In modern era different types of electronic devices, such as smartwatches, have become very popular for the monitoring
of health, especially for people with heart conditions.
Arrhythmia symptoms are frequent complaints in patients with heart problems, often require a repeated electrocardiogram
(ECG) and Holter monitoring. Data regarding the clinical utility of wearable technologies are limited in that population. We
hypothesize, that an Apple Watch can capture life threatening arrhythmias in cases, when it has not been detected with
Holter monitor.

Willis polygon anomalies are rare variations in epilepsy. In this case, the right posterior communicating artery was agenesic and the anterior communicating
artery was very thin when the brain of a 22-month-old female infant was examined during a routine autopsy. In addition, the corpus callosum was
intermittently discontinuous, and the cerebral ventricles were dilated in the brain sections. This report presents the structural anatomical features of these
rare variations and their significance in forensic medicine.

Based on the findings, there is a significant relationship between static sitting and LBP. The more one sit for over than 90 minutes without body stretching, the
higher the chance for the particular individual to experience low back pain. It is also found out that there is no significant difference of LBP considering length
of experience. So one can experience LBP with a static sitting for more than 90 minutes even just work recently. And lastly, although there is no difference of
LBP among bus drivers considering smoking habit, it still but still it is a risk factor for having LBP together with other lifestyle factors. It is better to prevent than
to cure. So it is better to avoid any cigarette to prevent LBP occurrence.

Contrast-induced sialadenitis, often referred to as “iodide mumps,” is a rare but well-documented adverse reaction associated with the intravenous
administration of iodinated contrast media. Characterized by an acute, painless and transient swelling of the salivary glands most frequently the parotid
glands iodide mumps remains a benign condition that generally resolves spontaneously within a short period. Although the exact pathophysiology
is not fully understood, several hypotheses have been proposed, including hypersensitivity reactions, toxic glandular edema, or transient obstruction of
the glandular ducts. As the use of computed tomography (CT), angiography, and other imaging modalities requiring iodinated contrast continues to grow, it
becomes increasingly important for radiologists and clinicians to recognize this condition.

In this article we will discuss the shares and value of those who “drink” blood from another person. We will provide academic research into blood
matching by low oxygen level, and the need for regenerative bloods cells and bone marrow. The “blood transfusion by human contact” is seen as a nonclinical ATMP (Advanced Therapeutic Medicinal Product). The product of
extracting blood through a live specimen is a process the human-animal-human inbourne trait in the Neurobiology of the Species. The neuro-chemicals involved
in this process are serotonin, and dopamine in which the brain single cell signals the body that its low on oxygen and proteins in the hemoglobin with blood
cells, and bone marrow.

Simple hepatic cyst is a rare entity that usually presents asymptomatically. Its diagnosis is based on imaging studies. Surgery is indicated in symptomatic
patients or those with suspected malignancy. We present the case of a woman who underwent surgery for a symptomatic simple hepatic cyst, with an
intraoperative diagnosis compatible with an adrenal cyst, with a pathological anatomy result of a simple adrenal cyst. The case shows us the importance
of making an adequate differential diagnosis between simple hepatic cyst and simple adrenal cyst since they have similar clinical and radiological
characteristics.

Physical inactivity is related to chronic diseases and higher mortality. The WHO identifies sedentary behavior as a leading risk factor for chronic diseases,
such as cardiovascular disease, type 2 diabetes, and obesity (1). Individuals with a higher body mass index (BMI) experience challenge, including reduced
mobility and psychological barriers regarding engagement in physical activity (2). Overweight individuals often report lower motivation due to stigma, low selfconfidence, and previous unsuccessful weight loss attempts (3). Understanding
these barriers is important for addressing promotion of physical activity.

Psoriasis is a chronic, non-contagious, inflammatory skin disorder that is often characterized by the rapid multiplication of skin cells, leading to scaling and
itching. It is an autoimmune disease and can be localized or generalized. This paper focuses on a 17-year-old female patient suffering from chronic psoriasis
for 5–6 years presented with severe symptoms that hindered her daily life. She had visited 10-15 doctors with no lasting relief, until she sought treatment at
Dr. Batra's homeopathy. After homeopathic treatment, she experienced 90% improvement, both physically and emotionally.

Myxoma is the most prevalent primary cardiac neoplasm, accounting for 50% of benign heart tumors in adults (1). Elderly women are more predisposed
to the development of atrial myxomas, with a ratio of 3:1 between women and men, and left atrial myxomas are the most common (2,3). These left-sided
tumors predominantly originate in the interatrial septum, at the edges of the fossa ovalis, and can mimic diseases of the mitral valve, presenting a physical
examination similar to that observed particularly in valve stenosis (4,5).

Covid 19 is characterized by hyperresponsiveness of immune system and when disease progresses, systemic proinflammatory cytokines and biomarkers
are elevated and immune modulators have the potential to inhibit cytokines and to treat the cytokine storm. The cytokine dysregulation and influx of
inflammatory myeloid cells can lead acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), multiorgan dysfunction and death [1]. The macrophage activation
syndrome (MAS)-like pulmonary immunopathology and the direct endothelial damage leads to micro- and macrothrombotic episodes.

