Embryo implantation in the region of a previous caesarean section scar is a rare but potentially catastrophic complication of a previous cesarean birth.
Recurrence of endometriosis is fairly common; some studies suggest the rate of recurrence to be as high as 40%. Most common cause of recurrence is incomplete resection in primary surgery and microscopic foci which escapes detection.
Endometriosis occurs when the endometrial tissue that normally lines the uterus grows in other parts of the pelvis, such as ovaries or fallopian tubes. There are different types of endometriosis based on where the tissue is located.
Bladder endometriosis is a rare form of the disease. It occurs when endometrial tissue grows inside or on the surface of the bladder.
Endometriosis is known to have a remarkably negative effect on the Quality of Life of the women. Surgery is considered when medical therapy is unsuccessful or in the setting of infertility. A high recurrence rate is reported in advanced stages of endometriosis. Thus, Complete excision and prevention of recurrence is particularly important.

A case report of cervical ectopic pregnancy misdiagnosed as cervical miscarriageApollo Hospitals
Cervical pregnancy is a rare variety of ectopic gestation. The aetiology is obscure. Diagnosis may be difficult unless the clinician/the radiologist is conscious of the entity. The evaluation of first trimester vaginal bleeding or pelvic pain is an important task for the emergency physician. The early identification of an ectopic pregnancy can help prevent significant morbidity and mortality for patients seeking emergency care. We present the case of a patient found to have a cervical ectopic pregnancy.

In this manuscript we show the successful laparoscopical treatment of a ruptured cornual ectopic pregnancy. In many settings this condition is treated by open approach due to the advanced skills required to control bleeding. This is a case report with the aim of showing images of the procedure, how to easily prevent bleeding and the management of it.
Abstract
This case report describes the diagnosis and management of a large mesenteric cyst in a 55 year old lady who presented with abdominal distension & with mass in the left upper quadrant. Mesenteric cysts are rare, benign, abdominal tumors to which <1000 cases have been reported in the literature. While 40% of cases are incidental findings found either through physical examination or imaging, they can cause non-specific abdominal symptoms including pain, altered bowel habits, nausea/vomiting or anorexia. Less commonly, 10% of cases can present with bowel obstruction, volvulus, torsion or shock. In general, the lack of characteristic clinical and radiological features presents as a diagnostic difficulty.
The mainstay in imaging is computerized tomography (CT). CT identifies and helps aid the decision to pursue a laparoscopic or open laparotomy approach, where complete surgical resection is the ultimate goal. In our patient a CT Abdomen & Pelvis showed a large, loculated cystic mass measuring 30cm in cranio-caudal length and 16cm in the transverse and anterior/posterior diameter. While different approaches have been described in the literature to surgically resect such cysts, our approach was largely reflective of size and adherence to surrounding structures in this case. A laparotomy was performed using an upper mid-line 7 cm incision; 4500cc of fluid was aspirated from the cyst which was found to originate from the small bowel mesentery. A complete resection of the multi-loculated cystic sac was done that included the resection of the middle mesenteric vein. The post-operative period was uneventful. The patient was discharged on post-operative day 2. The Histopathology identified the mass as a multi-loculated peritoneal inclusion-type cyst.
Vesicouterine Fistula Following Cesarean Delivery – Ultrasound Diagnosis and ...Michelle Fynes
Vesicouterine fistulae are uncommon, with most units reporting 1–5 cases over 5–15 year periods. To date there has been a paucity of case reports regarding this problem and only a few case series. In this report we outline the presentation and management of a vesicouterine fistula complicating a repeat Cesarean delivery, specifically describing the role of transvaginal ultrasound.
Endometriosis is a disease restricted usually to the female genital tract. Involvement of the bowel by this disease can lead to a diagnostic dilemma due to the great variation in the symptomatology. Awareness of the pathophysiology, clinical features and diagnostic modalities is of utmost importance to decide the modality of treatment. Hormonal manipulation and surgical resection are the two modalities of treatment. The choice depends upon critical analysis of clinical and radiological findings and the desire to have pregnancy in cases associated with infertility.

