- * A 17-year-old boy presented to the emergency room after a bicycle fall, showing symptoms like epigastric swelling and hematemesis, leading to a diagnosis of third-part duodenal rupture.
- * The patient underwent surgery to repair the rupture and had a smooth recovery, emphasizing the importance of early diagnosis to minimize complications.*

Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to evaluate how surgery for primary hyperparathyroidism affects bone mineral density (BMD) in postmenopausal women, and to identify preoperative factors that might predict improvements in bone density.
- A total of 108 women participated in the study, with significant increases in BMD observed post-surgery, especially in the lumbar spine compared to the femoral neck.
- The findings suggest that patients with lower bone density before surgery had a higher chance of experiencing an increase in BMD afterward, and those who improved also showed lower preoperative levels of parathyroid hormone.
