Midgut Volvulus on an Octogenarian Male: A Case Report.

Midgut volvulus is a rare incidence in adults, especially in octogenarians. More unlikely is to find a midgut volvulus without necrosis or the need to do bowel resection when the volvulus is found within an internal hernia due to a mesenteric defect. No case has been reported with our unusual presentation, making it a rare and challenging discovery.

Adenocarcinoma of the Breast Presenting as Occult Breast Cancer With Axillary and Supraclavicular Lymph Node Metastasis: A Case Report.

Breast cancer is a leading cause of cancer-related mortality in women, with over 250,000 new cases diagnosed annually in the United States. Although mortality rates have decreased, breast cancer remains the second most common cause of cancer death in women. Occult breast cancer (OBC), a rare form of breath cancer that typically presents as axillary lymphadenopathy with no evidence of primary disease, accounts for less than 1% of all breath cancer diagnoses.

Bilateral Concurrent Benign Phyllodes Tumor in a 43-Year-Old Female: A Case Report.

Phyllodes tumor is considered a rare form of breast tissue neoplasm that presents as a rapidly growing painless mass. This neoplasm is classified as benign, borderline, or malignant and standard treatment consists of surgical excision with clear margins.

The Clinical Utility of Over-the-Scope Clip for the Treatment of Gastrointestinal Defects.

Background: The over-the-scope clip (OTSC) is a novel endoscopic tool that enables non-surgical management of gastrointestinal (GI) defects. The aim of this study was to report our experience with OTSC for patients with GI defects.

Methods: A prospectively maintained IRB-approved institutional database was queried for all patients treated with OTSC from 2012 to 2015.

Unresectable Hepatocellular Carcinoma: Radioembolization Versus Chemoembolization: A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis.

Background: Transarterial radioembolization (TARE) has emerged as a newer regional therapy to transarterial chemoembolization (TACE) for treatment of unresectable hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). The aim of this study is to compare clinical outcomes of both the techniques.

Methods: Online search for studies comparing TARE to TACE from 2005 to present was performed.
