Gastric schwannomas are rare mesenchymal tumors that arise from the nerve plexus of gut wall. They present with nonspecific symptoms and are often detected incidentally. Preoperative investigation is not pathognomic and many are therefore misdiagnosed as gastrointestinal stromal tumors. We report a rare case of a 37-year old woman who underwent laparotomy for complex bilateral ovarian cyst with resection of gastric-gastrointestinal stromal tumor preoperatively, but confirmed to have a gastric schwannomas postoperatively. This case underscores the differential diagnosis of submucosal, exophytic gastric mass as schwannoma.

Objective: The primary aim of this investigation is to assess the effectiveness of implementing an innovative immobilization approach, spec ically the utilization of personalized open-face masks in combination with styrofoam fixation, for head and neck cancers receiving radiotherapy. The study seeks to evaluate the influence of this method on improving patients' precision in positioning and their overall comfort during the treatment process, in addition to exploring its potential capacity to mitigate the occurrence of anxiety and depression in this patient population.
Methods: A prospective, randomized controlled trial was undertaken to investigate the comparative efficacy of two immobilization approaches for the radiotherapy treatment of head and neck cancers.
Background: Occult inguinal hernia is a unique clinical challenge characterized by asymptomatic presentation and the absence of detectable signs on physical examination, leading to frequent misdiagnosis and underdiagnosis. The advancement of laparoscopic hernia surgery has facilitated the identification of occult hernias, yet effective diagnostic and predictive methods remain lacking.
Objective: This study aims to evaluate the incidence and clinical characteristics of occult inguinal hernias detected during laparoscopic unilateral inguinal hernia repair and to provide evidence-based recommendations for their management.

Objectives: This study aimed to evaluate levels of fecal calprotectin (FC), a biomarker that helps distinguish irritable bowel syndrome from inflammatory gut disorders, in patients with fibromyalgia syndrome (FMS) and compare them to healthy controls.
Patients And Methods: The cross-sectional study was carried out on patients diagnosed with FMS according to the ACR (American College of Rheumatology) 2016 classification and healthy controls between January 2021 and February 2022. FMS patients were grouped according to the absence (Group 1) or presence (Group 2) of gastrointestinal symptoms.