New Directions in Targeted Therapeutic Approaches for Older Adults With Mantl...i3 Health
i3 Health is pleased to make the speaker slides from this activity available for use as a non-accredited self-study or teaching resource.
This slide deck presented by Dr. Kami Maddocks, Professor-Clinical in the Division of Hematology and
Associate Division Director for Ambulatory Operations
The Ohio State University Comprehensive Cancer Center, will provide insight into new directions in targeted therapeutic approaches for older adults with mantle cell lymphoma.
STATEMENT OF NEED
Mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) is a rare, aggressive B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) accounting for 5% to 7% of all lymphomas. Its prognosis ranges from indolent disease that does not require treatment for years to very aggressive disease, which is associated with poor survival (Silkenstedt et al, 2021). Typically, MCL is diagnosed at advanced stage and in older patients who cannot tolerate intensive therapy (NCCN, 2022). Although recent advances have slightly increased remission rates, recurrence and relapse remain very common, leading to a median overall survival between 3 and 6 years (LLS, 2021). Though there are several effective options, progress is still needed towards establishing an accepted frontline approach for MCL (Castellino et al, 2022). Treatment selection and management of MCL are complicated by the heterogeneity of prognosis, advanced age and comorbidities of patients, and lack of an established standard approach for treatment, making it vital that clinicians be familiar with the latest research and advances in this area. In this activity chaired by Michael Wang, MD, Professor in the Department of Lymphoma & Myeloma at MD Anderson Cancer Center, expert faculty will discuss prognostic factors informing treatment, the promising results of recent trials in new therapeutic approaches, and the implications of treatment resistance in therapeutic selection for MCL.
Target Audience
Hematology/oncology fellows, attending faculty, and other health care professionals involved in the treatment of patients with mantle cell lymphoma (MCL).
Learning Objectives
1.) Identify clinical and biological prognostic factors that can guide treatment decision making for older adults with MCL
2.) Evaluate emerging data on targeted therapeutic approaches for treatment-naive and relapsed/refractory MCL and their applicability to older adults
3.) Assess mechanisms of resistance to targeted therapies for MCL and their implications for treatment selection

Flu Vaccine Alert in Bangalore Karnatakaaddon Scans
As flu season approaches, health officials in Bangalore, Karnataka, are urging residents to get their flu vaccinations. The seasonal flu, while common, can lead to severe health complications, particularly for vulnerable populations such as young children, the elderly, and those with underlying health conditions.
Dr. Vidisha Kumari, a leading epidemiologist in Bangalore, emphasizes the importance of getting vaccinated. "The flu vaccine is our best defense against the influenza virus. It not only protects individuals but also helps prevent the spread of the virus in our communities," he says.
This year, the flu season is expected to coincide with a potential increase in other respiratory illnesses. The Karnataka Health Department has launched an awareness campaign highlighting the significance of flu vaccinations. They have set up multiple vaccination centers across Bangalore, making it convenient for residents to receive their shots.
To encourage widespread vaccination, the government is also collaborating with local schools, workplaces, and community centers to facilitate vaccination drives. Special attention is being given to ensuring that the vaccine is accessible to all, including marginalized communities who may have limited access to healthcare.
Residents are reminded that the flu vaccine is safe and effective. Common side effects are mild and may include soreness at the injection site, mild fever, or muscle aches. These side effects are generally short-lived and far less severe than the flu itself.
Healthcare providers are also stressing the importance of continuing COVID-19 precautions. Wearing masks, practicing good hand hygiene, and maintaining social distancing are still crucial, especially in crowded places.
Protect yourself and your loved ones by getting vaccinated. Together, we can help keep Bangalore healthy and safe this flu season. For more information on vaccination centers and schedules, residents can visit the Karnataka Health Department’s official website or follow their social media pages.
Stay informed, stay safe, and get your flu shot today!

