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).

As much as the Pandemic brought challenges, change in the lifestyle, loss of lives, distress, dis-ease or conspiracy theories that fogged a common man’s
thinking or any other thing you can name, it did, however, it did bring some positive things along. Anyone might wonder how can something that was a
source of suffering can bring good?

Respiratory diphtheria is a major public health concern in lowincome communities, particularly those with inadequate vaccine coverage.
Myocarditis is the deadliest manifestation of diphtheria and the most prevalent cause of death in these patients, occurring 1-3 weeks following the onset of
respiratory disease. This case report discusses the clinical and public health consequences of diphtheria myocarditis in Somalia, a region devastated by
vaccine-preventable illnesses.

Cystic lymphangioma occurs in infancy in most cases and occurs usually in the neck. Ranulas are rare pseudocysts that are mucos
retantion from an obstructed sublingual gland and located in the floor of the mouth, and it usually occurs congenitally. Plunging ranula as a complicated
ranula is herniation of the pseudocyst through the mylohyoid muscle and present as a cervical swelling. Management of plunging ranula is variable and
definitive treatmant is usually surgical. In here, this rare case with complicated bilateral cystic lymphangioma and bilateral plunging ranula was presented to
review the approach of the differantial diagnosis and treatment.

Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) ranks as the second leading cause of cancerrelated deaths worldwide. The primary culprits behind HCC development are
the hepatitis B and C viruses. While direct-acting antiviral drugs (DAAs) have emerged as a significant breakthrough in the treatment of HCV infection, their
impact on HCC remains inadequately studied. The global incidence of HCC is on the rise, including in Russia.

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.