Primary teeth are the best space maintainers and hence they should be preserved and retained as long as possible. Pulpectomy of primary teeth is indicated when
there is inflammation of the pulpal tissue. The procedure consists of extirpation
of the pulp tissue, filing of the canals to remove organic debris and obturating
with an antibacterial, resorbable paste. Over the years, different materials and
methods have evolved for obturation.

Stroke has been stated as the other leading cause of death and ranked as the third leading source of disability. The WHO explained stroke as
“rapidly developed clinical signs of focal disturbance of cerebral function, lasting further than 24 hours or leading to death, with no apparent cause other than
of vascular origin.” To treat stroke the intravenous thrombolytic program was found to be effective. Orthotics can be used to treat cases with CNS conditions
that are custom-made and prefabricated with variable cost.

Congenital peribronchial myofibroblastic tumor (CPMT) is a benign mesenchymal tumor. Due to its rarity and imaging and histologic similarities
with other fetal and neonatal lung lesions, it may be misdiagnosed as a congenital lung malformation or malignant pulmonary neoplasm. CPMT
has been previously reported under a variety of different names including pulmonary hamartoma, bronchopulmonary fibrosarcoma, bronchopulmonary
leiomyosarcoma, congenital fibroleiomyosarcoma and congenital mesenchymal adenomatoid malformation [1, 2].

Malaria is an infectious disease transmitted by Plasmodium parasites through the bites of female Anopheles mosquitoes. Indonesia remains an endemic
region for malaria, particularly in the eastern areas. Plasmodium vivax parasite infections are prevalent across the Indonesian archipelago, often leading to
malaria relapse. While microscopic examination remains the gold standard for detecting malaria infection, it necessitates skilled personnel. The detection
of malaria by peripheral smear examination is tedious and requires qualified staff. The diagnosis of malaria with flow cytometry-based hematology analyzer
scattergrams can become a vital diagnostic method and could help detect cases earlier, especially where there is no clinical suspicion.

Patients often present to physicians complaining of swellings in their neck. Salivary gland especially parotid gland tumors are important cause of neck
swelling in adults. Although most of these are benign, however, in smokers and elderly, this may be the initial presentation of a life-threatening disease.¹
Warthin’s tumor also known as papillary cystadenoma lymphomatosum accounts for around 10-15% of all parotid gland tumors. Warthin’s tumor is
benign and very slow growing with low risk of malignant transformation.

Tuberculosis remains a major public health concern in Morocco, with a high prevalence of extrapulmonary forms, particularly laryngeal tuberculosis among
cervical localizations. Laryngeal involvement is often secondary to active pulmonary tuberculosis caused by bronchogenic spread of tuberculous bacilli,
as observed in this case of a 42-year-old male patient, a chronic smoker, with no recent tuberculosis contact or associated medical history. Symptoms began
gradually with dysphonia and high dysphagia, accompanied by a productive cough without significant systemic signs. Endoscopy revealed an ulcerated
proliferative mass at the epiglottis, with biopsy showing an epithelioid granuloma without caseous necrosis.

Viral infections have been known to trigger autoimmune diseases and inflammatory myopathies. Here we report a case of a previously healthy
40-year-old lady who developed a COVID-19 infection which was followed by a prolonged period of myalgia, weakness, and fatigue. These symptoms were
attributed to ‘long Covid’. Later when she presented with skin rashes, and increasing weakness, she was investigated and diagnosed with Dermatomyositis.
The disease progressed and gave rise to difficulty in breathing and swallowing. She responded favorably to immunosuppressants and steroids along with an
intensive rehabilitation program and had an almost full recovery.

Monogenic auto-inflammatory diseases are a group of hereditary disorders characterized by a clinical and biological inflammatory syndrome without
evidence of autoimmunity. The mutated proteins are involved in the altered regulation of inflammation (1). The H syndrome has been recently described as
a rare monogenic auto-inflammatory autosomal recessive histiocytosis, with a prevalence of less than 1 in 1,000,000. It is characterized by typical cutaneous
findings and associated systemic manifestations(2).It is caused by mutations in the solute carrier family 29 (SLC29A3) gene, which encodes the human
equilibrative nucleoside transporter-3(hENT3), a protein found in endosomes, lysosomes, and mitochondria(3).It was first described by Molho-Pessach et al
in 2008, also naming it H syndrome considering the fact most of the clinical features start with the letter “H” (4) and the first described cases were from
Arab descendant (7) .

Summarizing the studies on antecedents of childhood asthma, Yatsenko (2016) writes that disruptions in maternal-infant bonding are at the root of this
disease. Redwood Psychology Center corroborated this conclusion with three studies (Schwartz, 1990; Pennington, 2000; Feinberg, 1999) which showed that
the majority of asthmatic children have birth histories compatible with non-bonding.
