Objective And Method: To retrospectively summarize the pathological features and management of small bowel diverticula of in 32 cases.
Results: Complications of small bowel diverticula were effectively treated surgically with good short-term and long-term clinical outcomes. The diverticulum found during the abdominal operation should be treated in time. The complications from the small intestine diverticulum included inflammation, bleeding, stone, perforation and bowel obstruction which arised from the stagnation, impaction, and friction of the contents in the diverticulum or from adhesion zone of long diveritculum. The complications were closely related to the histology of diverticular wall, the type of heterotopic tissue of diverticular mucosa, morphology of the diverticulum and contents in the diverticulum.
Conclusion: The complications of small bowel diverticulum are the rare cause of acute abdomen which would be surgically treated effectively.

Intussusception in adults is rare and poses a diagnostic challenge, often due to neoplastic causes. Metastatic melanoma is known to spread to the gastrointestinal tract, especially the small intestine. We report the case of a patient with obstructive symptoms and a history of metastatic melanoma.

This condition results in hypoalbuminemia, hypogammaglobulinemia, and lymphopenia due to the abnormal leakage of lymphatic fluid into the gastrointestinal tract. As there are no specific serological or radiological tests available, the gold standard for diagnosing intestinal lymphangiectasia is endoscopic examination with histopathological examination of intestinal biopsy specimens.

Lymphatic Malformations (LMs) are benign congenital malformations of the lymphatic system that commonly involve the abdomen in children (mesentery of the small intestine and omentum). The management of these malformations is not unique. 7 children with different ages (range: newborn to 14 years), diagnosis was incidental in some cases, while in others for abdominal pain.

The broad ligament, a double-layered peritoneum attaching the lateral uterus to the pelvic sidewall, plays a vital role in pelvic anatomy. Small bowel herniation through a defect in the broad ligament, known as broad ligament herniation, involving protrusion of viscera through defects in this ligament, is rare but can lead to severe complications. This systematic review aims to evaluate the presentation, diagnosis, management, and factors associated with broad ligament herniation.

Tropical peas can be used as both animal feed and human food but the nutritional quality of their proteins for humans is currently poorly documented. Here, 3 varieties of tropical peas were studied at two stages of seed maturity (green or dry): Cajanus Cajan (CC), Vigna Unguiculata (VU) and Lablab Purpureus (LP). Pea seeds were prepared traditionally (soaking and cooking).
