Article Synopsis
- - A 13-year-old boy presenting with abdominal pain and coffee-ground vomiting was diagnosed with gastric necrosis after showing signs of peritonitis and septic shock, leading to an emergency laparotomy.
- - The surgery revealed gastric necrosis and ischemic changes in the esophagus and duodenum, resulting in a total gastrectomy and Roux-en-Y esophagojejunostomy.
- - Post-surgery, the boy tested positive for coronavirus after initially testing negative, and although he was discharged in good condition, he subsequently developed severe anastomotic strictures during follow-up.
Endoscopic electrocautery incisional therapy (EIT) is one of the methods for the treatment of refractory esophageal stricture among adult cases. There are few reports among children. Herein we report the successful use of EIT for a 13-year-old boy with an anastomotic stricture who was visited in our hospital due to poor feeding and inability to feed.

Article Synopsis
- This study analyzed 3016 women seeking perinatal care, focusing on fetuses with soft markers that could link to chromosomal and congenital abnormalities, including conditions like thickened nuchal fold and mild pyelectasis.
- Out of the fetuses with soft markers, 285 cases (9.4%) were identified, yet most showed normal outcomes at birth—with specific instances of abortion and congenital issues notably low.
- The majority (70.3%) of cases were male, and while some cases resulted in structural abnormalities, overall, no significant aneuploidy was detected through tests like amniocentesis, indicating a healthier trend among fetuses with soft markers.
Background: Type 2 diabetes has a high spread and growing process. Using appropriate food diets is among therapeutic approaches has been applied for diabetic patients. Soya utilization has shown effective results in controlling metabolic abnormalities of these patients.

Method: This cross-sectional study was conducted on all children with idiopathic nephrotic syndrome registered to the pediatric nephrology department at the main referral children's hospital in Southwestern Iran. Inclusion criteria included age (males <12 years; females <10 years), >6 months of use, and the minimum prednisolone cumulative dose of 152mg/kg.
We report an unusual case of small bowel obstruction caused by a large enterolith released from small bowel diverticulitis in a 81-year-old patient with occult massive Diffuse Jejuno-Ileal Diverticulosis (DJID). DJID is a rare condition whose symptoms are usually absent or non-specific. In most cases, the diagnosis of DJID is incidentally made or consecutive to secondary complications comprising obstruction, haemorrhage, diverticulitis and perforation.

Objectives: - The aim of this study was to evaluate Barr, Blethyn, and Leech score in evaluation of fecal load in plain radiograph.
Background: Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is a chronic liver disorder related to inflammation. Coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10) is a natural compound that has recently been considered as an anti-inflammatory factor. In the current study we aimed to evaluate the effects of CoQ10 supplementation on liver enzymes, inflammation status, and adipokines in patients with NAFLD.

Methods: AS-MRI was performed in 38 patients before receiving chemotherapy for metastatic HRPCa, in addition to PSA, computed tomography of the thorax, abdomen, and pelvis [CT-TAP]; and Tc-99m bone scintigraphy.
