    Pneumorachis, the presence of air within the spinal canal, is a rare clinical condition. This case report describes a patient with pneumorachis associated with septic shock due to mesenteric infarction.

    Mild Encephalopathy with Reversible Splenial lesion (MERS) is a clinical-radiological spectrum characterized by acute encephalopathy due to a reversible cause associated with a transient cytotoxic lesion affecting the splenium of the corpus callosum.

    A 46-year-old man with a history of mood disorder self-injured his left radial artery using a kitchen knife. Upon hospital arrival, his blood pressure was 61/36 mmHg, and he soon deteriorated into cardiac arrest. After 8 min of resuscitation, he regained spontaneous circulation and was admitted to the intensive care unit.

    A 55-year-old female with a history of chronic alcohol-related pancreatitis presented with abdominal pain and anorexia. Cross-sectional imaging revealed a homogenous large fluid collection located in the pancreatic head consistent with pseudocyst, which was followed with repeat imaging studies.

    Symmetric with the posterior portion of the vaginal, the Bartholin's glands are crucial to the female reproductive system. These two tiny glands are responsible for vaginal lubrication and mucus discharge.

    We examined 355 patients with acute spermatic cord cyst aged from 18 days to 1 year. All patients were divided into two groups according to the type of surgical treatment performed. The control group consisted of 160 children who were treated at the clinic from 1994 to 2007 and received traditional treatment.

    Optical coherence tomography is a technique used extensively in ophthalmology to diagnose several ocular diseases. It is being used in dermatology to diagnose skin conditions. We are developing a technique termed Vibrational Optical Coherence (VOCT) tomography to noninvasively image (OCT) and measure the physical properties of tissue components using Vibrational Analysis (VOCT)

    The operation is aimed to avoid a nonunion of the grafted bone flap and subtro chanter fracture that may occur in traditional vascularized fibular grafting, which are considered to be the most effective in the treatment of the Osteonecrosis of the Femoral Head (ONFH) for younger patients as well as to preserve mechanical supporting element of the fibula by making a vascularized fibular graft.

    This article focused on a young woman with normal immune competence and no previous history of varicella or herpes zoster who suffered Varicella-Zoster virus (VZV) encephalitis after Human Papilloma Virus (HPV) vaccination, and VZV was detected by cerebrospinal fluid gene sequencing.

    Acral hyperkeratosis that responds to zinc usually manifests as symmetrically distributed, long-lasting, well-defined hyperpigmented plaques over the acral areas of the body. It is a condition that causes thickening of the skin on the hands and feet.

    Magnesium alloys possess excellent biological and mechanical properties, making them attractive materials for biomedical applications. However, their high susceptibility to corrosion has limited their widespread use in clinical settings.

    Acute Epicardial Fat Necrosis (AEFN) is a rare but significant clinical entity characterized by inflammation and necrosis of the epicardial adipose tissue. Frequently mistaken for more common cardiac or pulmonary conditions, such as acute myocardial infarction or pleuritis, AEFN poses a diagnostic challenge due to its nonspecific symptoms.

    College students are the elite among young people and bear the responsibility for the future development of the nation and society, tasked with building a prosperous, democratic, civilized, and harmonious socialist country.

    Only two cases of external brain tamponade syndrome have been reported in the literature, both of them occurring after decompressive craniectomy. We report the first case to our knowledge of External Brain Tamponade (EBT) syndrome occurring after subgaleal drain removal in a patient with frontal fractures.

    Heterotopic Hepatic Tissue (HHT) is an uncommon medical condition that occurs due to failure of embryological liver development. It can be encountered anywhere in the body and mainly on the gallbladder. HHT are often clinically silent, however they can pose a risk of complications such as torsion, malignant transformation and compression effect over the adjacent structures.

   Intermittent hypoxia training has been proposed as a potent facilitator of hematological adaptability, especially with respect to red blood cell proliferation and hemoglobin concentration. However, the comprehensive physiological implications of intermittent hypoxia training, as compared to normoxia training and intermittent hypoxia exposure, remain incompletely understood.

   We present a case of a 51-year-old male with urachal adenocarcinoma, a rare bladder cancer. Initial symptoms included gross hematuria. CT and MRI identified a 3.5 x 2.4 x 2.1 cm mass at the bladder dome.

   Ewing Sarcoma, is a highly aggressive malignancy, extremally rare in the nasal and paranasal sinuses. The treatment landscape for Sinonasal Ewing Sarcoma (SNES), is predicated on a multimodal approach encompassing surgery, chemotherapy, and radiotherapy.

    The "Entire Papilla Preservation (EPP)" technique has been proposed to treat isolated deep intrabony defects with periodontal regeneration. The general idea behind this concept is to preserve the integrity of the papilla associated with the defect by providing a tunnel-like incision.

    Metabolic Skeletal Superscan (MSSS) is a well-known finding on 99mTc-MDP bone scan, characterized by symmetric, uniform increased radiotracer uptake by bones with diminished renal and soft tissue uptake due to elevated osteoblastic activity. Unlike metastatic superscan, metabolic superscan is seen in metabolic bone disease.

    Small bowel obstructions are one of the most common diagnoses resulting in surgical consult and admission. An internal hernia is defined as the protrusion of abdominal viscera, most commonly small bowel loops, through a peritoneal or mesenteric aperture into a compartment in the abdominal and pelvic cavity [1].

    Enterobius vermicularis is a parasitic roundworm belonging to the phylum Nematoda. It is the most prevalent human helminth. The most common symptoms are perianal irritation and itching. After the gastrointestinal tract, Enterobius Vermicularis primarily affects the female genital tract.

    This report provides a detailed analysis of mental healthcare systems in the six Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) governments, comparing them to five developed countries. The study investigates the definitions, laws, regulations, measures, and insurance provisions related to mental health in order to identify deficiencies and obstacles in the mental healthcare system of the GCC.

    Pericardial Tamponade (PT) that develops early after cardiac surgery presents significant diagnostic challenges, is frequently overlooked, and is often identified only in its later stages, differing from PT seen with other medical conditions. While no definitive agreement exists, the literature distinguishes between early (<72 hours) and late (>72 hours).

    Surgery often requires the placement of foreign material inside the body. Many systems and safeguards are applied in the Operating Room (OR) to ensure that no material is left behind unintentionally after closure of the incision, but none is fool-proof. We describe a case of a retained foreign body mimicking sarcoma.

    A 27-year-old male with a long-standing history of chronic otitis media developed a right temporal cerebral abscess. He underwent a mastoidectomy and was treated with intravenous antibiotics, including metronidazole. The patient's clinical condition showed signs of improvement.

    A 20-year-old man presented diaphyseal fractures of the right femur, tibia, and fibula following an accident. The emergency services transported him to the nearest hospital where he underwent immobilization with a splint. Subsequently, he was referred to our center 7 hours after the accident, presenting agitation and loss of consciousness at 10 hours post-admission.
