Clinico-pathological presentation of breast carcinoma and its correlation with β hCG.

Background: The pathophysiological role of HCG is currently speculative and seems to be paradoxes as certain studies advice it has anti-cancer properties while few others found it to be pro-cancer agent. In this study we have evaluated the status of beta hCG receptors in patients with breast carcinoma and its association with various clinic-pathological factors.

Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted on total of 57 patients who were enrolled in the study, all tests including metastatic work up were done.

Right sided transmesentric hernia: A rare cause of acute abdomen in adults.

Introduction: Transmesenteric mesocolic hernias are a rare cause of acute abdomen in adults with few reported cases in published literature.

Presentation Of Case: We report a rare case of a 30-year-old male with right-sided transmesenteric hernia of ileum due to a congenital mesocolic defect resulting in acute abdomen, presenting as acute abdomen. The hernia was reduced, small bowel inspected for gangrene and mesenteric hernia repaired, following which the patient made a good recovery and was discharged 5 days later.
