Transperineal prostate biopsy is becoming a popular approach in the diagnosis of prostate cancer. Urethral bleeding and urinary retention are the most common complications. We report a case of intraperitoneal bleeding after transperineal prostate biopsy in a patient with history of focal therapy for prostate cancer. The patient presented with dizziness, abdominal pain, and tenderness a few hours after the procedure. A computed tomography (CT) scan showed intraperitoneal bleeding. He was managed conservatively without needing any interventions or blood transfusion. Intraperitoneal bleeding is a possible, rare, and unexpected complication after transperineal biopsy especially in smaller prostates with prior procedures and scarring.

Blunt abdominal trauma causing intraperitoneal injury and/or bleeding can be life-threatening, requiring immediate intervention. Diagnosing these cases can be challenging, especially when pre-existing conditions are involved. Low-grade appendiceal mucinous neoplasm (LAMN) is a rare tumor of the appendix that can lead to pseudomyxoma peritonei.

Objective: Aim: To determine the effect of cell therapy on the intensity of lipid peroxidation processes in the liver, kidneys and lungs of rats of different ages under conditions of experimental cranio-skeletal trauma (CST).
Patients And Methods: Materials and Methods: In the experiments, 129 white male Wistar line rats of different age groups were used: immature rats aged 100-120 days and weighing 90-110 g; mature rats aged 6-8 months and weighing 180-200 g; and old rats aged 19-23 months and weighing 300-320 g. In each age group, CST was modeled under thiopental sodium anesthesia.

Point-of-care abdominal ultrasound (US) has emerged as a powerful tool for clinicians and is becoming a routine bedside tool to rapidly diagnose, manage hemodynamics, monitor fluid status, and guide procedures in emergency and critical care. Extended focused assessment with sonography for trauma (eFAST), is commonly used to detect free intraperitoneal blood in the trauma setting and may also be an option in non-trauma patients. However, it has significant limitations for detecting gastrointestinal or retroperitoneal bleeding.
