Mondor’s Disease is a rare, benign condition characterized by superficial thrombophlebitis of the veins of the breast. It most commonly affects women
between the ages of 30-60 and is often idiopathic. However, trauma, systemic conditions such as hypercoagulabiliy, and the possibility of underlying breast
cancer should be carefully evaluated in affected patients (1). The most commonly involved vein is the superior epigastric vein, which presents with
findings in the lower outer quadrant of the breast (2). Patients typically present during the acute phase with a painful, palpable, cord-like subcutaneous mass.

Amniotic fluid embolism (AFE) is a life-threatening condition characterized by the entry of amniotic fluid into the maternal circulation,
triggering a „cytokine storm “. The incidence of AFE varies across different populations and studies, ranging from 1.9 to 6.1 cases per 100,000 deliveries.
AFE can be classified into two clinical types: the cardiopulmonary collapse type (or classic type) and the disseminated intravascular coagulopathy (DIC) type
involving atonic bleeding and rapid deterioration of coagulopathy. Here we present two cases of a 38 and 39-year-old multiparous woman who experienced
DIC-type AFE during labor, resulting in uterine atony and emergency peripartum hysterectomy.

The aim of this investigation was to assess the antioxidant and antiproliferative effects of the total methanol, dichloromethane, and aqueous extracts of Lannea
antiscorbutica root bark, as well as to identify a few bioactive markers. The DPPH radical procedure was employed to assess the antioxidant activity. The
methanolic, aqueous, and ascorbic acid extracts exhibit minimal antioxidant activity, with IC50 values of 1.72 μg/mL, 1.65 μg/mL, and 0.43 μg/mL,
respectively. The dichloromethane extract produced a plateau that rendered it impossible to estimate the IC50. For 72 hours, the growth and germination
inhibition of Sorghum bicolor seeds against the plant extracts were monitored to assess the antiproliferative activity.

Cardiac tumor is a rare heart disease. The incidence of autopsy is between 0.002-0.3 %. About three-quarters of the primary lesions are benign, and the
remaining one-quarter is malignant. Sarcoma is the most common malignant lesion. [ 1 ] Undifferentiated pleomorphic sarcoma is an extremely rare and
aggressive primary cardiac tumor. Most of them grow rapidly and die rapidly. Different data show that the median survival time is usually between 6 and 12
months according to different sources. We are presenting a case of primary cardiac undifferentiated pleomorphic sarcoma. The progression-free survival
after surgery was 23 months, far exceeding the existing data. Because the disease is extremely rare, the treatment experience is insufficient. The treatment
experience of this case can be used for peer reference.

Pakistan is one of the second largest youth populations in the world. Foreign experts sid this is the major asset for a country to grow up in this modern world.
The absolute number of the youth population in the Pakistan is about 58 million. In 21st century many developed countries such as South Korea, japan and china
have decline in youth population due to late marriages. Today’s Pakistani youth is facing many problems in terms of unemployment or high inflation in recent
08 years. As many as 6.3 million individuals are unemployed in the country, with the youth aged 15-24 having the highest unemployment rate in 2024-2025.
During the year 2024 July about 390,119 Pakistanis migrates to abroad for the purpose of employment.

The patient was 60 years old, naïve, with no previous pathological history, and presented with an eczematous lesion of the right nipple. The lesion had
begun a year earlier as a scaly, pruritic patch involving the nipple and areola of the right breast. Clinical examination revealed an inflammatory plaque on the
right nipple, ulcerated in places and topped with a crust (Fig. 1). The rest of the examination of the right breast was unremarkable, in particular there was no
palpable nodule or nipple discharge. The left breast was unremarkable and the axillary folds were free.

Our work environment is not so easily classified. There are specific signs in our daily work routine (always taking into account an important time frame)
that determine whether what we experienced today was simply a bad day or whether we are working in a place that is mentally, physically, and emotionally
harmful to us.

Toxic leadership (Lipman-Blumen, 2004) is part of the dark side of leadership,along with the concepts: Petty tyranny (Ashforth, 1997), Abusive supervision
(Tepper, 2000), Destructive leadership (Einarsen et al., 2007) and Bullying (Einarsen et al., 2003). The term “toxic” means poisonous. It comes from the
Greek phrase “toxic medicine”, which essentially means poison for arrows. It is noteworthy that for the meaning of the term today, the word “toxic” was used,
which comes from the bow, and not the word “medicine”, which actually means poison.

