Medicolegal autopsy on the dead body of an elderly female revealed that the liver was having some unusual shape. The left lobe of liver was bifid, having dumb bell type morphology. Also there were some furrows which were observed over the anterior surface of the liver. This type of morphological variant has not been reported hitherto. The clinicians should be aware of developmental morphological anomalies like in this case, as they might cause confusion during the procedures like biopsy, transplantation and lobectomies. We believe that this case report is important for the clinicians who are involved in the diagnosis and management of hepatic diseases. The knowledge is also enlightening for morphologists and embryologists.

Myelopathy Associated with Rapid Progression of a Dystrophic Neurofibromatosis-1 Curve - A Case Report and Review of Literature.
J Orthop Case Rep

Spinal Unit, Alderhey Children's NHS Foundation Trust, Liverpool, L14 5AB, United Kingdom.
Introduction: Thoracic myelopathy in neuro fibromatosis-1 (NF-1) is most commonly due to intra-spinal neurofibromas/dumb-bell tumors/intra-canal rib head penetration (RHP) causing cord compression. However, acute thoracic myelopathy due to rapid progression of the kyphoscoliotic curve alone in NF-1 without a significant spinal cord compression occurs very rarely. This case report discusses our experience with one such patient and we also discuss intraoperative and post-operative challenges encountered with this patient and a rare complication of hemothorax postoperatively.

We present a case of a 63-year-old male who presented with a swelling in the neck and axilla of four years' duration, which rapidly increased in size over the last three months. Clinical examination and imaging revealed a multiseptate mass extending from the posterior triangle of the neck to the right axilla and chest wall through the cervicoaxillary canal.

- A new species of flatworm, Dugesia saccaria, has been identified in the Xiangxi River, China, using a blend of morphological analysis and molecular systematics.
- The species features include a unique dumb-bell-shaped hump, a ventrally positioned ejaculatory duct, and a distinctive alignment of oviducts, which are critical for its classification.
- Molecular analysis, using four genetic markers, places Dugesia saccaria alongside other Dugesia species from the Australasian and Oriental regions, revealing its evolutionary relationships.
Factors predicting recurrence in benign spinal nerve sheath tumors: A retrospective study of 457 patients from a single institution.

Background: Benign Nerve sheath tumors (NST) comprise almost one-third of primary spinal tumours. The majority are sporadic. They have low rates of recurrence but an occasional recurrence may need re-surgery.

We report the self-assembly of a robust di-nuclear tetralactam macrocyle based on two symmetric components: a Rh(III) bis-porphyrin and a bis-pyridyl ligand. We probe the binding properties of the tetralactam macrocycle with adipamide derivatives using H NMR spectroscopy. On the one hand, we show that the binding of the adipamide having linear alkyl chains that can thread through the intact macrocycle's cavity produces a weakly bound 1 : 1 complex stabilized by four intermolecular hydrogen bonds and featuring a preferred binding geometry of [2]pseudorotaxane topology.
