and presenting no clinical symptoms at first, an almost complete recovery after the late onset of symptoms is possible with proper surgical treatment and rehabilitation.","PeriodicalId":23643,"journal":{"name":"Wiadomosci lekarskie","volume":"78 3","pages":"643-650"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144020893","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It still has many supporters. For years, it has been used in many countries to relieve labor pains, postoperative pains, pains caused by osteoarthritis, toothaches, and headaches. The World Health Organization (WHO) has significantly expanded the indications for the use of acupuncture. The primary aim of this article is to critically evaluate whether acupuncture is a scientifically validated therapeutic intervention or primarily a placebo effect? Material and methods: The material and methods section of this article involves a comprehensive review of existing literature, including systematic reviews, randomized controlled trials (RCTs), and meta-analyses on acupuncture. The review also includes observational data on patient outcomes, potential risks, and reported complications. The effectiveness of acupuncture has been extensively studied, with varying levels of scientific support for different conditions. According to the National Institutes of Health (NIH), the strongest evidence supports acupuncture's effectiveness in dental pain, postoperative nausea and vomiting, chemotherapy-induced nausea, and pregnancy-related nausea. Studies on lower back pain, headaches, and knee osteoarthritis have shown moderate benefits, leading some physicians to recommend acupuncture as a complementary therapy. An analysis of studies has shown the effectiveness of acupuncture in the treatment of nausea and headaches. The results also showed the benefits of using this method in relieving back pain. Acupuncture has been shown to be one option for pain relief, but it needs more research.","PeriodicalId":23643,"journal":{"name":"Wiadomosci lekarskie","volume":"78 3","pages":"595-601"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144062263","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This review examines the physiological mechanisms behind heat therapy, its efficacy in relieving pain, and its role in improving mobility and quality of life. By improving blood circulation, reducing muscle stiffness, and reducing inflammation, heat therapy offers promise as an alternative or complement to conventional treatments. Various methods, including heat packs and thermal pillows, have been studied for their effects on acute and chronic pain. This review highlights key findings from clinical trials and systematic analyses, demonstrating significant reductions in pain intensity and functional impairment. Despite its benefits, aspects such as patient compliance and safety remain important factors in its clinical use. Future research should focus on optimizing treatment parameters and integrating heat therapy with other rehabilitation strategies to maximize its therapeutic potential. This comprehensive review highlights the need for a broader perspective and further research on the long-term effectiveness of heat-based interventions in the treatment of low back pain.","PeriodicalId":23643,"journal":{"name":"Wiadomosci lekarskie","volume":"78 3","pages":"615-620"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144039100","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Spondylodiscitis is a infection of the spine involving the vertebral body and/or intervertebral disc, often caused by Staphylococcus aureus and Enterobacteriaceae. It most commonly affects the lumbar spine, begins in the vertebral body endplates and can lead to destruction of bone structures and involvement of the intervertebral disc and surrounding tissues. A 53-year-old man developed lumbar spine pain after an infection of unknown origin accompanied by fever and weakness. After two weeks, when the pain worsened and radiated to the left buttock, an MR examination showed features of L3/L4 spondylodiscitis. During hospitalization, a follow-up MR examination revealed destruction of the L3 and L4 vertebral bodies, inflammatory changes within the L3/L4 intervertebral disc, and widening of the intervertebral space. Inflammatory granules in the anterior part of the spinal canal with slight pressure on the meningeal sac were identified. A CT scan confirmed vertebral destruction. Empirical antibiotic therapy (clindamycin, ceftriaxone, vancomycin, rifampicin) was followed by spinal stabilization. After a year, CT scan showed improvement - reduced destruction of the L3/L4 vertebral bodies and no palpable infiltrative lesions. The stabilizing material was removed. Spondylodiscitis is a infection of the spine, often diagnosed late because of nonspecific symptoms such as back pain and fever. The MRI is the gold standard for diagnosis. Diagnosis is based on clinical, laboratory and imaging findings. It requires the cooperation of surgeons, radiologists and microbiologists. Early detection improves prognosis and quality of life.","PeriodicalId":23643,"journal":{"name":"Wiadomosci lekarskie","volume":"78 3","pages":"651-656"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144040960","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
