Effects of Warm-Ups with Weighted Vests and Resistance Bands on Physical Fitness and Combat Ability of Kumite Karate Athletes.

The purpose of this study was to investigate whether a dynamic warm-up either with weighted vests (WVs) or with resistance bands (RBs) may enhance the physical fitness and combat ability of kumite karate athletes. Nine male athletes (age range from 16 to 30 years), participated in this study. Athletes followed three different warm-up programs in a randomized order: (a) with their body mass only (C), (b) with a WV of 10% load of their body mass and (c) with a wearable RB of 10% tension of their body mass.

Triple Tube Drainage for the Treatment of Complex Duodenal Injury: A Case Report and Literature Update.

Duodenal trauma resulting in perforation is rare and management can be challenging due to injuries in other organs and vascular structures. Primary repair is the preferred option and is technically feasible even in cases with large defects. In more complex injuries with pancreaticobiliary tract involvement, damage control techniques and staged procedures may be required.

Primary Large Mucosa-Associated Lymphoid Tissue (MALT) Lymphoma of the Gallbladder.

Primary lymphoma of the gallbladder (GB) is a rare condition, and very few cases have been reported so far. Diagnosis is usually made after surgery of suspicious GB mass, which is often difficult to differentiate from GB carcinoma. The GB wall does not contain lymphoid tissue, and tumors arise at the submucosal layer.
