We aime to compare between Snodgrass and grafted Snodgrass repair in the outcome in distal penile hypospadias with urethral plate less than 8mm
Ovarian cancer is among the top five primary causes of cancer-related mortality in women. Most ovarian malignant tumours originate from epithelial cells The majority of patients typically have advanced-stage tumours at diagnosis. When complete surgery with no macroscopic visible disease is not feasible due to both the spread of the disease and the patient's general condition, neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NACT) of 3 cycles followed by interval cytoreductive surgery (ICS) or final cytoreductive surgery (FCS) after 6 cycles of NACT followed or not by adjuvant chemotherapy can be offered, with similar overall survival. In our centre, due to logistics, disease, or patient factors, many patients may receive more than 3 cycles of NACT before ICS. Therefore, this randomized controlled trial aims to evaluate the survival benefit of different timings of ICS after 3 or 6 cycles of NACT in patients not eligible for upfront cytoreductive surgery (UCS).
One of the most common injuries to the knee is an anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) sprain or tear due to trauma ACL damage is crippling and often requires repair with an arthroscopic method, which is an outpatient surgery. Nevertheless, patients experience severe postoperative pain on the first day after the ACL reconstruction.Efficient postsurgery pain management is an important part of patient recovery that is also crucial for their satisfaction.
The temporomandibular joint's (TMJ) articular disc, situated between the mandibular condyle's convexity and the articular tubercle's slope, is the most intricate synovial articulation in the human body. While the usual discal position as defined by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) places the posterior discal band at the 12 o'clock position atop the mandibular condyle's maximum convexity, this discal disposition is altered in over 30% of the population without any accompanying physical symptoms. This denotes that rather than correcting the anatomical disc position, the treatment for discal displacement would primarily focus on symptom relief.
In this study we will compare the effectiveness of quadratus lumborum block and rectus sheath block in postoperative pain management after paraumbilical hernia repair

Gall stones happen is the most prevalent pathology affecting the biliary system due to its Physiological function of concentration of bile having a prevalence of 10%-15% and an incidence of 1.4% per year in the adult population of developed countries (Halldestam et al,. 2009). Women are more commonly affected by gall stone disease as compared to men (Attili et al,. 1995). Multiple risk factors responsible for the Gall stone formation include modifiable factors such as lifestyle factors (reduced physical activity, rapid weight loss, fasting, and oral contraceptives (Di Ciaula et al,. 2013); dietary factors (high fat, high cholesterol, high refined carbohydrates, and low fiber ; metabolic syndrome (obesity, diabetes mellitus, dyslipidemia, and hyperinsulinemia (Cuevas et al., 2004). Among all the above mentioned risk factors, serum lipids are considered to be the most important risk factor involved in the pathogenesis of Gall stone disease (Celika et al,. 2015). Hyperlipidemia is generally characterized by high serum levels of total cholesterol, triglycerides, low density lipoproteins (LDL-C), and low levels of high-density lipoprotein (HDL-C). Some studies have showed a significant association of hyperlipidemia with gall stones especially hypertriglyceridemia and increased LDL-C levels (Rao et al,. 2012). Acute pancreatitis (AP) is an inflammatory condition of the pancreas that originates within the pancreatic acinar cells and causes pancreatic necrosis, systemic inflammatory response syndrome, and multiple organ failure (Crockett et al,. 2013). According to The revised Atlanta classification system from 2012 ,AP is diagnosed on the basis of two of three criteria-typically belt-like abdominal pain, an elevated serum lipase level three times above the normal threshold, and radiological imaging signs of pancreatitis (Parniczky et al,.2016). Severe hypertriglyceridemia is a well-known cause of AP. Recent studies have suggested that elevated serum triglyceride and low high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) levels are associated with persistent organ failure in acute pancreatitis (Peng et al,. 2015). With the change of people's diet structure and lifestyle, the incidence and mortality of hypertriglyceridemic AP are increasing year by year and has surpassed alcohol as the second leading cause of AP (Carr et al,. 2016). Chronic pancreatitis is a syndrome characterized by chronic progressive pancreatic inflammation, fibrosis, and scarring, resulting in damage to and loss of exocrine (acinar), endocrine (islet cells), and ductal cells(Majumder S,. 2016)
The aim of this study is to compare the postoperative analgesic effect of femoral triangle block (FTB) and adductor canal block (ACB)after arthroscopic anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction.

