Background/aims: The timing for the management of gallstones pancreatitis remains a contentious issue. Various scholars have their own achievement in in regards to this issue.
Methodology: We reviewed our hospital charts from Jan 2007 to December 2010 and made a comparative study about early and delayed LC for mild to moderate gallstone pancreatitis in 80 patients.
Results: Successful management was obtained in all patients. Out of 80 patients, 54 had underwent for early LC within 48 hours and 26 delayed LC (6-8 weeks).
Conclusions: Our study reveals that early cholecystectomy has nice outcomes in terms of shorter hospital stay and expenses. Proper consultation should be taken from radiological colleague if CBD dilations are >6 mm and contraction of gallbladder appears on imaging modalities. Comorbid conditions, past history of cholecystitis cannot be avoided for proper surgical outcomes. Postoperative complications can be deterred by early LC for mild gallstone pancreatitis. However, large volume studies are essential from different places to answer the debated topic of which management protocol is justifiable for the management of mild to moderate gall stone pancreatitis.

Importance: Cervical cancer screening is a crucial public health intervention, but screening disparities exist for women with physical disabilities (WWPD).
Objective: To explore the experiences of WWPD with both traditional speculum examination-based screening and at-home self-sampling for cervical cancer screening.
Design, Setting, And Participants: This qualitative study enrolled 56 WWPD to test self-sampling kits, provide feedback via a survey, and participate in a qualitative interview.

Precursor pre-invasive vulvar lesions are frequently underdiagnosed. Routine vulvar inspection during cervical cancer screening could offer an opportunity for the detection of these lesions.

Objective: To identify strategies to prevent and treat delayed gastric emptying (DGE) after pancreatic surgery.
Background: Among all complications of pancreatic surgery, DGE has the largest impact on prolonged hospital stay. Several randomized controlled trials (RCTs) have addressed DGE after pancreatic surgery, either as primary or as secondary outcome.

Hypomanic personality traits (HPT) are susceptibility markers for psychiatric disorders, particularly bipolar disorder, and are strongly associated with aggressive behaviors. However, the neuropsychological mechanisms underlying this association remain unclear. This study utilized psychometric network analysis and (IS-RSA) to explore the neuropsychological circuits that link HPT to aggression in a large non-clinical population.

Ectopic breast tissue (EBT) represents a congenital anomaly caused by incomplete regression of mammary ridges at the time of embryonic development. Typically, EBT presents along the mammary line, although usually in the axillary region, it has been located occasionally in unusual sites such as the vulva. Though relatively rare, it is generally subject to a wide range of pathologies that afflict normal breast tissue, encompassing both benign and malignant transformations.
