Paraduodenal hernias account for ~53% of internal hernias due to embryological anomalies in intestinal rotation. While left paraduodenal hernias are the most common type, the anterior left variant is exceptionally rare. It involves herniation of the small intestine in front of the duodenum through a mesenteric defect. We present a case of a left anterior paraduodenal hernia diagnosed and surgically treated in our department, along with a discussion of its clinical and therapeutic aspects.

Background: Ovarian or adnexal torsions occur when an ovary rotates around one of the supporting ligaments, often the infundibulopelvic (IP) ligament. This rotation can cause the blood flow to the ovary to be hindered, and this decrease in perfusion can often present as adnexal pain, nausea, and vomiting. A significant risk factor for developing an ovarian torsion is the presence of an ovarian mass, such as a cyst.

BACKGROUND Cardiomyopathy associated with thymoma is thought to be a cardiac manifestations of myasthenia gravis (MG). However, there are case reports of newly diagnosed thymoma presenting with cardiomyopathy without MG, and the mechanism remains unclear. The purpose of this report is to explore tachycardia-induced cardiomyopathy (TIC) as a potential mechanism for cardiomyopathy in thymoma without features of MG.

Aims: Sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitors (SGLT2i) improve cardiac performance and clinical outcomes in patients with heart failure, yet mechanisms underlying these beneficial effects remain incompletely understood. We sought to determine whether SGLT2i-induced improvements in cardiac function are dependent on increased cardiac oxidation of ketone bodies.
Methods And Results: We employed a mouse model with a cardiac-specific knock-out of the enzyme D-β-hydroxybutyrate dehydrogenase-1 (BDH1), rendering mice incapable of oxidizing the principal ketone body β-hydroxybutyrate in cardiomyocytes.

Objectives: Infarctions of the posterior limb of the internal capsule (plIC) typically cause contralateral motor deficits. Cases with pure agraphia, writing impairments alone, are rare. We present a case of agraphia as the sole symptom after a small infarction in the anterior portion of the left plIC, which facilitates understanding of the interplay between the subcortical and cortical networks controlling writing.
