Sessile serrated adenomas (SSA) of the appendix and anaplastic carcinoma mural nodules arising in the mucinous ovarian tumors (MOT) are rare lesions. We report a case of SSA in the appendix coexisting with an anaplastic carcinoma mural nodule in MOT. No BRAC1/BRAC2 germline mutations were found in the peripheral blood sample. ⋯ In conclusion, we reported a case of SSA in the appendix coexisting with a mural nodule in MOT. We describe the morphological characteristics and molecular detection results in this case. There was no clear genetic evidence of a correlation between these two rare pathological types.

Obesity is an important public health issue with an increasing prevalence in Turkey as well as throughout the world. ⋯ Prevalence of obesity among women of reproductive age was high in the Adıyaman city center. Specific training should be planned, especially for women with low education levels, for fighting obesity.

The amniotic fluid index (AFI) is one of the parameters used to assess fetal well-being and predict perinatal outcomes. There is, however, a dearth of studies on the pregnancy outcomes of women with borderline AFI in Nigerian and African women. ⋯ Borderline AFI is associated with an increased risk of adverse pregnancy outcomes in low-risk Nigerian women.

Breast reduction is a common and safe procedure with predicted cosmetic outcomes. Many techniques have evolved over the recent decades. ⋯ In Saudi Arabia, inverted T resection patterns with superior or superomedial pedicle designs are the standard techniques used in breast reduction, with higher satisfaction rates and fewer complications. Surgical preferences were significantly different between surgeons based on their training and held fellowships.

The whole root canal disinfection is crucial in terms of long-term endodontic success. In this context, applying medicaments following effective irrigation activation procedures becomes an important point. ⋯ Medicament penetration depends on the type of medicament, activation procedures, and root canal level. The TAP may be preferred following the ultrasonic activation in terms of long term root canal treatment success.
