Background: Flat foot is related with modified foot biomechanics, where intrinsic foot muscle weakness and calf muscle tightness, particularly of the soleus muscle are deemed assisting factors. Understanding the relationship between these variables may and in better assessment and rehabilitation strategies for individuals with flatfoot.

Objective: To analyze the relationship between intrinsic foot muscle strength, soleus muscle tightness in…

Cancer is most commonly described as a molecular and genetic disorder driven by mutations that alter cell proliferation and survival. However, malignant transformation also represents an anatomical phenomenon characterized by progressive disruption of normal tissue architecture at cellular, histological, and organ levels. This brief review examines cancer from an anatomical perspective, emphasizing alterations in tissue organization, cellular morphology, stromal composition, vascular…

Multisystem presentations in adolescents often lead clinicians down fragmented diagnostic pathways. Chronic urticaria, multiple allergies, and micronutrient deficiencies are typically approached through immunological or nutritional frameworks, while gastrointestinal dysmotility is often siloed within gastroenterology. This case highlights the diagnostic complexity and systemic interplay between immune dysregulation, nutritional compromise, and colorectal motility disorder in a teenage girl…

As a major agricultural province, Hebei boasts abundant agricultural cultural heritage resources, currently housing 3 globally important agricultural cultural heritage sites and 5 nationally important ones in China. This paper conducts an in-depth analysis of the current operational status of the agricultural cultural heritage system in Hebei, identifying such issues as the absence and fragmentation of institutional content, impeded implementation mechanisms coupled with a lack of…

Objectives: To synthesise and critically examine the most urgent global challenges facing Emergency Medicine (EM), including system pressures, workforce vulnerabilities, climate‑related threats, conflict‑driven emergencies, infectious disease risks, inequities in access, and gaps in digital and research capacity. The review aims to identify cross‑cutting determinants and propose system‑level strategies to strengthen resilience and equity in emergency care…

Wilms Tumour (WT) is the most common renal malignancy of childhood, typically occurring sporadically. Familial WT accounts for fewer than 2% of cases and often involves germline predisposition syndromes. Metachronous WT in siblings - particularly when one sibling previously presented with bilateral synchronous disease - is exceptionally rare. We report a case of a child presenting with unilateral WT whose older sibling had been treated several years earlier for bilateral synchronous WT. This…

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…
