Background: Advances in the use of laparoscopic surgery, especially in the biliary apparatus interference makes the need to revise the anatomical data of the gallbladder (GB) more important. Variations of the extra-hepatic biliary apparatus are characterized by large varieties of configurations.
Objective: The aim of this article was to study the morphology of the GB in Sudanese subjects and review the common variations.
Materials And Methods: Dissection of formalin-fixed cadavers' abdomens.
Results: GB is larger in Sudanese subjects than what is described in the standard text books.
Conclusion: Congenital anomalies and anatomical variations of the extra-hepatic biliary tree, although not uncommon, can be of clinical importance. There are some differences in the only size of GB in Sudanese.

Introduction Diabetes is a rapidly growing global health concern, with the World Health Organization (WHO) estimating that 300 million adults will have diabetes by 2025. This chronic condition is associated with complications, including nephropathy, retinopathy, neuropathy, cardiovascular disease, and diabetic foot ulcers (DFUs), which can lead to amputation. Diabetic septic foot (DSF), a severe form of diabetic foot disease, is defined by the WHO as the presence of infection, ulceration, or tissue destruction in the lower limb, often accompanied by neurological abnormalities, peripheral vascular disease, and metabolic complications of diabetes.

In pathologies and fractures of the coracoid process, understanding the morphometric variations is essential for devising optimal surgical strategies. Given the substantial lack of relevant data, this study aimed to analyze the morphometric variations in the dimensions of the coracoid process among the Sudanese population and evaluate the differences in the measurements in relation to gender.

Article Synopsis
- The study examined the relationship between body measurements and eye characteristics in 250 young adults in Sudan, focusing on factors like height, weight, and body mass index (BMI) and their correlation with ocular parameters.
- Among the participants, taller individuals were found to have longer axial lengths, deeper vitreous cavities, and flatter corneas, while body weight showed a positive association with axial length and vitreous depth.
- Ultimately, the research highlights the importance of understanding these correlations for better diagnosis and treatment of vision and systemic health issues.

Background: Postoperative fluid and electrolyte management is crucial for adequate patients' recovery and healing. This audit aimed to assess the current practice of postoperative intravenous fluids (IV) and electrolyte administration and investigate postoperative electrolyte disturbances.
Method: This study was conducted at Soba Teaching Hospital and comprised two cycles, it examined adult patients who underwent abdominal surgery and were exclusively on postoperative intravenous fluid therapy for at least one day.
