Risk of, and risk factors for, vasculopathy associated with acute herpes zoster

Barbara P. Yawn et al.

Summary: This article reviews the known risk of vasculopathy (stroke, myocardial infarction, and transient ischemic attack) after herpes zoster (HZ) and the impact of antiviral treatment and vaccination against HZ on the risk. The results show a strong association between HZ and stroke, and further studies are needed to determine the influence of antiviral treatment or HZ vaccination on the risk of HZ-associated vasculopathy.

Epidemiology of Herpes Zoster in Adults in Mexico: A Retrospective Database Analysis

Adriana Guzman-Holst et al.

Summary: This study analyzed national surveillance data to examine the burden of herpes zoster (HZ) and its complications in Mexico. Over the past 10 years, there have been over 50,000 HZ cases and 4,000 hospitalizations reported. 263 deaths were also recorded, with the majority occurring in individuals aged 65 years or older. Given the expected increase in the proportion of older people in the Mexican population, the incidence of HZ is likely to rise, highlighting the importance of vaccination to protect the elderly population against this serious disease.

Herpes zoster: A Review of Clinical Manifestations and Management

Anant Patil et al.

Summary: Varicella-zoster virus (VZV) is responsible for chickenpox/varicella and shingles/herpes zoster (HZ). HZ is more common in older adults and individuals with certain risk factors. The disease has various clinical manifestations and can lead to complications such as postherpetic neuralgia. Early intervention with antiviral medication is crucial. Vaccines are available for prevention, including one suitable for immunocompromised patients.

Herpes zoster-prevention, diagnosis, and treatment

Ricardo Niklas Werner et al.

Summary: Herpes zoster (HZ) is a common skin disease caused by the reactivation of latent infection with varicella zoster virus (VZV). Germany recommends the VZV subunit zoster vaccine for adults aged 60+ and immunocompromised individuals aged 50+. Diagnosis is primarily clinical, with laboratory investigations used to confirm uncertain cases. Early antiviral treatment and adequate pain management are important for reducing complications and improving patient quality of life.

Frequency-segmented power amplification using multi-band radio frequency amplifiers to produce a high-voltage pulse

Kazuaki Togawa et al.

Summary: This study proposes a method of frequency-segmented power amplification using multiband RF amplifiers to generate stable and arbitrary high-voltage pulses. By amplifying each segmented frequency and combining them with RF power combiners, the desired high-voltage pulse can be obtained. A prototype pulse amplifier was designed and fabricated, which successfully generated stable and precise rectangular pulses.

Effective treatment of high-voltage pulsed radiofrequency combined with oxygen-ozone injection in acute zoster neuralgia

Li-Mei Li et al.

Summary: This retrospective study evaluated the efficacy and safety of the combination of high-voltage pulsed radiofrequency (PRF) and oxygen-ozone (O-2-O-3) injection in patients with acute zoster neuralgia (AZN). The results showed that the combination therapy group had significant improvements in pain intensity, sleep quality, and medication dosage, and a lower incidence of postherpetic neuralgia (PHN).

A Dual-Mode Multifunctional Pulsed Radio-Frequency Stimulator for Trigeminal Neuralgia Relief and its Animal Model

Kun-Ying Yeh et al.

Summary: This study proposed a programmable pulsed radio-frequency (PRF) stimulator for trigeminal neuralgia relief and demonstrated its effectiveness through animal studies. The results revealed that PRF stimulation is more effective in relieving trigeminal neuralgia compared to medication, with a lasting period of at least 14 days. Neuronal recording showed attenuation of neuron activities without severe damage, and pathology revealed no lesions in the stimulated area.
