Context: Agenesis of the dorsal pancreas is a rare anomaly, mostly associated with other medical conditions. It may be complicated with pancreatic neoplasms.
Case Report: We report the case of a 51-year-old male with selective agenesis of pancreatic isthmus with preservation of main pancreatic duct and branch-duct intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasm (BD-IPMN) with suspicious features of the pancreas.
Conclusion: This is probably the first report of isolated agenesis of pancreatic isthmus with conservation of main pancreatic duct.

Encountering Arc of Bühler during pancreaticoduodenectomy surgery.

The Arc of Bühler (AoB) is a rare anatomical variant in gastrointestinal vasculature where there is an aberrant anastomotic vessel between coeliac and superior mesenteric arteries. We present a rare case where AoB was noted intraoperatively to have haemodynamically significant flow in the context of coeliac artery stenosis, supplementing arterial supply to the hepatic artery proper via the gastroduodenal artery (GDA). An interpositional jump graft between the aorta and the GDA stump was created using the long saphenous vein, and flow was restored.

Pancreatoduodenectomy and distal pancreatectomy are standard treatments for various pancreatic pathologies. These procedures involve radical resection and a significant loss of pancreatic tissue, which can lead to exocrine and/or endocrine pancreatic insufficiency. In selected cases of benign tumors or those with low malignant potential, central pancreatectomy can be performed with acceptable morbidity and mortality rates.

Dyslipidemia in infants is a rare condition characterized by abnormal levels of lipids in the blood, such as cholesterol and triglycerides. Early diagnosis poses a challenge due to nonspecific symptoms and lipid criteria differing from adults. Through two clinical cases of familial dyslipidemia (Type 1 Familial Hypercholesterolemia and Type 2b Combined Familial Hyperlipidemia), we highlight the diagnostic and therapeutic challenges encountered in infants, emphasizing the importance of a multidisciplinary approach in care and early screening.

Background: This study aimed to explore the feasibility and safety of using 5G communication technology for domestic surgical robots to perform ultra-remote hepatobiliary and pancreatic surgery.
Methods: A retrospective analysis was conducted on the clinical data of five cases of ultra-remote domestic robot-assisted laparoscopic hepatobiliary and pancreatic surgery completed at Sir Run Run Shaw Hospital, Zhejiang University School of Medicine (referred to as Hangzhou, Zhejiang) and Sir Run Run Shaw Hospital, Alaer Hospital, Zhejiang University School of Medicine (referred to as Alaer city, Xinjiang) from February to September 2023. The main system of the operating desk at Hangzhou, Zhejiang, uses 5G network signal transmission to remotely control the bedside operating system at Alaer City, Xinjiang.

Article Synopsis
- Gestational Diabetes Mellitus (GDM) is a common pregnancy complication that can affect renal function and oxidative stress, prompting this study on the potential benefits of olive leaf extracts and stem cells.
- Research involved pregnant rats with induced diabetes to measure various kidney and oxidative stress markers, finding that treatments significantly improved these conditions.
- Results indicated that both treatments not only reduced harmful substance levels but also promoted cellular regeneration and improved kidney tissue structure, suggesting their effectiveness in managing GDM-related complications.
