Superior mesenteric vein thrombosis (SMVT) is a rare medical and surgical emergency. The majority of the patients present with non-specific signs and symptoms that include non-specific abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, or hematochezia, which leads to the disease being overlooked even in acute settings. We present a case of SMVT in a young female heterozygous for factor V Leiden with associated risk factors that lead to a timely diagnosis with good outcomes.

Introduction: Genital candidiasis is a common fungal infection primarily affecting women. It is caused by yeasts of the genus Candida, mainly Candida albicans. This infection can lead to symptoms such as itching, burning, vaginal discharge, and pain during sexual intercourse, thereby affecting the quality of life of patients. The study examines the prevalence of vaginal candidiasis among women consulting at the Mbangassina Hospital in Cameroon. It identifies as...

Background: Ameloblastoma is an odontogenic tumor that originates from epithelial cells. Despite its benign classification, it exhibits local aggressiveness and the potential for unlimited growth. The 2022 World Health Organization (WHO) classification identifies five distinct subtypes of ameloblastoma, each displaying varying biological behaviors. Plexiform ameloblastoma is a subtype of conventional ameloblastoma that is characterized by a unique histopathological appearance. U...

Background: Esophageal cancer is the eighth most common cancer and the sixth common cause of cancer deaths worldwide. p16 expression is associ-ated with a better prognosis in esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) in high risk regions. Methods: Formalin fixed paraffin embedded tissue blocks from 110 patients with a diagnosis of ESCC were tested for p16 immunohistochemistry. The analysis of the data was done using Stata version 17.0. The Chi square test and co...

Primary angiosarcoma of the thyroid gland is a rare histological subtype of thyroid malignancy. This tumor is destructive and locally aggressive with a high risk of recurrence. Metastatic disease is associated with a poor prognosis. To our knowledge, this case is the 8th reported and officially documented in Turkey. A 66-year-old female patient with a 30-year history of thyroid goiter presented at the clinic with swelling in the throat and shortness of breath for two months. Neck ultrasonography...

The rhabdoid tumor is a rare and aggressive tumor of pediatric population. Their grouping within a single entity is recent, following the discovery of a bi-allelic inactivation of the HSNF5/INI1 tumor suppressor gene in tumor cells. The present study aims to highlight the different epidemiological, clinical, histopathological, and immunohistochemical, and genetic features of extra-renal rhabdoid tumors in children. We present a case series of extra-renal rhabdoid tumor (ERRT), recorded at the De...

The effect of centimeter waves of non-thermal level on four types of bacteria has been studied. On E. coli strains, a sharp increase in survival during the first cycle of cell division was obtained. The mechanism of inhibition of pathogenic bacteria by a weak electromagnetic field is explained. The mechanism of stimulating the survival of bacteria associated with the activation of genes that reduces the number of dying bacteria is explained. The general form of the modified Ferhulst equat...

The epithelioid angiomyolipoma (EAML) is a variant of angiomyolipoma with predominant epithelioid component which has a potentially malignant behavior. We report a 40-year-old woman with the synchronous renal and hepatic epithelioid angiomyolipoma with preoperative papillary thyroid carcinoma. She had been operated to remove the tumors in her liver and kidney. The histopathological and immunohistochemical results of surgical specimens were concordant with epithelioid angiomyolipoma. Her thyroid ...

Objective: To analyze the BCL2 genetic as diagnostic marker among acute lymphoblastic leukemia in childhood Sudanese patients, to detect genetic polymorphism in BCL2 in childhood acute lymphoblastic leukemia patients using Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and DNA sequencing technique to confirm the harmfulness of the detected mutation using in silico analysis. Material and Methods: Venous blood was drained by means of clean venipuncture into a labeled 5 ml K-EDTA tubes. Subsequent mixing of blood...

Glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) is an enzyme in the pentose phosphate pathway (PPP) which reduces NADP to NADPH while oxidizing glucose-6-phosphate. NADPH subsequently acts as a reducing agent, allowing oxidized glutathione to be converted to reduced glutathione, which protects against oxidant damage. Objectives: This study aimed to assess G6PD activity in Sudanese diabetic patients and its relationship with hyperglycemia. Materials and Methods: This study was a case control study done ...
