The impact of vitamin D treatment on pregnancy rate among endometriosis patients: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

Background: Vitamin D supplementation is supposed to have an important role in the management of several endometriosis-related aspects, offering potential relief to affected individuals. Herein, the authors aim to evaluate the impact of vitamin D on pregnancy rates and clinical symptoms in women with endometriosis.

Methods: The authors extensively searched PubMed, Cochrane Library, EMBASE, Ovid MEDLINE, and CINAHL from their inception to 20 July 2023.

The level of medical students' knowledge regarding the prevention of cervical cancer.

Background: In Palestine, cervical cancer is the third most common gynaecological cancer, exhibiting higher mortality rates compared to regional counterparts. Late-stage diagnosis and limited awareness contribute to this disparity. This study aims to assess the awareness of Palestinian medical students regarding cervical cancer prevention.

Primary extraskeletal intradural Ewing sarcoma with acute hemorrhage: a case report and review of the literature.

Background: Spinal cord tumors present a challenge in diagnosis and treatment due to their varied histopathological characteristics. While Ewing sarcoma is a rare malignant tumor typically originating from skeletal bone, cases of primary intradural extraskeletal Ewing sarcoma are exceptionally rare. The similarity of its presentation to other spinal tumors further complicates its identification and management.

The clinical significance of laparoscopy in the differentiation of inclusion cysts from ovarian masses: A case report and literature review.

Introduction And Importance: Peritoneal inclusion cysts (PICs) are infrequently encountered cysts within the abdominal and pelvic regions, typically observed in perimenopausal women. They frequently pose a diagnostic challenge as they can be clinically misinterpreted as ovarian-related lesions, owing to their resembling clinical presentations and radiological features.

Case Presentation: A 30-year-old female patient without significant medical or surgical history sought medical attention for mild left lower abdominal discomfort lasting two days.

Rare clinical entity of huge leiomyoma uteri in a 17-year-old adolescent managed with a fertility-sparing procedure: Case report and literature review.

Introduction And Importance: The most frequent benign uterine tumor is uterine fibroids. Approximately, 20 to 30 % of women between the ages of 30 and 50 have them. Teenagers do, however, rarely experience them; the prevalence is less than 1 % in general population.

Rare diagnosis of coexistent antiphospholipid syndrome and systemic lupus erythematosus in a male patient with successful management: a case report.

Unlabelled: Antiphospholipid syndrome (APS) and systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) are two autoimmune disorders that can develop together or separately. Similarities in the pathogenesis have been discovered, including the production of autoantibodies that target subcellular antigens and shared elevated risk of cardiovascular morbidity, which may be caused by common pathologic pathways.

Case Presentation: A 28-year-old male, referred to our hospital for the assessment of chest pain.

Successful pregnancy-preserving laparoscopic adnexectomy for complicated ovarian torsion during late pregnancy: A case report and review of the literature.

Introduction And Importance: A rare disorder called ovarian torsion (OT) during pregnancy can harm both the mother and the fetus. Predisposing variables for the condition include enlarged ovaries, free mobility, and a long pedicle, despite the fact that its genesis is not entirely understood. When ovarian stimulation is used to treat infertility, the disease's incidence rises.

Rare case of horseshoe lung associated with scimitar syndrome in Palestine: a case report.

Unlabelled: The caudal and basal parts of the lungs are fused together in a rare congenital bronchopulmonary anomaly known as horseshoe lung. The majority of horseshoe lung cases are associated with scimitar syndrome. Most patients present with nonspecific symptoms.

Spontaneous infarction of breast fibroadenoma unrelated to any known risk factor: A case report.

Introduction And Importance: Fibroadenoma is one of the most common benign breast neoplasms, primarily affecting adolescents and young women. Infarction is uncommon in fibroadenomas, and when it occurs, it is usually associated with pregnancy or lactation, as well as FNA. We present a case of spontaneous infarction of breast fibroadenoma that was unrelated to the aforementioned risk factors and occurred outside of pregnancy and lactation.

Successful management of extensive stage four sacral pressure ulcer in a paraplegic patient: A case report.

Introduction And Importance: Pressure ulcers (known as pressure injuries) occur when a bony prominence, such as the sacrum, is subjected to prolonged pressure and can result in soft tissue injury. Continuous and attentive repositioning is necessary to prevent and cure pressure-induced wounds.

Case Presentation: A 49-year-old patient who presented to the hospital with a case of paraplegia post spinal injury due to Road Traffic Accident, with a huge infected sacral bed sore and complaints of generalized weakness and fever.

Unusual initial presentation of childhood acute lymphoblastic leukemia as massive ascites and pleural effusion in post-COVID-19 setting: a case report.

Unlabelled: Acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) in children typically presents with nonspecific manifestations such as fever, fatigue, lethargy, joint and bone pain, and bleeding diathesis. Ascites and pleural effusion as an initial presentation of ALL, although described, is exceedingly rare. However, this unusual initial presentation becomes much rarer in the post-coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) setting.

Large pineal parenchymal tumor of intermediate differentiation causing compression with resultant obstructive hydrocephalus: a case report.

Unlabelled: The epithalamus region contains the tiny, functionally endocrine pineal gland, which has the shape of a pinecone. Less than 1% of adult primary intracranial malignancies are pineal parenchymal tumors, which are incredibly uncommon brain tumors. A rare variety of pineal parenchymal tumors are those with intermediate differentiation.

Radiological diagnosis of median nerve lipoma: A case report from Palestine.

Lipomas are benign neoplasms that develop from adipocyte-rich adipose tissue. They affect up to 2% of the population and make up about 50% of all soft-tissue neoplasms. The most common locations for them to appear asymptomatically are the neck, upper back, proximal limbs, and chest.

Primary Extraskeletal Ewing sarcoma of the foot with extensive skeletal and pulmonary metastasis: A rare case report.

Introduction: First -degree cutaneous extraskeletal Ewing's sarcomas (ESs) are incredibly uncommon skin-specific tumors that often present as a single, tiny lesion that is restricted to the mid-to-deep dermis or involves the subcutis. ESs can be clinically and pathologically misdiagnosed because of their rarity and physical resemblance to other cutaneous cancers.

Case Presentation: A 47-year-old nonsmoking woman was admitted after being transferred from a nearby hospital to check her right foot pain that had been present for three months and was significantly numbing the same side.
