Iatrogenic incarcerated diaphragmatic hernia following laparoscopic resection of a diaphragmatic cystic lymphangioma: A case report.

Introduction: Incarcerated iatrogenic right diaphragm hernia stands as a rare occurrence. Swift diagnosis and timely management are imperative. This article presents a particularly uncommon case of a right diaphragmatic hernia resulting from a neglected defect following the resection of a diaphragmatic lymphangioma and sheds light on the pitfalls that may lead to such a post-operative event.

Abdominal cocoon: A rare case report of a small bowel obstruction.

Introduction: Sclerosing encapsulating peritonitis (SEP), or abdominal cocoon, is a remarkably rare entity. It consists of a fibrous layer or cocoon-like sac encasing, in most cases, the small bowel. The lack of specific symptoms makes preoperative diagnosis challenging.

Novel Application of Hydrodissection in Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy for Gangrenous Gallbladders.

Introduction: Laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC) for gangrenous gallbladders (GGBs) can be challenging and represent a significant number of LC cases, necessitating more efficacious surgical techniques. Currently, the standard treatment for GGBs is blunt dissection which can have high iatrogenic complication rates. To our knowledge, this is the first large retrospective study conducted on the novel application of hydrodissection (HD) in LCs for GGBs.

Mepolizumab as a Potential Protective Factor of COVID-19 Mortality: A Case Report of Chronic Bronchitis and Asthma in an Elderly Patient.

BACKGROUND Patients with multiple comorbidities who are infected with severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) have a higher risk of mortality. However, treatment with mepolizumab may be a key factor in counteracting the risk of these comorbidities. We present a patient who had an uneventful recovery from coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), despite having 5 independent risk factors for severe disease and increased mortality.

Endometriosis and COVID-19: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.

Endometriosis is defined as ectopic endometrial tissues dispersed outside the endometrium. This can cause disruption in hormonal and immunological processes, which may increase susceptibility to SARS-CoV-2 infection. Worsening of endometriosis symptoms may occur as a result of this infection.

Endometriosis and irritable bowel syndrome: A systematic review and meta-analyses.

Objective: To estimate the pooled odds ratio of endometriosis and irritable bowel syndrome, and to estimate the pooled prevalence of irritable bowel syndrome in patients with endometriosis.

Data Sources: Using Cochrane Library, MEDLINE, Science Direct, ClinicalTrials.gov, Web of Science, and CINAHL, we conducted a systematic literature search through October 2021, using the key terms "endometriosis" and "irritable bowel syndrome.

Randomized cross-over study and a qualitative analysis comparing virtual microscopy and light microscopy for learning undergraduate histopathology.

Background: Virtual microscopy (VM) use in teaching and learning is increasing worldwide. However, there is a paucity of information comparing it to light microscopy (LM) in learning undergraduate histopathology. We investigated whether VM or LM had a higher impact on student learning and performance in histopathology.
