There is limited evidence about the chronic pelvic pain syndrome (CPPS) treatment by shockwave therapy, and the aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of extracorporeal shockwave therapy on CPPS due to non bacterial prostatitis in a long-term period. ⋯ Although, ESWT therapy as a safe and effective therapy in CPPS in short-term follow-up has been established, its long-term efficacy was not supported by this study.

Diaper dermatitis is one of the most common skin disorders of infancy and childhood. The present study aimed to compare the effects of Bentonite and Calendula on the improvement of diaper dermatitis in infants. ⋯ Bentonite was effective on the improvement of diaper dermatitis, and also had faster effects compared with Calendula.

Dysmenorrhea has negative effects on women's life. Due to side-effects of chemical drugs, there is growing trend toward herbal medicine. The aim of this study was to assess the effect of Dill compared to mefenamic acid on primary dysmenorrhea. ⋯ Dill was as effective as mefenamic acid in reducing the pain severity in primary dysmenorrhea. Further studies regarding side-effects of Dill and its interactivity are recommended.

Despite increasing acceptance of endovascular coiling for treating anterior communicating artery (ACoA) aneurysms, anterior circulation cerebral infarction (ACI) after embolization remains a limitation. With higher incidence, higher morbidity and higher mortality, it is one of the main factors influencing the ACoA aneurysms prognosis. Determining the risk factors leading to ACI after embolization will have clinical significance. Through retrospective case analysis, this study investigated the risk factors related to ACI after embolization in order to provide information to serve the clinical practice. ⋯ Modified Fisher grade is an independent risk factor for ACI after embolization.

The beneficial effect of using nonacetylated salicylates such as salsalate on decreasing the speed of diabetes progression is a controversial issue. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of salsalate on metabolic-syndrome-associated parameters as well as the endothelial function of diabetic and impaired glucose tolerance patients. ⋯ The study showed that salsalate decreased FBS levels of patients. It may also improve endothelial function as FMD increased significantly in the intervention group.
