We report the case of a laparoscopic resection of a symptomatic duodenal diverticulum. A 35 year old female with history of pain in the upper abdomen, nausea and regurgitation was diagnosed with a diverticulum of the second portion of the duodenum on the external border at upper gastrointestinal radiography. The diverticulum size was medium (2 cm in diameter). Under general anesthesia, a pneumoperitoneum was created. Four trocars were inserted into the peritoneal cavity for this intervention. After the sectioning of posterior parietal peritoneum on the external border of the second portion of duodenum, the diverticulum was dissected. The resection was performed with an endo-GIA linear stapler at the base of the diverticulum. One subhepatic drain was inserted. The operative time was 30 min. There were no intra- or postoperative complications. Postoperative gastrointestinal series revealed no signs of diverticulum or stenosis on the second portion of the duodenum. The patient was discharged in the fifth postoperative day after a normal course. The follow-up evaluation was normal.

Background: Tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) improve prognosis in chronic myeloid leukemia (CML). Nilotinib and ponatinib, second- and third-generation TKIs, respectively, have been reported to cause adverse vascular occlusive events such as myocardial infarction and peripheral arterial disease. However, little is known about the risk of cerebral infarction associated with severe cerebrovascular stenosis, which is a late complication of TKIs.

Compared with long bone that arises from the mesoderm, the major portion of the maxillofacial bones and the front bone of the skull are derived from cranial neural crest cells and undergo intramembranous ossification. Human skeletal stem cells have been identified in embryonic and fetal long bones. Here, we describe a single-cell atlas of the human embryonic mandible and identify a population of cranio-maxillofacial skeletal stem cells (CMSSCs).

Globally the incidence and prevalence of chronic kidney disease (CKD) is increasing day by day. Various biochemical and hematological abnormalities are associated with CKD that leads to morbidity and mortality. The aim of this observational study was to evaluate the socio-demographic profile, biochemical and hematological parameters of chronic kidney disease patients in Mymensingh Medical College Hospital, Mymensingh, Bangladesh from January 2020 to December 2020.

State-of-the-art navigated transcranial magnetic stimulation (nTMS) systems can display the TMS coil position relative to the structural magnetic resonance image (MRI) of the subject's brain and calculate the induced electric field. However, the local effect of TMS propagates via the white-matter network to different areas of the brain, and currently there is no commercial or research neuronavigation system that can highlight in real time the brain's structural connections during TMS. This lack of real-time visualization may overlook critical inter-individual differences in brain connectivity and does not provide the opportunity to target brain networks.
