Adult B-cell acute lymphocytic leukemia associated with osteolysis, but normal hematologic parameters – Rare case or related to treatment with mifepristone
Jerome H Check, MD, Phd*
Though the presence of bone pain is common in children with Acute Lymphocytic Leukemia (ALL), it is uncommon in adults. A case is presented where CT-scan to evaluate back pain led to a biopsy and diagnosis of ALL. Though 95% of the marrow was replaced by lymphoblasts, perhaps this early diagnosis was the reason why all blood hematologic parameters were completely normal.

Carolina dos Santos Santinoni*; Gabriel Leonardo Magrin; Bernardo Born Passoni; Ariadne Cristiane Cabral da Cruz; Marco Aurélio Bianchini; Gláucia Santos Zimmermann; Cesar Augusto Magalhães Benfatti; Ricardo de Souza Magini
The medications used by these patients can cause side effects, manifestations in the oral cavity and interact with drugs used by the dentist, interfering with the dental treatment plan [1]. Antiretrovirals (ARVs) are used not only to treat the infection but also as a strategy to prevent it in various situations.

Muhammad Salman Malik; Abu Huraira; Abdul Rehman; Muhammad Abuzar Fahim; Abdullah Bin Aamer; Arsalan Khalid; Hira Ashiq; Muhammad Waqar Mazhar*
Among the leading causes of infection and mortality worldwide, purulent-destructive lung diseases continue to rank high. Impairment of this organ's barrier-filtration function, based on endothelial dysfunction, may be connected with the key to infection development in acute lung abscesses.

Bakhtawar Imtiaz; Muhammad Moosa Qureshi; Ifra Mehmood; Mesum Ali Khan; Muhammad Noman; Rizwan Abbas; Faisal Muzaffar; Muhammad Waqar Mazhar*
Our goal was to find out how comprehensive nursing care affected the children with diabetes's quality of life and inflammatory cytokine levels. Fifty-eight children with diabetes who were hospitalized to our hospital participated in a control study.
Unraveling hematological and coagulation pattern in malaria: A study from Kassala city, Eastern Sudan
Mohammed Mustafa Hassan; Bashir A Bashir*
Malaria continues to pose a significant public health concern in Eastern Sudan. This study assesses the hematological parameters and coagulation profile among malaria-infected patients in Kassala City. The disease, caused by Plasmodium parasites and transmitted through the bite of infected Anopheles mosquitoes, leads to significant morbidity and mortality.

Liu Xiao-Jun; Yi Xue-Ting; Shi Min; Zhang Jun; Su Jian-Dong*
To investigate the distinguishment of paraumbilical perforator of Deep Inferior Epigastric Artery (DIEA) between the diabetics and normal patients and estimate its anatomical district by color doppler ultrasound.
What can we learn from case reports?
Jitong Zhao*
Case reports are an important part of medical research, typically describing the unique diagnoses, treatment processes, and follow-up results of individual patients. They not only provide us with deep insights into diseases but also serve as significant resources for clinical practice, education, and research.
A rare presentation of extrapulmonary small cell cancer with bone involvement: Case report and insight into clinical management
Hiep Nguyen*; Rama Koya; Vinh Nguyen
Extrapulmonary Small Cell Carcinoma (EPSCC) is a rare and aggressive malignancy that shares histopathological features with small cell lung cancer but originates outside the lungs. Bone metastasis in EPSCC, especially involving the spine, pelvis, and ribs, is common and correlates with poor prognosis.

Igor Černi, MD, MS*
Lumbar or petit hernia is a rare condition, traditional open operative treatment with reparation of hernia opening and surrounding tissue is difficult, painful, and with uncertain outcome.
Two cases of "IRIS" with syphilis
Murugan Sankaranantham
Immune Reconstitution Syndrome (IRIS) in HIV management is not uncommon. It is a state of hyperinflammatory response that usually occurs in the first six months of treatment of HIV/AIDS patient, following HAART. Co-infection of syphilis in HIV disease is so common.
Beyond the surface- When anatomy goes awry: A deep dive into gastric anomalies- Insight from a unique case
Nayab Mustansar*; Col Tariq Saeed Siddiqui; Col Asma Asghar; Aaisha Shafiq; Atta Ur Rahman; Haider
We present the case of a 37-year-old female with gastric fullness and early satiety. Imaging revealed a metallic object in the stomach, leading to a Contrast-Enhanced CT scan (CECT) that demonstrated non-rotation of the gut, an annular pancreas, and a duodenal web, resulting in significant duodenal dilatation.
