Between 2 and 53% of patients with brucellosis, patients develop spondylitis, and people between the ages of 50 and 60 are the most commonly affected. It mostly affects the lumbar vertebrae (L4 and L5 in particular) and the thoracic vertebrae.

It is typically associated with liver cirrhosis, hyperestrogenism, and alcohol consumption. In this case report, we present a unique instance of a patient who developed spider angioma at the injection site of the meningitis vaccine as a long-term adverse effect.

The orf virus, a DNA virus belonging to the Poxviridae family, infects epidermal keratinocytes via breaking down the skin barrier, which can be caused by burns or wounds. The accompanying characteristic skin lesions can take on a range of morphologies depending on the infection's stage; lesions that are crusted, papillomatous, maculopapular, targetoid, and nodular can occur before clearing up.

Intussusception or polyps blocking the gastrointestinal lumen are examples of PJS consequences. Additionally, the polyps may cause ongoing bleeding that causes anaemia.

We present a rare case of a 23-year-old female diagnosed with primary hyperoxaluria and end-stage renal disease, who presented with papules on the palms without any vascular complications. The skin can be affected by oxalate deposition, resulting in various manifestations such as vascular complications or calcified nodules.

On magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), the "lentiform fork sign" has been described as bilateral symmetrical hyperintensities in the basal ganglia encircled by a hyperintese rim delineating the lentiform nucleus. Changes in uremic solute retention, aberrant blood-brain barrier transport, disordered vascular reactivity, altered electrolyte and acid-base balance, and altered hormone metabolism are the most likely causes of the condition.

However, there are no studies about using EBM in clinical practice among resident doctors in Syria. In this study, we aimed to evaluate the self-reported knowledge, attitude and practice (KAP) of EBM by resident doctors throughout different teaching hospitals in Syria.

All parts of the body can be infected, especially the liver and lungs. Intraorbital hydatid cyst (HC) is a rare entity and accounts for less than 1% of all hydatid cysts.
