MALIGNANT MASQUERADE – PROXIMAL TO THE HILUM
Cholangiocarcinoma is an aggressive malignancy and a challenging
disease to treat, with available literature emphasizing on surgical resection, newer imaging modalities, adjuvant therapy, and palliative
therapy, but just establishing a tissue diagnosis itself is the most complex problem before treating such tumors especially in proximally
located hilar biliary stricture.

PANCREATICOPLEURAL FISTULA: REVISITING A RARE COMPLICATION
Pancreatic fistula is a rare complication of acute pancreatitis, chronic
pancreatitis and pancreatic trauma. It develops because of pancreatic
ductal disruption or rupture of a pseudocyst. Pancreatic ascites develops due to free secretion of pancreatic juice into peritoneal cavity . Its
challenging to diagnose this rare complication and even more challenging to treat it adequately . Left pleura is the most common location
for pancreatic fistula followed by right pleura and both pleural cavities.

Gut microbiota and Intestinal Immune systems -Immune control functions via short-chain fatty acids, Amino acid metabolites and Bile acids
Intestinal environments, including gut microbiota, are deeply involved
in the developments and control of intestinal immune systems. Gut
microbiota exerts various actions on immune cells through bacterial
cell components and metabolites produced by the bacteria.

Acute Kidney injury and COVID-19 infection
Coronavirus disease (COVID-19) is an infection that has been one of
the most frequently discussed medical as a socio-economic issues over
the past two years. Common risk factors for COVID-19 infection and
its severe course include age, race, male gender, chronic lung disease,
cardiovascular disease (CVD), diabetes mellitus (DM), immunode-
ficiency, kidney and liver disease, obesity/overweight, smoking and
polypharmacy.

To determine sensitivity of diffusion weighted imaging for diagnosis of hepatocellular car- cinoma, keeping the dynamic post contrast MRI as gold standard.
There is increasing incidence of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC)
worldwide, being the fifth commonest cancer and holds being the sec-
ond commonest reason of cancer death [1]. It is alarmingly on rise in
Pakistan [2, 3]. Multiple risk factors for HCC have been documented
worldwide, a few include alcohol, hepatitis B and C viral infection and
non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). With current disease load
it is crucial to accurately diagnose HCC at the early stage for reduc-
ing the morbidity and mortality. Early diagnosis is the rate limiting
step in the disease burden.

The using of biphasic calcium sulfate in two-stage treatment of odontogenic fibroma of the mandible – case report
Among the patients of the Oral Surgery Department, a significant per-
centage are people requiring treatment due to the diagnosis of odon-
togenic cysts in the jaw bones. Most of these cysts, of various etiolo-
gies, require surgical treatment. The most common lesions of various
origins include the germinal cyst, while the broadly understood root
cyst, as a chronic inflammatory pathological condition, may constitute
the highest percentage of recognizable lesions of this type in the jaw
bones. Statistically, it is over 60% of odontogenic cysts and over 50%
of bone cysts[1,2].

Dietary Mineral Imbalance among Primary School Children in Benghazi
Childhood is the entire blueprint of an individual's future life, evi-
dences show that experiences in early and middle childhood are
extremely important for a child’s healthy development and lifelong
learning. How a child develops during this time affects future cog-
nitive, social, emotional, language, and physical development, which
in turn influences school readiness and later success in life 1-3

Chronic GI Bleeding as the Only Presenting Sign of AML in an Elderly Patient
While acute myeloid leukemia (AML) remains a common type of
leukemia in adults, it is a relatively rare cancer diagnosis overall, re-
sponsible for only one percent of adult cancer deaths in the United
States.1-3 AML stems from the malignant clonal expansion of undif-
ferentiated myeloid precursor cells, resulting in ineffective hematopoi-
esis and bone marrow failure.1,2 The production of malfunctioning
white blood cells can cause cytopenia’s, creating downstream symp-
toms related to anemia and thrombocytopenia.1-4 However, a handful
of individuals may be asymptomatic upon diagnosis with isolated lab
abnormalities.

SPONTANEOUS REGRESSION OF ELTROMBOPAG INDUCED BONE MARROW FIBROSIS, IN A PATIENT WITH CHRONIC IMMUNE THROMBOCYTOPENIA
Immune thrombocytopenia (ITP) is an autoimmune bleeding disor-
der that lessens the production of platelets. ITP is a syndrome char-
acterized by: (i) thrombocytopenia (platelet count less than 100,000/
mm3); (ii) shortened platelet survival; (iii) presence of antiplatelet an-
tibody in the plasma; (iv) normal or increased megakaryocytes in the
bone marrow [1]. Patients are over 60 years of age with no predilection
for sex and the chronic form being the most common.

Postpartum Depression: A Comprehensive Review
Postpartum depression is a form of depression, a mental illness, dis-
covered to be common lately in birth mothers affecting roughly 15%
to a minimum of 10%. Such a period is very critical due to its nature
and effect on Mother-baby bonding and Child’s long-term Devel-
opment. However, following depressions are found to be very inad-
equately diagnosed and nursed. According to the survey carried out
in this regard revealed that halves of such conditions are unidentified
by concerned Practitioners or medical Professionals in-charge and
revealed that most of the diagnosed mothers, do not follow recom-
mended treatment accordingly.
