Littré's hernia (LH) is a rare clinical entity defined by the presence of Meckel's diverticulum (MD) within a hernial sac. Although MD is the most common congenital abnormality of the intestinal tract, most of its cases remain asymptomatic. It may, however, manifest itself in the form of multiple complications. One of its rare complications is LH, which is reported occurring in a mere 1% of all MD cases. The anamneses of LH are like any other hernia containing the gut, making its preoperative diagnosis unlikely. We present herein a case of a 16-year-old boy with an incarcerated LH at the inguinal region, which was successfully treated by wedge resection of the diverticulum followed by hernia repair.

The effects of runs-of-homozygosity on pig domestication and breeding.
BMC Genomics

Background: Since their domestication, recent inbreeding together with intensive artificial selection and population bottlenecks have allowed the prevalence of deleterious mutations and the increase of runs-of-homozygosity (ROH) in domestic pigs. This makes pigs a good model to understand the genetic underpinnings of inbreeding depression.
Results: Here we integrated a comprehensive dataset comprising 7239 domesticated pigs and wild boars genotyped by single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) chips, along with phenotypic data encompassing growth, reproduction and disease-associated traits.
Eversion cruroplasty and collar overwrap: a novel hybrid approach for refractory gastroesophageal reflux disease in children, with assessment of mid-term outcomes.

Faculty of Medicine, Pediatric Surgery, Tanta University Hospital, Tanta, 31527, Egypt.
Background: Surgical fundoplication remains integral in managing gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) by addressing gastroesophageal valve incompetence. This study introduces a novel hybrid approach, the Eversion Cruroplasty and Collar Overwrap (ECCO) procedure, aiming to combine benefits of conventional partial wrapping and posteromedial cardiopexy, considering gastric fundus anatomical peculiarities as an anti-reflux barrier.
Methods: A retrospective analysis of pediatric patients presenting with refractory GERD from 2021 to 2023 was conducted.
Time-dependent diffusion MRI and kinetic heterogeneity as potential imaging biomarkers for diagnosing suspicious breast lesions with 3.0-T breast MRI.

Purpose: This study aimed to evaluate the diagnostic efficacy of time-dependent diffusion magnetic resonance imaging (td-dMRI) and dynamic contrast-enhanced MRI (DCE-MRI)-based kinetic heterogeneity in differentiating suspicious breast lesions (categorised as Breast Imaging Reporting and Data System 4 or 5).
Methods: This prospective study included 51 females with suspicious breast lesions who underwent preoperative breast MRI, including DCE-MRI and td-dMRI. Six kinetic parameters, namely peak, persistent, plateau, washout component, predominant curve type, and heterogeneity, were extracted from the DCE series using MATLAB and SPM software.
Benign, but Ominous, Pseudotumor in the Post-Sleeve Gastrectomy Hiatal Hernia: A Case Series.
J Comput Assist Tomogr
November 2024
Massachusetts General Hospital, Department of Radiology Division of Abdominal Imaging, Boston, MA.
We have incidentally observed a finding not yet described in the literature, on both cross-sectional imaging and fluoroscopy, to correlate with increased obstructive symptoms in our post sleeve gastrectomy patients. This case series aims to show postsurgical imaging cases with the common underlying finding of a pseudotumor associated with hiatal herniae and obstructive symptoms. Because this clinical presentation may, in some cases, warrant postsurgical revision, knowledge of the imaging findings and their potential clinical significance is useful to radiologists who interpret routine cross-sectional imaging examinations as well as fluoroscopic evaluations of these post sleeve gastrectomy patients.

January 2025
Department of Surgery, Baptist Health South Florida, Miami, FL, USA.
Background: Available reports of surgeon efficiency when transitioning from laparoscopic to robotic-assisted (RA) inguinal hernia repair (IHR) are retrospective or describe single-center experience. The purpose of this study is to provide a prospective, multi-surgeon, multi-center assessment of surgeon efficiency when transitioning from Lap-IHR to RA-IHR.
Methods: General surgeons with Lap-IHR experience (≥300 Lap-IHRs prior to the study) but with no robotic experience (no RA cases one year prior to the study) consented to participate in this prospective, observational pilot study of their surgical efficiency as they adopted RA-IHR.