RESULTS: Overall life span (LS) was 2252.1±1742.5 days and cumulative 5-year survival (5YS) reached 73.2%, 10 years – 64.8%, 20 years – 42.5%. 513 LCP lived more than 5 years (LS=3124.6±1525.6 days), 148 LCP – more than 10 years (LS=5054.4±1504.1 days).199 LCP died because of LC (LS=562.7±374.5 days). 5YS of LCP after bi/lobectomies was significantly superior in comparison with LCP after pneumonectomies (78.1% vs.63.7%, P=0.00001 by log-rank test). AT significantly improved 5YS (66.3% vs. 34.8%) (P=0.00000 by log-rank test) only for LCP with N1-2. Cox modeling displayed that 5YS of LCP significantly depended on: phase transition (PT) early-invasive LC in terms of synergetics, PT N0—N12, cell ratio factors (ratio between cancer cells- CC and blood cells subpopulations), G1-3, histology, glucose, AT, blood cell circuit, prothrombin index, heparin tolerance, recalcification time (P=0.000-0.038). Neural networks, genetic algorithm selection and bootstrap simulation revealed relationships between 5YS and PT early-invasive LC (rank=1), PT N0—N12 (rank=2), thrombocytes/CC (3), erythrocytes/CC (4), eosinophils/CC (5), healthy cells/CC (6), lymphocytes/CC (7), segmented neutrophils/CC (8), stick neutrophils/CC (9), monocytes/CC (10); leucocytes/CC (11). Correct prediction of 5YS was 100% by neural networks computing (area under ROC curve=1.0; error=0.0).
CONCLUSIONS: 5YS of LCP after radical procedures significantly depended on: 1) PT early-invasive cancer; 2) PT N0--N12; 3) cell ratio factors; 4) blood cell circuit; 5) biochemical factors; 6) hemostasis system; 7) AT; 8) LC characteristics; 9) LC cell dynamics; 10) surgery type: lobectomy/pneumonectomy; 11) anthropometric data. Optimal diagnosis and treatment strategies for LC are: 1) screening and early detection of LC; 2) availability of experienced thoracic surgeons because of complexity of radical procedures; 3) aggressive en block surgery and adequate lymph node dissection for completeness; 4) precise prediction; 5) adjuvant chemoimmunoradiotherapy for LCP with unfavorable prognosis.

the adverse effects. The device is classified as open when it has
got no circumscribed aperture of more than 5mm so that a loop[
of intestine or omentum cannot enter and become strangulated
if accidentally the device perforates through the uterus into the
peritoneal cavity. Eg: Lippes loop, CuT, Multiload and progestasert.
If closed devices like Grafenberg ring and Birnberg bow,
accidentally enter the abdominal cavity, and they have the potential
of causing strangulation of the gut and hence they are obsolete.
Complete extrusion of the device through the myometrium may
be aided by spontaneous uterine contraction and hydrostatic
negative pressure differences between the low intraperitoneal
pressure and relatively high intrauterine pressure. The migration
is also aided by the contraction of the abdominal viscera like
urinary bladder and intestines. Another possible mechanism is
by movement of peritoneal fluid [4]. In the present case it seems
that the IUCD has perforated the uterus at the time of its initial
insertion and the patient has been in lactational amenorrhoea
which is a risk factor for IUCD perforation due to small uterus.
Perforation is often suspected or diagnosed when the IUCD string is
no longer visible at the external os. Risk factors are use in nullipara,
postpartum or postabortal insertion, faulty technique of insertion
and irregular follow up [5]. Pelvic complications are in the form of
dysmenorrhoea, pelvic inflammatory device, septic abortion and
hydrosalphinx. Perforation and migration of the IUCD is one of the
most rare and dreadful complication [6]. Regular self examination,
investigation of persistent pain or disappearance of strings may
detect migration early [7].
Conclusion
Copper containing devices have been shown to cause
considerable tissue response incited with their presence [8],
translocation to the peritoneal cavity may provoke peritoneal or
omental adhesions, volvulus, uterocutaneous fistula and bowel
perforation which involve significant morbidity. The treatment
of migrated IUCD is either laparoscopy or laparotomy. A regular
followup for detection of misplacement of IUCD’s is stressed as
it can have unusual presentation. So this case report highlights
the importance of suspecting a foreign body with any abdominal
wall induration or even if asymptomatic, the need for vigilance
in misplaced IUCD. Plain xrays can pick up the diagnosis and
exclde migration or perforation so that further complications and
morbidity are prevented.USG and hysteroscopy are also useful
to locate and retrieve the IUCD. Shirodhkar hook or curette is
also used for removal. Laparoscopy has advantages over other
procedures in locating the IUCD and full lesion assessment.
Detection of asymptomatic migrated IUCD necessitates retrieval
in order to discourage psychosomatic symptomatology commonly
associated with forgotten devices and prevention of future grave
complications.

The patient described in the paper has given their informed
consent for the case report to be published.
