Pancreatitis, in general, is a high-morbidity condition. Genetic conditions and anatomic variants are sometimes seen, especially in children, where biliary etiologies and alcohol are less common than in adults. The decision to intervene, the combined operative-endoscopic strategy, and the timing pose unique challenges. We report the case of a 10-year-old boy with PRSS1 mutation and pancreatic duct duplication, discussing the management and reviewing the recent reports in the Literature.

Glioblastoma (GB), IDH-wildtype (IDH-wt), is the most prevalent primary malignant brain neoplasm in adults. Despite adjuvant therapy, the prognosis for these tumors remains dismal, with a median survival of around 15-18 months. Although rare, extracranial metastases from GB are reported with increasing frequency, likely due to advancements in follow-up, treatments, and improved patient survival.

Introduction: Total splenectomy in children increases the risk of overwhelming post-splenectomy infection (OPSI). Laparoscopic subtotal splenectomy (LSS) is a technique to preserve splenic function while managing disease burden in pediatric hematologic disorders.
Materials And Surgical Technique: Three children aged 4 to 9 years with juvenile myelomonocytic leukemia (JMML) or hereditary spherocytosis underwent LSS.

Introduction: Anterior cervical discectomy and fusion (ACDF) is a common surgical procedure used to treat herniated discs, degenerative disc disease, and nerve root compression in the cervical spine. This systematic literature review aims to analyze the available literature on the incidence, risk factors, clinical considerations, and available therapies for spinal epidural hematoma (SEH) following ACDF.
Methods: A systematic search was conducted in PubMed, Google Scholar, and Embase from database inception to June 18, 2025, following the PRISMA guidelines.

Objectives: To systematically review evidence on the safety and effectiveness of contraceptive use among women with chronic kidney disease (CKD).
Study Design: We searched for articles in multiple databases from database inception through December 12, 2022, that assessed safety and effectiveness of contraceptive use among women with CKD; all study designs were included. We extracted data from included articles; for studies that were not case series or case reports, we assessed risk of bias and determined certainty of evidence for each outcome.

Post traumatic headache is a common condition that can be managed with pharmacologic interventions or analgesic procedures; however, most evidence is derived from patients with mild trauma, leaving a large gap with regard to patients with moderate or severe trauma who present complex pain. Botulinum toxin plays an increasingly important role in pain management. This neurotoxin acts on different receptors, ranging from TRPV1 (transient receptor potential vanilloid type 1) to CGRP (calcitonin gene-related peptide).
