Objectives: To investigate and explore conceptual, diagnostic, and therapeutic intersections between Ayurveda, conventional medicine, biomedicine, and other modern health sciences in the understanding and management of Colorectal Motility Disorders (CMDs), including chronic constipation, slow‑transit constipation, Irritable Bowel Syndrome with Constipation (IBS‑C), and pelvic floor dyssynergia. To synthesizes Ayurvedic principles with modern health sciences to propose an…

Objectives: To synthesize current evidence on radiological imaging modalities used in the assessment of Hirschsprung’s disease (HD), its variants, pseudo-Hirschsprung’s conditions, and colorectal motility disorders, highlighting characteristic findings, diagnostic pathways, and interventional procedures.

Design: Narrative review of radiological techniques and their diagnostic utility in congenital and acquired colorectal dysmotility…

Ovarian collision tumors are rare entities where two histologically distinct neoplasms coexist in the same ovary without interaction, often mimicking malignancy. Fertility-sparing surgery is crucial in young women. We present a unique case of a 25-year-old woman with progressive abdominal distension. Imaging revealed a large complex mass. Laparoscopic fertility-preserving surgery uncovered a 30 cm serous cystadenoma and a 5-7 cm mature cystic teratoma in the right ovary, along with a 4x5 cm…

Background: Ovarian torsion (OT) is a rare but significant gynaecological emergency that requires prompt diagnosis and intervention to preserve ovarian function. It results from the twisting of the ovary and fallopian tube around the vascular pedicle, leading to ischemia and potential necrosis. In pediatric patients, OT is particularly challenging to diagnose due to its nonspecific clinical presentation, often mimicking other causes of acute abdominal…

Introduction: Central venous catheter thrombosis is a frequent complication in hemodialysis responsible for catheter dysfunction which most often requires its removal and the insertion of a new catheter.

Objective: To develop an effective preventive strategy for thrombosis of central venous hemodialysis catheters.

Material and Methods: We carried out a tri-centric prospective study concerning the prevention of…

Objectives: To synthesise the applied clinical anatomy of gastrointestinal vascular supply with emphasis on watershed zones, circumferential perfusion patterns, and mechanisms of vascular compromise. The review aims to provide surgeons and clinicians with a practical, anatomically grounded framework for understanding perfusion vulnerability, intraoperative decision-making, and the pathophysiology of ischemic injury.

Design: Narrative review…

Double diabetes refers to the coexistence, in the same patient, of immunological features of type 1 diabetes (T1D) and clinical and metabolic manifestations of type 2 diabetes (T2D), especially insulin resistance. This entity, still insufficiently recognized, poses diagnostic and therapeutic challenges, particularly in adults. We report a series of three cases of double diabetes in adult female patients, illustrating the clinical heterogeneity of this condition, and discuss the…

The global obesity epidemic, coupled with the alarming rise of insulin resistance and metabolic syndrome, poses a formidable challenge to public health. Interaction between the gut and the brain is essential for energy homeostasis. In obesity, this homeostasis is disrupt. While traditional views have focused on diet and exercise, a more nuanced understanding is emerging—one that connects our mental state, nervous system, hormonal balance, and immune function to the all-rounder par excellence…

Objectives: To synthesise current evidence on the role of probiotics in maintaining gut health, with a particular focus on their use during and after antibiotic therapy. This review aims to provide general and family medicine clinicians with a balanced, evidence‑based overview of probiotic efficacy, limitations, and practical considerations for patient care.

Design: Narrative review of contemporary literature, including mechanistic studies,…

Background: Prolonged digital device use among college students is increasingly associated with musculoskeletal discomfort, yet comprehensive studies examining ergonomic practices, multitasking behavior, and symptom prevalence remain limited in undergraduate populations.

Objective: This study examined the prevalence of musculoskeletal discomfort and associations with ergonomic practices and digital device multitasking in college…
