Background: Median arcuate ligament syndrome (MALS) is a rare disorder characterized by compression of the celiac axis. Recently, laparoscopic approaches to median arcuate ligament release (MALR) have been described. The purpose of this study is to evaluate our institutional experience and outcomes with laparoscopic MALR.

Background: Median arcuate ligament syndrome (MALS) occurs due to extrinsic compression of the coeliac plexus, leading to postprandial and exercise-induced epigastric pain, nausea, vomiting, food fear and weight loss. Diagnosis can be challenging as up to 25% of the population have radiological compression. However, only 1% of the population have corresponding symptoms.

Objectives: The purpose of this cross-sectional study was to examine fatigue and its relationship to the gut microbiome in adult Black women with PCOS.
Methods: Adult Black women with a diagnosis of PCOS were recruited for this cross-sectional study.

Dieulafoy lesions are a rare cause of gastrointestinal bleeding, characterized by an enlarged submucosal blood vessel that bleeds without visible abnormalities. The diagnosis is typically made via endoscopy, and treatment usually involves endoscopic therapy. This case involves a 46-year-old female who presented with upper gastrointestinal bleeding due to a Dieulafoy's lesion, treated with band ligation and later embolization after the lesion was found to originate from the left phrenic artery.

Inferior pancreaticoduodenal artery aneurysm (IPDA) with the stenosis of the celiac axis is rare and may cause rupture. A unique etiology of IPDAs with celiac stenosis is median arcuate ligament syndrome. These aneurysms develop as a result of the dilation of the arteries from the retrograde blood flow into the pancreaticoduodenal arches because of celiac artery compression by the median arcuate ligament.
