Trends of primary liver cancer incidence and mortality in the United States: A population-based study over the last four decades.

Background: Primary liver cancer is the third leading cause of cancer deaths worldwide and has one of the worst 5-year survival rates. This study examines US primary liver cancer incidence and incidence-based mortality trends over four decades.

Research Design And Methods: The SEER-9 registry was used to study primary liver cancer cases from 1978 to 2018.

Trends of chronic lymphocytic leukemia incidence and mortality in the United States: a population-based study over the last four decades.

Background: Chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) is the most common leukemia among adults, and its incidence is higher in elderly individuals. This study aims to examine the burden of CLL in the United States (US) by exploring the incidence-based rates (IBR) and incidence-based mortality (IBMR) across four decades.

Research Design And Methods: CLL incidence data were obtained from the SEER-8 registry, covering 8.

Sclerosing Encapsulating Peritonitis Mimicking an Internal Hernia: A Case Report.

Sclerosing encapsulating peritonitis (SEP) is a rare entity that could lead to abdominal obstruction; however, despite being reported in several case series, its underlying pathophysiology is still unclear. A large proportion of SEP cases are diagnosed incidentally or after surgical exploration, which poses a great challenge to pre-operative diagnosis. We hereby report a case of a 33-year-old male patient who presented with cachexia and a clinical picture of complete small bowel obstruction.

Congenital Diaphragmatic Hernia With Kidney and Spleen Herniation in the United Arab Emirates: A Case Report.

Congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH) is a severe congenital anomaly that leads to herniation of abdominal viscera to the chest, which presents with respiratory distress shortly after birth. Spleen herniation is a rare finding, and kidney herniation is even more exceedingly rare. We hereby report a case of a neonate that developed severe respiratory distress secondary to CDH.
