Heterotopic mesenteric ossification (HMO) is a rare disease inducing pathological bone tissue formation in the abdominal cavity after multiple operational traumas. The authors present an unusual case of mesenteric ossification formation in a 30 year-old man after surgery due to status ileosus on the basis of intestinal incarceration. After being released into home treatment the patient had to be hospitalized again and reoperated. During the next six weeks, the patient was reoperated three more times due to intestinal status ileosus and significant leaking of the entero-cutaneous fistula. Despite intensive parenteral hyperalimentation the patients condition did not improve and metabolic breakdown became fatal for the patient. Pathophysiology of the mechanism of bone tissue formation in soft tissues is unknown.

Article Synopsis
- An adult female mixed breed sow was necropsied due to symptoms like lethargy and breathing difficulties.
- Post-mortem examination revealed an intestinal volvulus caused by an unusual intra-abdominal bone-like growth termed intra-abdominal heterotopic mesenteric ossification (IHMO).
- The study emphasizes the need for using CT and histopathology together for accurate diagnosis and suggests that further investigation could improve our understanding of this rare condition in animals.

Heterotopic mesenteric ossification (HMO) represents a rare reactive condition characterized by abnormal bone formation within the mesentery. HMO's etiology remains enigmatic, with proposed triggers including trauma-induced metaplasia or bone fragment dislodgment from other sites during abdominal surgery. With fewer than 100 documented cases in the literature, much about this condition remains unknown.

Background: Heterotopic mesenteric ossification (HMO) is a clinically rare condition characterized by the formation of bone tissue in the mesentery. The worldwide reporting of such cases is limited to just over 70 instances in the medical literature. The etiology of HMO remains unclear, but the disease is possibly induced by mechanical trauma, ischemia, or intra-left lower quadrant abdominal infection, leading to the differentiation of mesenchymal stem cells into osteoblasts.

Two Domestic Korean Shorthair cats presented with dyschezia and vomiting. Computed tomography revealed a colonic mass with calcification and lymph node metastasis in case 1, and a small intestinal mass with disseminated mesenteric metastasis and calcification in case 2. Histopathology revealed intestinal adenocarcinoma with osseous metaplasia.

Article Synopsis
- Osteoporosis is a bone disease marked by low bone density and weakened bone structure, and CQ (Hadjod) is a traditional herb known for its potential to protect against bone diseases like osteoporosis.
- The study explored how CQ influences bone health by modulating the immune system, particularly focusing on its effects on preventing bone loss during estrogen deficiency.
- Results indicated that CQ not only reduces the formation and activity of bone-destroying cells (osteoclasts) but also enhances the levels of immune cells and cytokines that help protect bone health.
