A 34-year-old nulligravida with schizophrenia presented after four months of progressive abdominal distension, culminating in severe respiratory compromise. An urgent transabdominal ultrasound was initially interpreted as massive ascites; however, its diagnostic accuracy was limited by the extreme abdominal distension and the patient's inability to change position due to respiratory distress. Further evaluation with CT of the thorax and abdomen revealed a 35 × 42 × 48.

Background And Aims: Endoscopic resection for submucosal tumors (SMTs) in the esophagus and cardia is challenging with hazards of adverse events and the exploration of its achieving textbook outcome (TO) was unknown. We aim to investigate the predictors of TO for giant SMTs with a long diameter ≥ 7 cm or a transverse diameter ≥ 3.5 cm.

Objective: To investigate the effect of deep margin elevation (DME) on the fracture resistance and fracture patterns of various indirect resin-based composite materials.
Materials And Methods: A total of 120 extracted maxillary premolars were prepared with standardized MOD onlay cavities extending 2 mm below the cementoenamel junction. Teeth were embedded in acrylic resin and randomly allocated into 10 groups (n = 12), including two controls (positive and negative) and two experimental groups with or without DME.

Background And Aims: Endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) enables resection of large (>2cm) colorectal lesions. Despite its proven benefits, ESD remains underutilized in many countries. We evaluated the quality and safety of colorectal ESD resections during the implementation of this technique in a Norwegian endoscopy centre.

Background Context: Total en bloc spondylectomy (TES) for lumbar tumors significantly impacts lower extremity motor function because of surgical stress on the lumbar nerve roots and psoas muscles.
Purpose: The aim of this study was to assess the strength of the major lower extremity muscles and walking function following lumbar TES using prospectively collected data and identify functional differences based on the levels of the resected vertebrae.
Study Design/setting: Retrospective study with prospectively collected data PATIENT SAMPLE: Data were collected from 34 patients who underwent single-level TES for lumbar spinal tumors at our institution between January 2010 and December 2021.
