- Liposarcoma of the uterine corpus is an extremely rare tumor with distinctive characteristics and treatment difficulties, as shown in a case study of a 57-year-old woman.
- The patient initially had surgery and chemotherapy after presenting with severe abdominal issues, but faced multiple recurrences over the following years, including a more aggressive form of the tumor.
- This case emphasizes the need for careful monitoring and individualized treatment plans to tackle the aggressive behavior of recurrent liposarcoma, particularly when it transforms into a dedifferentiated form.
Background: In Pakistan, 74 children out of 1000 lose their lives annually due to diarrheal illness. This commentary addresses the contributing factors aggravating this growing dilemma and the effect of a simultaneous rise in COVID-19 cases in a healthcare system ready to collapse, along with providing recommendations to alleviate the problems causing this spike in diarrheal cases.
Methods: This narrative review has emphasized the causes of the spike in pediatric diarrheal illnesses in Pakistan as well as recommendations offered to lessen the burden by incorporating recent literature ( = 68).

Among these challenges, it is important to note the need for stronger epidemiological surveillance for both COVID-19 and dengue and the implementation of public health measures without endangering sources of livelihood.
