Article Synopsis
- Leptospirosis is a widespread bacterium that affects both humans and animals, typically causing mild infections, but in some cases, it can lead to severe conditions like Weil's disease, which involves liver issues and, rarely, complications such as cholecystitis.
- In a case study, a 66-year-old man with symptoms of abdominal pain, fever, and jaundice was initially diagnosed with acute calculous cholecystitis, but further investigation revealed signs of leptospirosis, leading to appropriate treatment before surgery.
- The study highlights that Weil's disease can imitate acute cholecystitis symptoms, emphasizing the need for careful diagnosis and the consideration of leptospirosis in patients with certain risk
Purpose: Laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG) is the most popular primary bariatric metabolic procedure worldwide but severe complications are still reported, and there is no ideal technique to avoid them. This study analyses the impact of oversewing (OS) and gastropexy (GP) on complication rate, early dyspeptic and late de novo GERD symptoms after LSG.
Material And Method: A case-control study was conducted on patients with obesity who underwent LSG.

January 2019
Introduction: A hypercalcaemic crisis, also called para thyrotoxicosis, hyper parathyroid crisis or parathyroid storm, is a complication of primary hyperparathyroidism (PHPT) and an endocrinology emergency that can have dramatic or even fatal consequences if it is not recognised and treated in time.
Case Presentation: Two cases presented in the emergency department with critical hypercalcaemic symptoms and severe elevation of serum calcium and parathyroid hormone levels, consistent with a hypercalcaemic crisis. The first case, a 16-year-old female patient, had imaging data that highlighted a single right inferior parathyroid adenoma and a targeted surgical approach was used.
