The Role of Rituals in Open-Label Placebo Effects
Placebos have been shown to generate beneficial effects on mental health and well-being even when they are administered openly, without deception. However, research on open-label placebos (OLPs) is limited and there is still some uncertainty regarding how OLP effects can be created consistently.

Diffusion‐Weighted Imaging for the Evaluation of the Sacroiliac Joint in Pediatric Patients
Background Maturational signal in the sacroiliac joint (SIJ) of skeletally immature youth is often misinterpreted as inflammation. Diagnostic tools that improve specificity are greatly needed. Apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) values from diffusion‐weighted imaging (DWI), when used with standard imaging, may enhance diagnostic accuracy.

Intersection Between Local Anesthetics and Cancer Biology: What Now? Where Are We Going?
Local anesthetics (LAs), widely used in anesthesia, may also play a role in cancer treatment by inhibiting tumor growth, reducing metastasis, and enhancing immune responses. They modulate key pathways like AKT/mTOR and RAS/ERK while affecting angiogenesis and tumor innervation and the immune response.
