Chapter 1 outlines the mechanisms underlying the onset of sarcopenic obesity, the diagnostic criteria, and emerging therapies. Chapter 2 discusses myofascial pain syndrome (MPS) and its management, focusing on it being personalized, evidence-based, and multidisciplinary. Chapter 3 expands on the issue of child abuse (CA), including its diagnosis, detections, and treatment of such. Chapter 4 aims to present the best available scientific evidence regarding patient discharge and the key factors that contribute to clinical effectiveness and safety of service delivery, thereby improving patient-centred care. Chapter 5 synthesizes the current literature linking infectious agents to both cerebral and peripheral Aβ formation. Chapter 6 discusses new frontiers defining the future of neuroscience with special focus on integrative and translational approaches. Finally, chapter 7 explores the role of acupuncture on myofascial pain syndrome (MPS).