These tumors express hormone receptors. This means they have a lot of hormone receptors. Hormone receptor-negative tumors are estrogen receptor-negative (ER-negative) and progesterone receptor-negative (PR-negative). These tumors donot express hormone receptors. This means they have few or no hormone receptors. About 70% to 80% of newly diagnosed breast cancers are hormone receptor- .al., 2017) (Wang et positive
Liver cirrhosis is the clinical end stage of different entities of chronic liver disease when patients suffer from considerable mortality and morbidity, both of which are correlated positively with disease severity. Ascites are the most common complication, and around 60% of patients with compensated cirrhosis develop ascites within 10 years of disease onset (D'Amico et al., 2015). Spontaneous bacterial peritonitis (SBP) which is defined by acute infection of ascitic fluid, an abnormal accumulation of fluid in the abdomen without a distinct or identifiable source of infection, with ascitic fluid absolute neutrophil count >250 cells/mm³, whether or not there is culture growth. is a major cause of morbidity and mortality in cirrhotic patients with ascites. SBP is estimated to affect 10-30% of cirrhotic patients hospitalized with ascites, and mortality in this group approaches 30%. Many of these patients are asymptomatic, and it is therefore recommended that all patients with ascites undergo paracentesis at the time of admission to confirm the SBP status. Although SBP is less prevalent in an outpatient setting, it is reasonable to also evaluate the ascitic fluid of outpatients because of the high mortality associated with SBP Platelets are considered an important source of pro-thrombotic agents associated with inflammatory markers and play a role in the initiation and propagation of inflammatory diseases. Platelets with large sizes have many granules that can exert their hemostatic and proinflammatory actions with greater efficiency. For these reasons, the mean platelet volume (MPV) and platelet distribution width (PDW) may be considered indicators of platelet function and activation (Abdelmoez et al., 2016). MPV and PDW are routine tests that are a part of a complete blood count. An increase in MPV has been observed in chronic viral hepatitis because of an increase in the entry of newly produced platelets into circulation, which are larger in volume than the old platelets (Castellote et al., 2008; Suvak et al., 2013). Therefore, mean platelet volume and platelet distribution width measurement may be used in predicting spontaneous bacterial peritonitis (Gálvez-Martínez et al., 2015; Abdelmoez et al., 2017). The blood neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) is a crucial parameter for the balance of the inflammatory and immune systems, reflecting responses to systemic inflammation In patients with decompensated liver cirrhosis, NLR is a non-invasive marker that can be used to predict the occurrence of hospital infection (Cai et al., 2017), NLR is a predictor of SBP that can be utilized in combination with other markers. According to (Mousa et al., 2016), blood NLR > 2.89 had an 80.3% sensitivity and 88.9% specificity for diagnosing SBP, while blood NLR and CRP combined (cut-off 11.3 mg/dL) had a 95.1% sensitivity and 96.3% specificity (Mousa et al., 2016). Although single tests have shown some value in predicting SBP, their studies have been small and inconsistent. In order to predict SBP in patients with cirrhotic ascites, prediction scores in conjunction with clinical and laboratory indicators are therefore being developed recently (Dahiya et al., 2023; Wehmeyer et al., 2014). In summary, Infections are common in liver cirrhosis patients, and SBP is one of the most prevalent, with varying frequency but a significant fatality rate. One of the most crucial factors in treating this significant consequence of decompensated liver cirrhosis is early detection. Finding non-invasive, affordable, and simple-to-implement parameters related to SBP that have a predictive role is essential. However, need to be kept in mind these methods cannot completely replace paracentesis, more studies are needed to determine whether non-invasive methods are sufficiently accurate to identify the development of SBP in cirrhosis.
