Association between gallstone disease and carotid intima-media thickness: a prospective observational cross-sectional study in a tertiary care center.

Background And Objectives: Gallstone disease (GD) is a prevalent health issue globally, particularly in developed nations, and has notable associations with cardiovascular disease (CVD). This prospective observational cross-sectional study aimed to investigate the association between gallstone disease and carotid intima-media thickness (CIMT), a marker of carotid atherosclerosis, in a tertiary care setting.

Method: Conducted at a tertiary care center, the study included 96 participants (48 with gallstone disease and 48 age and sex-matched controls).

Intracranial osteochondroma arising from the posterior clinoid process: a rare case report with diagnostic challenges and comprehensive literature review.

Introduction And Importance: Intracranial osteochondroma is rare, presenting diagnostic challenges due to overlapping imaging findings with other pathologies. This case report highlights the significance of considering osteochondroma in calcified tumour differentials near bone.

Case Presentation: A 34-year-old man with vision deterioration and headaches had an MRI revealing a suprasellar lesion.

Spondylolysis among Patients Without Low Back Pain in a Diagnostic Centre: A Descriptive Cross-sectional Study.

Introduction: Spondylolysis can either be asymptomatic or can cause significant low back pain. It is sometimes associated with the translation of one vertebra over another and is termed spondylolisthesis. The aim of the study was to find out the prevalence of spondylolysis among patients without low back pain in a diagnostic centre.

Assessment of Direct Signs of Localization of Central Sulcus in Normal Axial Computed Tomography Scan of Brain.

Background: Central sulcus is relatively constant in anatomy and provides an important landmark in lesion localization in high convexity-parasagittal region. The purpose of this study was to evaluate various direct signs of localization of central sulcus in normal axial computed tomography scan of brain.

Methods: This cross-sectional descriptive study was conducted in 377 patients with normal findings in computed tomography scan of brain.

Acute appendicitis secondary to hypertriglyceridemia-induced acute pancreatitis: A case report.

Hypertriglyceridemia led acute pancreatitis secreted exudative fluid tacked to the right iliac fossa may cause irritation of retroperitoneum leading to acute periappendicular inflammation and acute appendicitis.

Curative intent treatment of late presented extragastrointestinal stromal tumor: two identical case reports with literature review.

Gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GISTs) occurring outside the gastrointestinal tract are known as extragastrointestinal stromal tumors (EGIST). They share some common histopathologic and molecular characteristics. This report describes two female patients who were suspected of having a mesenteric GIST, but opted for surveillance rather than definitive treatment.

A neglected case of chronic abdominal pain due to Lapsi seeds: A unique foreign body at unusual location.

Introduction: Foreign body ingestion is less common in healthy adult population. Obstructive symptom caused by foreign body at unusual site of gastrointestinal (GI) tract is even rarer.
