Clinical outcomes and complications of retained biliary stents during the COVID-19 pandemic: a case series.

Biliary stents are widely used following endoscopic management of choledocholithiasis. Removal is recommended within 3-6 months to prevent complications. This study analyzed cases of retained biliary stents managed at our institution.

Donors' Outcome After Living Donor Liver Transplantation in a University Teaching Hospital: A Case Series.

Background Liver transplantation is the standard treatment for end-stage liver disease. Living donor liver transplantation is more commonly performed in Asian countries as compared to the Western due to the lack of organ donation. Donor safety is the key to sustaining a liver transplant program.

Disseminated appendicular lymphoma presenting as acute appendicitis: a case report.

Introduction And Importance: Acute appendicitis is a common surgical emergency marked by appendix inflammation, presenting as acute abdominal pain and typically treated with appendectomy. The authors report a rare case of disseminated appendicular lymphoma presenting as acute appendicitis. Acute appendicitis is a common surgical emergency.

Adenosquamous Carcinoma of Gallbladder with Unusual Prognosis: A Case Report.

Unlabelled: The adenosquamous carcinoma of the gallbladder is a rare variant accounting for only 1-4% of all primary gallbladder carcinoma. Regardless of the histological types, all gallbladder carcinomas have silent and rapid progression resulting in delayed diagnosis and poor prognosis. Even with medical and/or surgical interventions, the median survival of patients with adenosquamous carcinoma, one of the histological variants, is less than a year.

Performance evaluation and genetic parameters estimation of multi-companies maize hybrids in Lamahi Dang, Nepal.

Selection, a basic and crucial step of breeding, can be made efficient through the estimates of genetic parameters. Ten multi-company's maize hybrids and two Nepalese maize hybrids were used as standard checks and evaluated in a randomized complete block design with three replications. Analysis of variance for different characters revealed significant differences for most of the characters among the genotypes used.

Comparative Study of Perioperative Outcomes Between Modified Blumgart Duct to Mucosa and Dunking Pancreaticojejunostomy.

Background: Pancreaticojejunostomy (PJ) is the ''Achilles heel" of pancreaticoduodenectomy (PD) which affects perioperative as well as oncological outcomes. However, there is a lack of information about the superiority of the type of anastomosis in terms of overall morbidity and postoperative pancreatic fistula (POPF) after PD. Here, we compare the outcomes of modified Blumgart PJ with the dunking technique of PJ.

Retrorectal schwannoma in a middle-aged female: A case report.

Introduction And Importance: Primary sacral and presacral lesions are uncommon and pose a significant diagnostic dilemma. Retrorectal schwannoma is a benign primary presacral lesion that is extremely rare and presents with non-specific symptoms.

Case Presentation: A 42-years-old, female patient was admitted for lower-back pain for seven days.

Importance of world high altitude Jumli Marshi rice with cultivation practices.

Geographically, Jumla is a Himalayan mountainous region located in the Karnali Province of Nepal. It has a beautiful landscape with abundant plant and animal species and is rich in biodiversity. Jumli Marshi has been cultivated since prehistoric times.

Presacral dermoid cyst in a young female patient: A case report.

Presacral dermoid cysts are rare, benign tumors of developmental origin that primarily affect women. Surgical resection is the mainstay of treatment for these cysts, even if asymptomatic, with the laparoscopic approach being safer and more efficient.

Incidental finding of jejunal diverticula during laparotomy for suspected adhesive small bowel obstruction: A case report.

Introduction And Importance: Jejunal diverticula are usually asymptomatic and are discovered incidentally. While rare, their complications may be life-threatening. They should be considered as differential diagnoses in undiagnosed complaints of chronic abdominal pain, malabsorption, anemia, gastrointestinal bleed and intestinal obstruction.

Cecal gastrointestinal stromal tumor causing ileocolic intussusception in an adult: A rare case report.

Introduction And Importance: Cecal gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GIST) constitute a rarer subtype of all GISTs. Rarely, it can present with ileocolic intussusception in adults making it a challenging diagnosis due to non-specific clinical features.

Case Presentation: A 30-year previously healthy woman presented with lower abdominal pain and a distended abdomen who was subsequently diagnosed with ileocolic intussusception on a CT scan.

Common hepatic artery pseudoaneurysm: A rare complication following total gastrectomy: A case report.

Introduction And Importance: Common Hepatic Artery (CHA) Pseudoaneurysm is a rare entity, attributed to infections, trauma, and upper abdominal surgery. Most cases occur after biliary and pancreatic surgery. CHA pseudoaneurysm after total gastrectomy is uncommon and can be devastating.

Performance evaluation of maize hybrids in inner-plains of Nepal.

Hybridization plays a vital role in increasing the production and productivity of maize. Evaluating maize hybrids in a specific environment is a key task for the hybrid maize program. The objective of this study was to identify a promising maize hybrid for winter planting in inner terai regions.

Congenital Partial Intercostal Liver Herniation.

Congenital intercostal liver herniation is a rare entity. The exact etiology of congenital intercostal liver herniation is unknown. Left sided intercostal herniation is even rarer.

Spad value varies with age and leaf of maize plant and its relationship with grain yield.

Objectives: A field experiment was conducted to evaluate Soil Plant Analysis Development (SPAD) value in different age and leaf of maize hybrid and correlating with grain yield. Ten maize hybrids were replicated thricely under Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD) during winter of 2018. SPAD value was measured by SPAD 502 plus meter.

Assessment of productivity and profitabilty of wheat using Nutrient Expert®-Wheat model in Jhapa district of Nepal.

Wheat is the third most important cereal crop in Nepal after rice and maize both in area and production, but its productivity of 2.3 tonne ha is very less compared to other developed countries (6 tonne ha for Switzerland and China) in the world. The main cause of low wheat yield in Nepal is the improper and inadequate use of fertilizer devoid of site specific nutrient management practices.

Dietary intake patterns and nutritional status of women of reproductive age in Nepal: findings from a health survey.

Background: Improper dietary intake pattern in women of reproductive age in Nepal has resulted in the deficiency of essential nutrients. Adequate nutritional status and proper dietary intake pattern of women improves maternal and child health. The objective of this study was to assess the nutritional status and dietary intake pattern among the women and associated factors.

Gastric cancer perforation: experience from a tertiary care hospital.

Introduction: Gastric cancer perforation can occurs in advanced stage of the disease and is often associated with a high morbidity and mortality. Peritonitis due to perforation needs emergency laparotomy and different surgical procedures can be performed for definitive treatment. Surgical procedures largely depend on the stage of the disease and general condition of the patient.
