Review Case Reports
An adolescent with ileum herniation through foramen of winslow: A case report and literature review.
Herniation through foramen of Winslow is a relatively rare group of hernias characterized by protrusion of the abdominal contents into the lesser sac. To our knowledge, this is the youngest and the only reported case related to adolescents in the last five years. ⋯ Through the review of the literature, it is clear that herniation through foramen of Winslow (HFW) is a more challenging condition to diagnose preoperatively, which can be achieved with the help of complementary diagnostics especially CT. As a category of diseases with a very low postoperative recurrence rate, clinical experience tells us that only three-trocar laparoscopic surgery can successfully return HFW.

The genital system remains one of the most common sites of carcinogenesis in women. Advances in surgery, radiation treatment, and chemotherapy have increased their efficacy and many patients survive for many years after their initial diagnosis. The eye is a rare site of metastasis from gynecological cancer due to its distant location from the genitalia. ⋯ The mean disease-free interval was found at 25.7 months and mean survival time after the eye metastasis was 13.5 months. Refractory disease was identified as the most important risk factor associated with mortality. Because eye metastasis has such a dismal prognosis, all gynecologists who treat oncological patients should be highly suspicious for reported eye complaints.

Schistosomiasis is a neglected infectious tropical disease that is second in occurrence only to hookworm infection in sub-Saharan Africa. Presently, chemotherapy is the main method of control and treatment of this disease due to the absence of a vaccine. ⋯ A number of plant-derived compounds, including alkaloids, terpenes and phenolics, have displayed in vitro and in vivo efficacy against Schistosoma species. This review explores how the application of nanotechnology can improve the efficacy of these plant-derived schistosomicidal compounds through the use of nano-enabled drug delivery systems to improve bioavailability.

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.
