Management of cervical vertebral body erosion due to VA abnormality is often complicated and must be tailored to each patient's individual clinical presentation and symptoms. The patient in this case was managed with anticoagulant medication, close monitoring, and acupuncture treatment, which resulted in a reduction in pain intensity. Vertebral artery abnormality and subsequent erosion of the vertebral body is a rare occurrence and can mimic symptoms of musculoskeletal neck pain and cervical radiculopathy. It is important to recognize features of VA abnormalities on magnetic resonance imaging.

The purpose of this narrative review is to determine whether published meta-analyses support the use of fiber supplementation in the treatment of constipation, weight loss, and dietary support for gastrointestinal disorders such as irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) and inflammatory bowel disease. A PubMed search from January 1, 1980, to July 31, 2019, was conducted with the following search strategy (fiber OR fibre) AND (meta-analysis OR systematic review) AND (constipation OR body weight OR obesity OR irritable bowel syndrome OR inflammatory bowel disease). #link# Meta-analyses that provided quantitative statistical analysis with a measured effect size were retrieved and accepted into this review. The following was extracted and entered into an Excel spreadsheet number of publications included in the meta-analysis, number of total participants, fiber type and daily dose, pooled treatment effects for clinical endpoints, or summary relative risks. Eighteen meta-analyses support dietary fiber supplementation for patients with constipation, weight loss, and IBS, but the significant heterogeneity and publication bias undermine the support for using dietary fiber supplementation in these conditions. This narrative review of meta-analyses finds some benefits for recommending fiber supplementation to patients with constipation, obesity, and IBS, but significant heterogeneity and publication bias undermine this support.

The current study aimed to determine the effect of massage with and without aromatic oil on the delirium of patients hospitalized in the cardiac intensive care unit. This study was a single-blind, randomized, controlled trial. Using a convenience method, 150 patients were selected and assigned into 3 groups control, massage with aroma, and massage without aroma using the minimization method. Only routine care was provided for the control group. Brown massage with 4% rose oil in the base of sweet almond oil was given to the massage group with aroma 1 day after the surgery. The same steps and massage techniques with sweet almond oil were performed for the massage group without aroma. The incidence and severity of delirium were evaluated at the end of each day using the Neelon and Champagne Confusion Scale. Delirium scores were not significantly different among the 3 groups on the first, second, and third days ( > .05). Also, the incidence of delirium significantly decreased in all 3 groups from day 1 to day 3. The results of this study could not prove the beneficial effects of massage with and without aroma on delirium incidence. Further studies are suggested to determine the best intervention to reduce delirium in patients undergoing coronary artery surgery. The results of this study could not prove the beneficial effects of massage with
