Pyloroduodenal duplication is the rarest alimentary tract duplication known so far. A 1-year-old female patient presented with abdominal pain, lump in the epigastrium and occasional vomiting. On ultrasound and CT scan of abdomen suspicion of duplication cyst was made. Operation revealed a duplication cyst along pylorus and first part of the duodenum. Excision of free part and mucosal stripping ...

abstract background: to compare pregnancy outcomes in women at risk for cervical incompetence after elective versus ultrasound- indicated cerclage. methods: in a prospective randomized tlial, singleton pregnancies with at least one previous spontaneous midtrimester loss or early preterm delivery (between 15 and 32 weeks' gestation) who met clinical crite1ia for the diagnosis of cervical in...

Colonic duplication is usually asymptomatic; however, when it is symptomatic, patients with this anomaly may present with bleeding, constipation, or manifestations of obstruction, perforation, or malignancy. We report the case of a sixteen-month-old boy who presented with diffuse ascites, and had complete colonic duplication and bladder duplication. Duplication of the colon associated with blad...

Background Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy (DMD) is a deadly X-linked recessive disorder. This genetic disorder affects 1 among 3,500-5,000 males in the world. The majority of the patients are male, due to the type of inheritance. It affects most of the skeletal, the respiratory, and cardiac muscles, causing these vital organs to contract and eventually mortality.<br...

Recent analysis of complete eukaryotic genome sequences has revealed that gene duplication has been rampant. Moreover, next to a continuous mode of gene duplication, in many eukaryotic organisms the complete genome has been duplicated in their evolutionary past. Such large-scale gene duplication events have been associated with important evolutionary transitions or major leaps in development an...

Complete duplication of the hindgut associated with duplication of the genitourinary tract and double termination is an extremely rare condition. The presence of complex duplications have fascinated most lay clinicians and parents. The present study describes a case of duplication of the hindgut associated with duplication of the genitourinary systems. A review of the literature revealed six re...
