Background: Classically, there are two techniques for establishing pneumoperitoneum in laparoscopic and robotic surgeries: the closed Veress needle technique and Hasson's technique for open placement of laparoscopic ports. Most surgeons prefer the open Hasson technique, even though it is not the gold standard. Some surgeons still favour the Veress needle technique despite literature linking it to visceral and vascular damage.

Introduction: Colorectal cancer (CRC) is the world's third most frequent cancer, with a significant mortality rate due to late detection. There is a need to search for biomarkers that can detect colorectal cancer at an early stage. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) regulate several targets that function as oncogenes and/or tumor suppressor genes, so any change in microRNA expression level can predict abnormality.

- A 59-year-old healthy woman experienced mild respiratory symptoms and was diagnosed with pneumonitis due to a rare bacterial infection from dog saliva, despite no history of being bitten.
- The diagnosis was confirmed through blood tests and the patient received treatment with beta-lactam antibiotics.
- While the bacterium is commonly found in the saliva of dogs and cats, human infections are rare and usually affect those with weakened immune systems, often leading to severe illness.
Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to compare the effectiveness and toxicity of two radiation techniques for treating locally advanced cervical cancer: traditional 3DCRT and advanced IG-IMRT, to lessen side effects while maintaining tumor control.
- Conducted as a randomized trial, 173 patients were evaluated after being treated with external beam radiation and brachytherapy, with results showing IG-IMRT led to significantly reduced acute toxicities while maintaining similar tumor control rates to 3DCRT.
- The findings suggest that using IG-IMRT with personalized margins might be a better option for minimizing treatment-related side effects in patients with locally advanced cervical carcinoma.
Background & Objective: Pregnancy in women diagnosed with Type-1 diabetes mellitus poses a higher risk of experiencing complications related to the health of the fetus, the mother, and the newborn, along with potential obstetric issues. The objective of this study was to examine the maternal and fetal outcomes, as well as complications faced by pregnant women with type-1 diabetes, and to identify potential preventable factors.
Methods: This retrospective cohort study, conducted at Baqai Institute of Diabetology and Endocrinology (BIDE), Baqai Medical University, Karachi, Pakistan (January 2022 - January 2023), focused on registered pregnancies of women with Type-1 diabetes.
