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.

Review Case Reports
A case of diffuse alveolar hemorrhage after orthognathic surgery: Case report with the literature review'.
Diffuse alveolar hemorrhage (DAH) disease is a rare but acutely developing condition that may occur after general anesthesia, if not diagnosed and treated on time, could be life-threatening. Orthognathic surgeries, frequently performed for functional and esthetic correction, are generally composed of a young population in their twenties with no other disease. The aim of presenting this case report was to describe the etiology, diagnosis, and treatment of DAH to emphasize the importance of timely diagnosis.

Assessment of intravascular volume status is important in pediatric patients admitted to the emergency departments and pediatric intensive care units. Inferior vena cava (IVC) diameter and collapsibility index are used to evaluate the intravascular volume status in adults. The normal range of IVC diameter is available for adults and the normal range considered for adults is between 1.7 to 2.1 cm, but such normative data is limited for children of all ages. ⋯ We believe that our IVC and aorta diameter measurements obtained from a large number of participants may be used as reference values in emergency departments and intensive care units.

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.
