We report an unusual presentation of pouch dysfunction because of excessive pouch enlargement or "mega pouch" and probable torsion. The patient presented with abdominal pain that was positional. Contrast-enhanced computerized tomography showed pouch anastomotic staples extending into the right upper quadrant. At operation, gross pouch enlargement with dilation of the afferent ileum was confirmed. Reduction pouch-plasty resulted in pain resolution and maintenance of satisfactory function.

Reducing excess electrolytes offers a promising approach to improve the specific energy of electrochemical energy storage devices. However, using lean electrolytes presents a significant challenge for porous electrode materials due to heterogeneous wetting. The spontaneous wetting of nano- or meso-pores within particles, though seldom discussed, adversely affects wetting under lean electrolyte conditions.

Rathke's cleft cyst apoplexy presented as pituitary apoplexy: A case report.

December 2024
Shree Birendra Hospital, Chhauni, Kathmandu 44600, Nepal.
Article Synopsis
- Rathke's cleft cysts (RCCs) are benign lesions linked to the pituitary gland and can occasionally mimic more common pituitary tumor complications like apoplexy, even though this happens rarely.
- In a case study, a 30-year-old male with headaches and vomiting had an RCC that was surgically treated, leading to its resolution and requiring ongoing thyroid hormone replacement.
- The report highlights the necessity of including RCCs in the diagnoses of pituitary lesions, especially when hemorrhage is present, as surgical intervention has positive outcomes.
Gastric Pouch Resizing for Recurrent Weight Gain After Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass-Does It Have Its Rational?
Obes Surg
December 2024
Department of Visceral and Transplant Surgery, Swiss HPB Center, University Hospital Zurich, 8091, Zurich, Switzerland.
Article Synopsis
- Metabolic-bariatric surgery (MBS) is the best treatment for obesity, but many patients experience recurrent weight gain after Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB), leading to associated health issues; gastric pouch resizing (GPR) offers a low-risk solution for this weight regain.
- A study involving 48 patients who underwent GPR after RYGB showed significant weight stabilization over time, with a mean follow-up indicating an improvement in BMI and resolution of obesity-related health conditions in more than half of the participants.
- The procedure was determined to be safe, with low rates of complications, and patients reported high satisfaction levels, making GPR a worthwhile option for those struggling with weight regain post-surgery.
Abdominal B-Cell Lymphoma Mimicking Ovarian Cancer.
Diagnostics (Basel)

Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, University Medical Center of Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz, 55131 Mainz, Germany.
Article Synopsis
- A 54-year-old woman presented with upper abdominal pressure, difficulty breathing, and swelling, leading to the discovery of pleural effusion, ascites, and an enlarged lymph node, suggestive of ovarian cancer.
- Upon further examination through gynecological sonography, findings confirmed ascites, an ovarian cyst, and peritoneal carcinosis, prompting a staging laparoscopy.
- Biopsies revealed a stage III B-cell lymphoma instead of ovarian cancer, and the patient began successful treatment with R-CHOP chemotherapy, showing stable health six months later.
