A case of complete inversion of the uterus through the uterine incision at the time of Caesarean section is presented. The possible aetiological factors were a short cord and fundal insertion of the placenta. Disappearance of the lower segment incision and the raw appearance of the endometrial surface of a completely inverted uterus posed a diagnostic dilemma. Prompt understanding and immediate repositioning by a simple technique prevented any further complications. This rare complication of Caesarean section and its easy principles of management are described for the benefit of an unwary obstetrician.

Introduction: Giant omphalocele poses a conflict between eviscerated content and abdominal capacity, with associated risks such as compartment syndrome or cardiovascular compromise.
Clinical Case: We present the case of a prenatally diagnosed hepato-omphalocele, without associated abnormalities. At week 37, botulinum toxin was injected in the right hemiabdomen under fetal and maternal sedation.

Glioblastoma remains the most common and lethal primary malignant brain tumour, with high rates of recurrence and progression despite gross-total resection of the contrast-enhancing region based on T1-weighted MRI. There has been growing interest in exploring "supramaximal" resections that extend beyond contrast-enhancing borders, with initial retrospective data suggesting survival benefit, but there is currently no consensus definition. In this systematic review, we explore the evolution of supramaximal resection in glioblastoma, dissect the incongruencies in the literature regarding its definition, qualitatively appraise each definition and discuss the results of various studies that have explored its impacts on patient outcomes.

Background And Objectives: Transient neurological deficits (TNDs) in patients with chronic subdural hematoma (CSDH), such as fluctuating aphasia, hemiparesis, or sensory disturbances, present diagnostic and treatment challenges as their pathophysiology remains unclear. The aim of this study was to investigate the association between specific MRI findings and TNDs in patients with CSDH and explored their relationship through intraoperative observation.
Methods: We retrospectively evaluated 72 patients with CSDH who underwent preoperative MRI among 251 CSDH patients treated from January 2020 to December 2023.

Objective: The optical absorption properties of biological tissues in photoacoustic tomography are typically quantified by inverting acoustic measurements. Conventional approaches to solving the inverse problem of forward optical models often involve iterative optimization. However, these methods are hindered by several challenges, including high computational demands, the need for regularization, and sensitivity to both the accuracy of the forward model and the completeness of the measurement data.

Atrial fibrillation (AF) catheter ablation is safe and effective, though rare cases of takotsubo syndrome (TTS) have been observed without proven causation. This review synthesizes TTS following AF ablation case reports and series. Until October 2024, PubMed/Medline, SCOPUS, and Google Scholar were searched for AF ablation and TTS case reports and series.
