This study aimed to estimate obesity and evaluate growth status among adults using multiple adiposity indices Body Mass Index (BMI), Waist-to-Hip Ratio (WHR), Waist-to-Height Ratio (WHtR), and Body Adiposity Index (BAI and to examine their association with socio-demographic and lifestyle factors.
Bile duct lesions can occur during laparoscopic cholecystectomy and must be identified early. Anatomical variations are particularly important, as they may not be diagnosed in patients presenting with cholecystitis requiring surgery.
We report a rare case of a 45-year-old female who underwent cholecystectomy and was found to have more than 90 gallstones within the gallbladder. Gallstones are common worldwide, but the presence of such a large number in a single patient is extremely unusual. This report highlights the importance of documenting rare surgical findings to enrich clinical literature.
Bezoars are a rare cause of intestinal obstruction and can be treated through several approaches. Invasive or surgical treatment approaches should not be initially considered as bezoars can be a relapsing pathology.

Biliary Tract Cancer (BTC) is a malignancy with an extremely poor prognosis. For patients with recurrent or metastatic BTC who have failed first-line chemotherapy, treatment options are limited. Although anti-PD-1/PD-L1 inhibitors have shown efficacy in various tumors.
This study presents three cases of parathyroid carcinoma treated at our institution between 2015 and 2022. All patients were female and exhibited symptoms such as asthenia, hyporexia, and vomiting, along with severe hypercalcemia (x̄ =16.5 mg/dL).
The number of women of reproductive age undergoing metabolic surgery is on the rise, resulting in an increase in pregnancies after restrictive weight loss surgery techniques such as Laparoscopic Adjustable Gastric Band (LAGB).
Lumbar hernias are a rare type of abdominal wall hernia accounting for less than 1.5% of all abdominal hernias. They occur through the superior (Grynfeltt-Lesshaft) or inferior (Petit’s) lumbar triangles. Due to their rarity and subtle clinical presentation, they are frequently misdiagnosed. Most documented cases occur in males, on the left side, and typically involve retroperitoneal
The Omphalo Mesenteric Duct is a nutritive conduit between yolk sac and gut of the developing fetus, which usually closes off spontaneously at about 5-9 weeks of gestation. Failure of OMD to obliterate completely is estimated to occur in only 1-4% of the population and may results in wide spectrum of OMD abnormalities like fibrotic band, umblical fistula, diverticulum or cyst.
