Introduction: Bezoars are concretions of human or vegetable fibers that accumulate in the gastrointestinal tract of humans and animals. Patients may remain asymptomatic for many years, and symptoms develop as bezoars increase in size to the point of obstruction or perforation. THE AIM OF THE STUDY WAS TO PRESENT: 3 cases of bezoars treated in our centre and review of the current knowledge about this disorder, emphasizing the diagnostic difficulties.
Conclusions: Physicians should consider bezoars as a differential diagnosis of acute abdomen. As bezoars may remain asymptomatic for many years, monitoring of pathogenetic and predisposing factors is essential, in particular in compulsive disorders.

Comparison of stop-jump muscle synergies in amateur basketball players with and without asymptomatic patellar tendon abnormalities during simulated games.

: Asymptomatic patellar tendon abnormality (APTA) is considered a precursor to patellar tendinopathy (PT), but its pathogenesis remains unclear, especially regarding changes in muscle coordination. Therefore, it is essential to explore the muscle synergy patterns in individuals with APTA. This study recorded sEMG data during stop-jump tasks in 8 APTA and 8 healthy amateur male basketball players in a simulated basketball game.

Department of Radiology, Rafidia Surgical Hospital, Nablus, Palestine.
May-Thurner syndrome (MTS), iliac vein compression syndrome, also called Cockett syndrome, is a vascular disease caused by the compression of the left common iliac vein (LCIV) by the right common iliac artery (RCIA) against the lumbar vertebrae. This anatomical defect can lead to venous stasis especially in the left lower limb, and this increases the risk of deep venous thrombosis (DVT). Because routine screening is not standard practice, MTS frequently remains asymptomatic, and its prevalence is probably underestimated.

Eosinophilic myocarditis (EM), irrespective of its unique etiology, is marked by varying extents of eosinophil infiltration, frequently accompanied by peripheral eosinophilia. In some instances, the etiology remains undetermined, thus classified as idiopathic hypereosinophilic syndrome. The clinical manifestations are highly variable, ranging from mild or asymptomatic presentations to acute fulminant myocarditis or chronic restrictive cardiomyopathy.
