Introduction: Spontaneous rupture of HCC (srHCC) is a life-threatening sequela of HCC characterized by a high mortality. Liver resection (LR) is the ideal therapeutic strategy as it not only arrests hemorrhage but also remove the offending tumour. We sought to determine the impact of spontaneous rupture on the survival outcomes of patients after LR by performing a propensity score matched (PSM) analysis comparing patients who underwent LR for srHCC versus non-ruptured (nrHCC).
Methods: From 2000 to 2015, a total of 67 patients who underwent LR for srHCC which met the study criteria were included. 1:2 PSM was performed comparing 49 of 67 patients with srHCC with 98 nrHCC selected from a cohort of 724 patients who underwent LR during the study period.
Results: Median survival following LR for srHCC was 21.9 months, while 5-year overall survival (OS) and disease-free survival (DFS) was 43.1% and 19.4% respectively. After 1:2 PSM analysis, there was no significant difference between LR for srHCC (n = 49) versus nrHCC (n-98) in terms of OS [21.9 (interquartile range (IQR), 11.8-44.0 vs 27.4 (IQR, 6.9-57.8) months, HR 1.02, CI 0.63-1.66, p = 0.94], DFS [11.8 (IQR, 5.6-25.6) vs 13.77 (IQR,4.5-34.9) HR 0.74, CI 0.54-1.02, p = 0.06] and length of stay [8 (IQR, 7-11) vs 7 (IQR, 6-10) HR 0.93, CI 0.0.68-1.29), p = 0.68].
Conclusion: LR for clinically stable patients with srHCC provides survival and recurrence outcomes that are comparable to patients with nrHCC.

Report of a Rare Case of Acute Abdominal Pain Post-partum: Spontaneous Ureteral Rupture.

Radiology, West Suffolk NHS Foundation Trust, Bury St Edmunds, GBR.
Spontaneous ureteral rupture is a rare cause of acute abdominal pain, particularly unusual during pregnancy or the post-partum period. While pregnancy-related changes like ureteral compression and dilation may play a role, no definitive mechanisms have been established. Clinicians should suspect ureteric injury in post-partum patients with free pelvic fluid.

BACKGROUND Ureaplasma urealyticum (UU) is a common microorganism that has been associated with a variety of obstetric and neonatal complications, such as infertility, stillbirth, histologic chorioamnionitis, neonatal sepsis, respiratory infections, and central nervous system infections. However, it is rare for it to cause severe neonatal asphyxia. This rarity is the focus of our case report, which aims to highlight the potential severity of UU infections in newborns.

Primary hepatic carcinosarcoma (HCS) is an extremely rare malignant tumor with carcinomatous and sarcomatous elements. Few reported cases of HCS exist, especially with sufficient records to describe imaging and pathological features, making the diagnosis, treatment, and prognosis of HCS a significant challenge for physicians. Here, we report a case of HCS with spontaneous rupture as the initial symptom in a 77-year-old elderly male who was admitted with right upper abdominal pain for 8 days.

Neurofibromatosis is a genetic disorder arising de novo or with an autosomal dominant transmission that typically presents either at birth or in early childhood, manifesting through distinctive clinical features such as multiple café-au-lait spots, benign tumors in the skin, bone enlargement, and deformities. This literature review aims to resume the spectrum of maternal and fetal complications encountered in pregnant women with neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1). Thorough research was conducted on databases such as Web of Science, PubMed, Science Direct, Google Scholar, and Wiley Online Library.
