Bilateral femoral ectopic testes are exceptionally rare congenital anomalies in which the testes deviate from the normal path of descent and lodge within the femoral canal. Fewer than a handful of bilateral cases have been described in the literature. We report a child presenting with bilateral groin swellings initially suspected to be inguinal hernias. Clinical examination and ultrasonography confirmed bilateral femoral ectopic testes. Surgical exploration with orchidopexy resulted in…

Primary infertility in adult couples is most commonly attributed to ovulatory dysfunction, tubal pathology, or male factor abnormalities. Rarely, congenital Anorectal Malformations (ARMs) persisting into adulthood may create atypical urogenital contamination pathways, predisposing both partners to recurrent genital infections. We report an unusual case of a married couple presenting with recurrent Pelvic Inflammatory Disease (PID) in the female partner and chronic, treatment‑resistant…

Background: Psoriasis, a chronic inflammatory skin condition, is linked to an increased risk of cardiovascular diseases due to shared inflammatory pathways. However, the direct impact of psoriasis on cardiovascular risk factors remains underexplored. This study investigates the relationship between psoriasis and cardiovascular events, including Myocardial Infarction (MI), stroke, heart failure, arrhythmias, and thromboembolic diseases.

Methods: A…

Objectives: To synthesise emerging evidence that colorectal motility disorders, traditionally viewed as isolated hindgut conditions, may initiate a progressive, system‑wide sequence of gastrointestinal and extra‑intestinal dysfunction. This review proposes an “ascending cascade” model in which partial functional obstruction of the hindgut triggers upstream effects on the midgut, foregut, biliary‑pancreatic axis, and respiratory and ENT…

Background: Glenohumeral Internal Rotation Deficit (GIRD) in overhead athletes represents a significant concern in volleyball, yet most research focuses solely on range of motion improvements without assessing biomechanical adaptations or sport-specific performance outcomes.

Objective: This study evaluated the efficacy of a 12-week TheraBand-based throwing exercise program on glenohumeral rotational kinematics, scapular dyskinesis, and spiking…

Background: Glenohumeral Internal Rotation Deficit (GIRD) rehabilitation literature lacks comprehensive neuromuscular analysis explaining motor control mechanisms underlying elastic resistance training effectiveness. Current evidence emphasizes range of motion and pain outcomes without addressing rotator cuff and scapular stabilizer activation patterns or co-contraction dynamics essential to shoulder stability.

Objective: This randomized…

Background: Despite widespread clinical adoption of stretching interventions for Glenohumeral Internal Rotation Deficit (GIRD) management in overhead athletes, evidence supporting long term GIRD correction and recurrent injury prevention remains limited. Conversely, little empirical evidence exists characterizing how progressive resistance loading affects posterior shoulder tightness resolution, internal rotation deficit correction, and critically, tendon load tolerance…

Epidermolysis bullosa (EB) comprises a heterogeneous group of inherited mechanobullous disorders characterised by skin fragility and blister formation following minimal trauma [1–3]. We report a female neonate presenting with localised blistering on the dorsum of the right foot and over the heel, ultimately diagnosed with epidermolysis bullosa simplex (EBS). Early multidisciplinary involvement, meticulous wound care, and parental counselling were central to management [8, 9]. This case…

We describe a mother–infant dyad. The mother, a 16‑year‑old teenager, presented with a background of lifelong chronic constipation, recurrent abdominal discomforts, pain and distension, and malabsorption. The patient presented suddenly with progressive gait disturbance, and profound anemia. She was diagnosed with hypoganglionosis on full‑thickness biopsy and SCD on MRI. Her infant daughter presented at 7 months with acute ileocolic intussusception, requiring radiological reduction. Both…

Introduction: Von Hippel–Lindau (VHL) disease is an autosomal dominant genetic disorder predisposing to the development of benign and malignant tumors, notably pheochromocytomas, which are often bilateral and of early onset.

Objective: To describe the clinical, biological, radiological, and evolutionary characteristics of patients with bilateral pheochromocytomas associated with VHL disease and to compare our results with the literature…
