    Abstract Objective: Acute low back pain is a highly prevalent condition that poses significant challenges to healthcare systems worldwide. In this manuscript, we present the most current, evidence-based guidelines from the World Federation of Neurosurgical Societies (WFNS) Spine Committee on the epidemiology, etiology, and prevention of acute low back pain (LBP) lasting ≤ 4 weeks.
    Methods: We performed a literature review 2012-2022 using the PubMed, Medline, and CENTRAL databases with the keywords "acute low back pain", "acute back pain", "low back pain", "epidemiology", "etiology", "costs", "risk factor", "cultural", "developed", "developing" and "prevention". Systematic screening criteria were applied, resulting in 13 final articles on epidemiology and etiology of LBP, 2 manuscripts on costs, 5 articles on risk factors, and 23 articles on prevention strategies for acute LBP. These were presented at two separate international meetings, where members of the WFNS Spine Committee voted on five final consensus statements presented here.
    Results: and Conclusions: There is a high incidence and prevalence of acute LBP, particularly in high-income countries, which is felt to be at least partially due to demographic shifts with an aging population and lifestyle changes including higher rates of obesity and physical inactivity. Acute LBP has a significant impact on quality of life and ability to work, resulting in high direct and indirect costs worldwide. Early diagnosis and appropriate management of acute LBP is recommended to prevent this pain from turning into chronic LBP. The WFNS Spine Committee's recommendations respresent the latest guidelies to help improve patient care for acute LBP worldwide.

    Abstract Objective: This review aims to formulate the most current evidence-based recommendations on the epidemiology, prevention, and treatment of recurrent lumbar disc herniation (LDH).
    Methods: We performed a systematic literature search in PubMed, Medline, and Google Scholar databases from 2012 to 2022 using the keywords "lumbar disc recurrence." Screening criteria resulted in 57 papers, which were summarized and presented at two international consensus meetings of the World Federation of Neurosurgical Societies (WFNS) Spine Committee. The 57 papers covered the following topics: (1) Definition and incidence of recurrence after lumbar disc surgery; (2) Prediction of recurrence before primary surgery; (3) Prevention of recurrence by surgical measures; (4) Prevention of recurrence by postoperative measures; (5) Treatment options for recurrent disc herniation; (6) The outcomes of recurrent disc herniation surgery. We utilized the Delphi method and voted on eight final consensus statements.
    Results and conclusion: Recurrence after disc herniation surgery may be considered a surgical complication, its incidence is approximately 5% and is different from overall re-operation incidence. There are multiple risk factors predicting LDH recurrence, including smoking, younger age, male gender, obesity, diabetes, disc degeneration, and presence of lumbosacral transitional vertebrae. The level of lumbar discectomy surgery and the amount of disc material removed do not correlate with recurrence rate. Minimally invasive discectomies may have higher recurrence rates, especially during the surgeon's learning period. However, the experience of the surgeon is not related to recurrence. High-quality studies are needed to determine if activity restriction, weight loss, smoking cessation, and muscle-strengthening exercises after primary surgery can help prevent recurrence of LDH.The best treatment option for recurrent disc herniation is still being discussed. While complications of minimally invasive techniques may be lower than open discectomy, outcomes are similar. Fusion should only be considered when spinal instability and/or spinal deformity are present. Clinical outcomes and patient satisfaction after recurrent disc herniation surgery are inferior to those after initial discectomy.

    Abstract Aim: To explore perceived expressed emotion in the south Asian context for individuals with a first episode of psychosis (FEP).
    Method: Semi-structured interviews were conducted with 16 service users experiencing a FEP to understand their experience of expressed emotion (EE) from their caregivers. Interviews were analysed using inductive thematic analysis.
    Results: Four main categories were identified: connection and support, understanding and awareness, boundaries and independence and context and influence. Factors influencing perceived expressed emotion such as acceptance, acculturation, warmth and expressions of love, communication and family values were identified. Findings highlight south Asian's experiences of being cared for, and their perception of EE, including warmth and connection as a strength and resource.
    Conclusion: The findings shed light on culturally specific EE within the context of FEP that can be considered when working with south Asian communities within early intervention services. Findings highlight the impact of navigating and negotiating bicultural identities and generational differences in EE in the British south Asian context.

    Abstract Objectives: During the COVID-19 pandemic, the risk of childhood infectious diseases was increased. Post-COVID-19 escalation of chickenpox cases, becoming an emerging public health concern. Thus, the study was designed to compare chickenpox prevalence and Varicella zoster virus (VZV) genotypes circulating before, during, and post-COVID-19 in Pakistan.
    Methods: A total of 267 lesion specimens collected from tertiary care hospitals, and chickenpox outbreaks from Pakistan were analysed by a two-amplicon approach with phylogenetic analysis.
    Results: Among suspected cases, overall 178/267 were VZV positive. Majority (84.2 %; 150/178) cases were of post-COVID-19 pandemic time. Small outbreaks occurred soon after COVID-19 in Rawalpindi and Islamabad (Pakistan), 40 positive cases out of 178 cases were outbreak cases. There was first time detection of the M4 genotype, which was significantly associated with disease severity (p = 0.0006) and post-COVID-19 chickenpox outbreaks in 2021 (77.9 %; 46/59; p < 0.00001). However, in pre-COVID-19 only M2 genotype was detected. The M2 prevalence varied from 2019 (100 %; 19/19) to 2022 (3.2 %; 3/91). However, the most prevalent strain of 2022 belonged to the M1 genotype (64.8 %; 59/91).
    Conclusion: A significant rise in chickenpox cases detected soon after COVID-19 in Pakistan, and oscillation of different VZV genotypes with first time detection of M4 genotype is an alarming situation. This demands further detailed genotypic studies on transmission dynamics of a rare M4 with other genotypes to protect the local population and restrict spread in other regions.
