Reno-Duodenal Fistula as a Complication of Staghorn Stones and Renal Pelvis Tumor: A Case Presentation.

Reno alimentary fistula, a rare illness characterized by improper connection between the kidney and digestive tract, can lead to urinary tract infections, abscesses, and severe sepsis. It can also be caused by various factors such as chronic infections, malignancy, cryoablation, or abdominal surgical procedures. We present a case of a 60-year-old man with bilateral staghorn stones who was diagnosed with reno-duodenal fistula and underwent a right simple nephrectomy and fistula closure.

Immunohistochemical and Clinicopathological Characteristics of Invasive Breast Carcinoma in Nigeria.

Objectives: We aimed to study the immunohistochemical and clinicopathological characteristics of invasive breast carcinoma among Nigerian women.

Methods: We conducted a retrospective assessment of female patients diagnosed with breast carcinoma at a tertiary hospital in Nigeria between 2012 and 2019. Archived pathology request forms and processed specimens (tissue blocks and slides) were used as source data in addition to the patients' demographic and other relevant data.

Thoracic Spinal Intradural Arachnoid Cyst With a Fulminant Course.

Spinal arachnoid cysts are rarely occurring benign cerebrospinal fluid-containing lesions that can occur anywhere along the spinal axis but are principally seen in the thoracic spine. They occur either ventrally or dorsally and can be extradural, intradural extramedullary, or intramedullary. They may be asymptomatic or can present with insidious pain and neurologic symptoms related to spinal cord and/or nerve root compression.

Characterization and Ofloxacin Adsorption Studies of Chemically Modified Activated Carbon from Cassava Stem.

Cassava is a type of crop popular in Asian countries. It can be easily cultivated and grows to a mature plant in 9 months. Considering its availability, this work studied activated carbon based on cassava stem.

Comparison of continuous preperitoneal infiltration versus patient controlled analgesia for pain control in elective colorectal surgery.

Background: Post-operative analgesia is crucial in enhanced recovery after surgery and to minimize post-operative complications. There remains data paucity on the efficacy of preperitoneal analgesia (PPA) compared to patient-controlled analgesia (PCA). This study aims to examine the efficacy of preperitoneal infusion as analgesia following elective colorectal surgery.
