Migraine and cognitive dysfunction: a narrative review by Catarina Fernandes, Austeja Dapkute, Ellie Watson, Irakli Kazaishvili, Piotr Chądzyński, Sara Varanda, Stefano Di Antonio, Veronica Munday, Antoinette MaassenVanDenBrink, Christian Lampl, On behalf of the European Headache Federation School of Advanced Studies (EHF-SAS)

“…There is limited consensus as to whether cognitive impairment is a characteristic specific to migraine, whether it is driven by a combination of factors including co-morbidities such as anxiety, depression, or vascular dysfunction, treatment, or whether it is a more general characteristic of pain disorders. Overall, increasing numbers of studies support cognitive impairment in migraine patients. …”

Effectiveness of Jingjin Therapy for Non-Specific Chronic Neck Pain with Extension Dysfunction: A Randomised Controlled Trial by Gong Z, Gao Y, Liu W, Li W, Wu X, Li J

“…A repeated-measures linear mixed-effects model was used to assess between-group differences in outcome indices, with group allocation and treatment time points treated as fixed effects and participants as random effects.Results: The change in the angle of active neck extension from baseline to the sixth treatment session was significant for Jingjin therapy (mean: 29.75° to 51.97°) and general manual therapy (mean: 28.18° to 52.49°). Further, the between-group difference was minimal (mean − 0.26°, 95% confidence interval, − 2.62°, 2.09°) and not statistically significant (P = 0.828).Conclusion: Jingjin therapy for 9 days significantly improved neck extension function in patients with NCNP, with no significant difference compared to general manual therapy.Clinical Trial Registry Id: ChiCTR2300068892.Plain Language Summary: This study evaluated the efficacy of Jingjin therapy, a massage technique employed for the treatment of non-specific chronic neck pain, in comparison with conventional manual therapy in adult populations. …”

Unknown issues of digitalizing the tax domain by Dimitrijević Marina

“…By glorifying the positive points of digitalizing the tax domain and by expecting taxpayers to accept the projected digital-technological novelties in the tax sphere and to model the existing ways of fulfilling tax obligations, the need for a more comprehensive examination of the reverse side of tax digital novelties, the perception of unknown issues and a more subtle analysis of the uncertainty of their impact on our contemporary tax society and accepted democratic principles and social values, have generally been marginalized. …”