The study of toxic leadership, which is a form of destructive leadership, has intensified in recent years, as the results of its existence are destructive for both
health-care organization and employees. The present work explores the relationship between toxic leadership and more
specifically the toxic leadership triangle and the well-being of employees in the public sector.
The toxic leadership triangle, which contributes to the existence of destructive leadership, is a theoretical model based on three factors, namely the leader,
the subordinates (followers) and the conditions of the environment.

Single coronary artery is a rare anomaly that can be observed both alone and in conjunction with other congenital heart anomalies. A single coronary artery
can lead to sudden cardiac death due to reduced myocardial perfusion. The incidence rate varies between 0.024% and 1% according to different sources.
There is no significant correlation between the type of anomaly and angina symptoms.

Tobacco, a plant native to South America, has been known since ancient times. It was used by Cuban aborigines for entheogenic purposes, that is, they
mixed it with other distorting substances to "get closer to the deities" during religious ceremonies, through hallucinogenic journeys. [1]
Smoking arose clearly associated with development and industrialization. It is the cause of three million deaths per year, and the rate is increasing.

Colorectal cancers are common in both sexes. It is the third most common cancer in men and the second most common cancer in women worldwide. The
frequency of colorectal cancer increases in direct proportion to age and this increase, which starts in the 40s, reaches its peak between the ages of 60 and
751. It is thought that 95% of colon cancers are caused by polyps. The incidence increases in direct proportion to age. The malignant potential of these polyps
are related to polyp type, size and degree of dysplasia, as well as the number of polyps, age of the patient and follow-up period2,3.In colorectal cancer, a
wide range of reactive oxygen radicals and increased cytokine levels have been found.

Breast pain (mastalgia) is experienced by ≤70% of women during their lifetime[1] and may be considered a physiological symptom rather like painful
menses, but remains a common presentation in primary care. Despite an absence of evidence suggesting that mastalgia alone is associated with breast
cancer, it is still commonly referred to secondary care breast units — in one study it accounted for 41% of referrals.

Mitral and aortic valve surgeries, necessitating open-heart procedures with cardiopulmonary bypass, mandate a comprehensive comprehension of the
pathophysiological mechanisms underlying mitral valve insufficiency (MVI) and aortic valve insufficiency (AVI). This knowledge is indispensable for devising
efficacious perfusion strategies during cardiopulmonary bypass. This narrative review seeks to transcend generalized perfusion paradigms by emphasizing the
crucial role of ultrasound scans in delineating and optimizing cardiopulmonary bypass procedures for MI and AoI. The article underscores the significance of
ultrasound in real-time monitoring of key perfusion parameters, specifically focusing on compromised vena cava, arterial resistance, and pulmonary
congestion.

Chronic non-healing wounds present a substantial impact to the quality of life of approximately 2.5% of the United States population and pose a significant
financial burden. The estimated Medicare cost projections for wound care was between $28.1 to $96.8 billion in 2020 alone [1]. Of these costs, up to $35.8
billion were associated with outpatient wound care costs. With the increase in incidence of chronic non-healing and complex acute wounds due to conditions
such as diabetes, pressure ulcers, and vascular deficits, it is becoming increasingly important to develop a gold standard treatment and agents to
facilitate effective wound healing [1].

Pilonidal disease involves an under the skin infection near the gluteal cleft and the only definitive treatment is full surgical excision. Still, surgical
excision is associated with a high rate of complications and there is significant debate on the benefit of primary versus secondary closure. Kerecis™is a fish skin
derived acellular dermal matrix product that has shown promise in promoting the healing of complex wounds, but its application in wound closure in pilonidal
disease has not yet been studied.

Thrombophilia disorders are linked to an increased risk of venous thromboembolism (VTE) during pregnancy. Antiphospholipid syndrome and
factor V Leiden are examples of thrombophilia diseases that can be acquired or inherited. Both are related to VTE, although acquired diseases can raise the
risk of arterial events. In Lebanon, this disease is rarely addressed in the field of research. A cross-sectional study on Lebanese women aged 18-40 found that
hereditary thrombophilia increases the risk of venous thromboembolism and adverse pregnancy outcomes. The study, which included 1000 participants,
aimed to highlight the association between thrombophilia and maternal venous thromboembolism and adverse pregnancy outcomes.
