Awareness About Keratoconus and Its Relation With Eye Rubbing: A Cross‐Sectional Study in Riyadh
Health Science Reports, Volume 9, Issue 4, April 2026.ABSTRACT Background Keratoconus is a progressive eye disease affecting the cornea, the clear dome‐ shaped structure at the front of the eye. In keratoconus, the cornea thins and bulges outward into a cone shape, leading to loss of visual acuity. The aetiology of keratoconus remains unclear, but it involves both genetic and environmental factors.

Unraveling Chronic Pain: From Mechanisms and Risks to Diagnosis and Treatment
MedComm, Volume 7, Issue 4, April 2026.Chronic pain arises through distinct molecular pathways categorized into nociceptive, neuropathic, and nociplastic types. Nociceptive pain begins with TRP channel activation in peripheral nociceptors, signaling via Aδ‐ and C‐fibers through the spinal dorsal horn and spinothalamic tracts to the brain, regulated by descending inhibition and involving ...
