A polycephalic larva of Taeniidae family isolated from abdominal cavity of a great gerbil () from Golestan province, northern Iran, was subjected to molecular analysis. Genomic DNA from the larva was obtained using a DNA extraction tissue kit. Polymerase chain reaction was performed for amplification of the partial 12S rRNA, cytochrome oxidase subunit 1 (cox1) and NADH dehydrogenase 1 (nad1) mitochondrial genes. BLAST analysis of DNA sequencing indicated 99.00% homology in 12S rRNA and cox1 genes and 98.00% homology in nad1 gene with (accession No. AB731762). The sequences of current isolate were deposited in GenBank by accession Nos. MF281971, MF281972 and MF281973 for 12 SrRNA, cox1 and nad1 genes, respectively. This study was the first report of molecular characterization of from Iran. Isolation and characterization of the adult stage from definitive host will help to better clarify incomplete life cycle and morphology data of this species in the world.

Cervical dilatation, uterine evacuation, and curettage (D&E&C) are common gynecological procedures for abortion, yet they carry risks of complications such as uterine perforation and intra-abdominal organ incarceration. Here, we report a rare case of a breastfeeding patient who had an embedded abdominal greater omentum in the anterior wall of the uterus and into the uterine cavity during D&E&C. We used combined hysteroscopic and laparoscopic treatment for this case and successfully removed the embedded greater omentum.

Purpose: To evaluate intravenous meropenem and intraperitoneal 10% aqueous extract of Schinus terebinthifolius (aroeira) in elderly rats after autogenous fecal peritonitis.
Methods: Thirty 18-month-old Wistar rats underwent peritonitis with 4 mL/kg of autogenous fecal solution. They were stratified into groups: control without treatment; study I, treated with meropenem (40 mg/kg); and study II, treated with meropenem at the same dose and intraperitoneal 10% aqueous extract of aroeira.
Introduction: Gastric leaks and gastrocutaneous fistulae (GCF) after digestive surgery are unusual in children. Common treatments are based on conservative measures and surgery but endoscopic techniques are not a widespread option in pediatrics.
Case Report: An underweight child developed a GCF after surgery (esophagocoloplasty with right colon).
Introduction: Giant omphalocele poses a conflict between eviscerated content and abdominal capacity, with associated risks such as compartment syndrome or cardiovascular compromise.
Clinical Case: We present the case of a prenatally diagnosed hepato-omphalocele, without associated abnormalities. At week 37, botulinum toxin was injected in the right hemiabdomen under fetal and maternal sedation.

Inflammatory bowel disease, particularly Crohn's disease (CD), has been linked to modifications in mesenteric adipose tissue (MAT) and the phenomenon known as "creeping fat" (CrF). The presence of CrF is believed to serve as a predictor for early clinical recurrence following surgical intervention in patients with CD. Notably, the incorporation of the mesentery during ileocolic resection for CD has been correlated with a decrease in surgical recurrence, indicating the significant role of MAT in the pathogenesis of CD.
