Objective: Interventional pain management has been recognized over the last couple of decades for treating chronic-pain syndromes. Acupuncture is a nonpharmacologic therapeutic option for pain management and may be an option for different patients with contraindications for interventional pain management. This review explores this options. Method: This limited review examines the role of acupuncture for managing head-and-neck pain and lower-back pain, according to interventional pain management. Conclusions: Acupuncture at various points, corresponding to the stellate ganglion, which is ST 10 Shuitu, and corresponding to the splanchnic nerve and the facet joint of the lumbar vertebra - which are Ex-B2 paravertebra - can be applied for pain management in the head-and-neck area and in the lower-back area. According to various research findings, acupuncture is effective and safe for reducing pain in the head and neck area, as well as in the lower back. © Copyright 2021, Mary Ann Liebert, Inc., publishers 2021. |

Objective: Obesity, a condition with serious complications, needs special attention. It is a complex and multifactorial problem and regulation of calorie balance involving various humoral and central factors is the main key for managing obesity. In addition, there is an increase in various proinflammatory cytokines and an increase in oxidative stress. There is a need to discover a useful therapy for obesity management. The goal of this review was to examine the literature on electroacupuncture (EA) as a potential therapy. Methods: This review explores the literature on EA, which has proven to be effective for inducing weight loss in experimental human and animal studies. Both continuous and dense-disperse EA waves have their own roles in hormone regulation of obesity using ST 25, CV 9, CV 12, CV 4, SP 6, ST 36, and ST 44; this is discussed the associated mechanism related to this is through suppression of various orexigenic peptides, enhancement of anorexigenic peptides, suppression of inflammatory factors, and improvement in the balance of pro-oxidants and antioxidants. Conclusions: The absence of another definitive therapy for obesity and EA's minimal side-effects make it a potential therapy for managing obesity. © Copyright 2021, Mary Ann Liebert, Inc., publishers 2021. |

Background: Infertility affects ∼15%-20% of couples. Of the 16.7% infertility rate reported based on Word Health Organisation questionnaire data, 6.4% of cases are associated with male factors. Male infertility can result from abnormal semen parameters; oligoasthenoteratozoospermia (OAT) is the most common diagnosis. Acupuncture is an ancient method that has been used for centuries to treat and prevent various conditions. In modern medicine, it is gaining popularity as a complementary infertility therapy. Case: A 41-year-old male presented to the Medical Acupuncture Department of Dr. Cipto Mangunkusumo Hospital (in Jakarta, Indonesia) because he wanted to have a child. His semen was analyzed, and he was diagnosed with severe OAT. Manual acupuncture therapy was performed at CV 3, CV 4, CV 5, CV 6, CV 7, ST 29, SP 6, SP 3, ST 36, and KI 3, alternating with KI 7 5 days per week and at LR 8 once per week, for a total of 28 sessions. Results: Semen analysis after 2 series of manual acupuncture treatments revealed improvement, especially in sperm motility, from 25% to 33% and then to 67% after the first and second serial therapies, respectively, changing the diagnosis from severe OAT to severe oligoteratozoospermia. Conclusions: Manual acupuncture combined with medication improves male fertility, especially sperm motility. © Copyright 2021, Mary Ann Liebert, Inc., publishers 2021. |

Background: Tendinitis is a term that is often used to describe various regional musculoskeletal conditions that are common and often occur, which are described mainly by pain and disability at the affected site. In calcareous (or calcific) tendinitis (CT) of the shoulder, a calcified deposit (hydroxyapatite) is located within 1 or more of the rotator cuff tendons (commonly the supraspinatus). CT is found in 10%-42% of chronic shoulder pain. Conservative treatment is always the first line of treatment. Acupuncture has been widely accepted by patients who experience musculoskeletal pain compared with other nonsurgical modalities and it is a minimal risk intervention. Case: A 56-year-old woman was diagnosed with shoulder CT. Physical examination revealed limited range of motion (ROM) in abduction (78.6°) and lateral rotation (82.5°) of the right shoulder joint with a pain scale using numeric rating scale (NRS) assessment score of 5 (with diclofenac sodium 2 × 50 mg since 1 day ago). She received single session of acupuncture with balance method and distal point with a total of 10 needles, then all needles were retained for 45 minutes and the therapy was done only unilaterally. Then follow-up was made 2 days later. Results: After the session ended, NRS assessment score reduced from 5 to 2, ROM in abduction and lateral rotation of the right shoulder was improved, respectively, to 179.2° and 150.4°. In follow-up 2 days after, ROM in abduction and lateral rotation became 168.9° and 147.8°, respectively, and NRS was still 2. Conclusions: Acupuncture with the use of the balance method and distal point effectively relieved the pain and improved ROM of CT even after 2 days. © Copyright 2021, Mary Ann Liebert, Inc., publishers 2021. |

