Liposuction is a widely performed aesthetic plastic surgery procedure used for various purposes. The use of advanced liposuction techniques has reduced the risk of complications. Nevertheless, they can still occur unexpectedly. Herein, we report a rare case of a 44-year-old patient who experienced a broken cannula tip lodged in her neck during cervicofacial liposuction. This case highlights the need for vigilance in preventing such complications through rigorous preoperative equipment inspections and proper instrument maintenance. Additionally, when attempting to remove a broken instrument tip, it is crucial to perform imaging examinations both before and during the procedure to precisely locate and extract the fragments, ensuring patient safety and a successful outcome.

Introduction: Laser refractive surgeries are a safe option for low-to-moderate refractive corrections, providing excellent visual outcomes. Over the years, various procedures have been introduced into clinical practice, but the most performed today remain Photorefractive Keratectomy (PRK), Laser Keratomileusis (LASIK), and Small Incision Lenticule Extraction (SMILE). Although laser refractive treatments are considered safe, clinicians have focused on the risk of post-surgical ectasia, a rare but serious complication.

Objective: Pancreaticoduodenectomy (PD) is a major surgical intervention that encompasses the resection of multiple organs and the reconstruction of the digestive tract, with reconstructive procedures including pancreatico-enteric, bilioenteric, and gastroenteric anastomoses. Prior research has documented a high incidence of long-term complications following PD, which significantly impact patient prognosis and survival, however, the underlying mechanisms remain elusive. Evidence from previous studies suggests that biliary-intestinal anastomosis modifies biliary tract anatomy, altering bile flow into the gut and potentially affecting the gut microbiota and its metabolites.

Background: Digital Health Records (DHR) have become essential for managing patient data, including radiology and nuclear medicine reports. The wider adoption of DHR globally presents an opportunity to improve patient engagement and empowerment through effective access and sharing of imaging investigations. This review aims to synthesize literature on views, experiences, expectations, and preferences of oncology patients and healthcare professionals (HCP) when accessing imaging via DHR.

Autism and ADHD shape behaviours related to food, exercise, and body image, potentially influencing obesity treatment outcomes, as seen in eating disorder research. Resultantly, autistic and ADHD patients with obesity may have distinct experiences and differences compared to non-autistic and non-ADHD patients. This review maps existing literature on autism and ADHD in adults with obesity.
