Dear colleagues,
In the current issue, the editorial by Zafeirati et al. describes the complex medical condition of adenomyosis, data related to its pathogenesis, clinical picture and diagnosis, and focuses on its impact on fertility. Moreover, this issue includes one original research article. The original research article by Kaliatzis et al. assesses the knowledge and practice of nurses regarding care of patients with spinal cord injury. Three review articles are also featured in the present issue. The first review, by Demertzis et al. offers valuable insights into the neuropsychiatric phenotypes of diseases causing parkinsonian syndromes, highlighting the need for a comprehensive delineation of neuropsychiatric symptoms as a core aspect of the phenotypes of parkinsonian syndromes and as a therapeutic challenge. The review by Pichlinski et al. explores how the COVID-19 pandemic affected pregnant women’s acceptance of routine maternal vaccines and discusses further about the factors influencing decision making. The review by Mpounia et al. provides the current knowledge concerning the treatment management of lupus nephritis, presenting data from drugs either approved or under investigation.
Lastly, this issue includes the case report by Sotiropoulos et al. which presents an unusual case of a patient who developed euglycemic diabetic ketoacidosis (euDKA) in the context of post-ERCP cholangitis, bacteremia, and liver abscess, while receiving treatment with an SGLT-2 inhibitor.