Background: Overactive bladder (OAB) is defined as urgency (a sudden compelling desire to pass urine with or without urge incontinence) usually associated with frequency and nocturia. OAB is a chronic condition that affects quality of life (QoL) significantly in patients. Acupuncture can help in the treatment of OAB for patients who cannot take certain medications. Case: A 32-year-old a female patient was diagnosed with OAB. She came to the department of medical acupuncture with a chief complaint of frequent urination for 15 years. Urinalysis test results were normal. Before acupuncture, a bladder ultrasound (US) showed a postvoid residual volume (PVR) of 53 mL, and a uroflowmetry test showed a maximum flow rate of 20.6 mL/s, with an average flow rate of 12.1 mL/s and a voided volume of 71 mL. Her OAB Symptom Score (OABSS) was 13 and the King's Health Questionnaire result was (KHQ) was 87. She was treated with electroacupuncture (EA). Results: After 12 EA sessions, 3 times per week, this patient's bladder US showed a PVR of 3 mL; a uroflowmetry test showed a maximum flow rate of 30.5 mL/s, with an average flow rate of 15.3 mL/s and a voided volume of 120 mL. Her OABSS score was 7. Her KHQ score was 0. Conclusions: OAB can be treated with EA to improve QoL, as seen by this patient's decreasing OABSS and KHQ scores, reduced PVR, and increase the voided volume. © Copyright 2021, Mary Ann Liebert, Inc., publishers 2021. |

Background The number of new leprosy cases is declining globally, but the disability caused by leprosy remains an important disease burden. The chance of disability is increased by delayed case detection. This review focusses on the individual and community determinants of delayed leprosy case detection. Methods This study was conducted according to the PRISMA guidelines (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analysis). The study protocol is registered in PROS-PERO (code: CRD42020189274). To identify determinants of delayed detection, data was collected from five electronic databases: Embase.com, Medline All Ovid, Web of Science, Cochrane CENTRAL, and the WHO Global Health Library. Results We included 27 papers from 4315 records assessed. They originated in twelve countries, had been published between January 1, 2000, and January 31, 2021, and described the factors related to delayed leprosy case detection, the duration of the delayed case, and the percentage of Grade 2 Disability (G2D). The median delay in detection ranged from 12 to 36 months, the mean delay ranged from 11.5 to 64.1 months, and the percentage of G2D ranged from 5.6 to 43.2%. Health-service-seeking behavior was the most common factor associated with delayed detection. The most common individual factors were older age, being male, having a lower disease-symptom perception, having multibacillary leprosy, and lack of knowledge. The most common socioeconomic factors were living in a rural area, perform-ing agricultural labor, and being unemployed. Stigma was the most common social and community factor. Conclusions Delayed leprosy case detection is clearly correlated with increased disability and should therefore be a priority of leprosy programs. Interventions should focus on determinants of delayed case detection such as health-service-seeking behavior, and should consider rele-vant individual, socioeconomic, and community factors, including stigmatization. Further study is required of the health service-related factors contributing to delay. : © 2021 Dharmawan et al. |

AU: Pleaseconfirmthatallheadinglevelsarerepresentedcorrectly: We describe an unusual case of type 2 leprosy reaction (T2R) with septic shock–like features induced by helminth infection in a 31-year-old Moluccan male patient with a history of completed treatment of WHO multidrug therapy (MAU: PleasenotethatMDThasbeendefinedasmultidrugt DT)–multibacillary (MB) regimen 2 years before admission. During the course of illness, the patient had numerous complications, including septic shock, anemia, and disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC). Nevertheless, antibiotic therapies failed to give significant results, and the source of infection could not be identified. Helminth infection was subsequently revealed by endoscopic examination followed by parasitological culture. Resolution of symptoms and normal level of organ function–specific markers were resolved within 3 days following anthelmintic treatment. This report demonstrated the challenge in the diagnosis and treatment of severe T2R. Given that helminth infections may trigger severe T2R that mimics septic shock, health professionals need to be aware of this clinical presentation, especially in endemic regions of both diseases. © 2021 Fongwen et al. |
