Congenital rectovestibular fistulas with normal anus are a rare form of anorectal malformations, especially in the Western hemisphere. Due to its rarity, consensus on preoperative management, surgical technique and postoperative care is still in debate. We describe a specific case with its management plan and outcomes while providing an up to date literature review on current management trends.

Lipopolysaccharide (LPS) destroys intestinal mechanical barrier and causes apoptosis by triggering oxidative stress and inflammatory responses. Glutamine (Gln) can maintain normal intestinal function under various stressed or pathological conditions. Thereby, this study aims to evaluate the protection of glutamine on intestinal health of snakehead (Channa argus), specifically regarding the NF-κB/MLCK/MLC2 signaling pathway mediated by tight junction affecting oxidative stress, inflammation and apoptosis.

This study aimed to determine the normal size of the male external genital organs and anogenital distance in human fetuses during the fetal period through the anatomic morphometric method. The study was performed on 104 spontaneously aborted human male fetuses aged between 10 and 39 weeks of gestation. Fetuses were divided into groups according to gestational weeks, months, and trimesters.

Objective: This study investigated the efficacy and safety of electrocautery ablation for high-grade squamous intraepithelial lesions (HSILs) in men who have sex with men (MSM) including people with human immunodeficiency virus, using comprehensive biopsy with high-resolution anoscopy (HRA).
Methods: This single-arm, open-label pilot study included 20 MSM with HSIL who were treated with electrocautery ablation. The participants were recruited from the National Center for Global Health and Medicine and followed up using HRA with a comprehensive biopsy approach at 3- and 6-months post-ablation.

is often considered a complex associated with a healthy plant-based diet that acts as a "probiotic" throughout the body's entire digestive tract from the mouth to the anus. Previous studies have not reported that this "probiotic" colonizing the human body could cause severe pneumonia. This case report describes a 56-year-old healthy female worker with gum pain followed by fever.

Few studies have demonstrated the interplay between human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), anal human papillomavirus (HPV), and anal microbiota, especially in persons living with HIV who are men who have sex with men. We, therefore, explored these interrelationships in a cohort of persons living with HIV, mainly comprising men who have sex with men. HPV genotyping using a commercial genotyping kit and ThinPrep cytology interpreted by Bethesda systems was performed on samples from 291 patients.
