Complications and outcomes of standing flank versus ventral midline laparotomy for equine nephrosplenic entrapment

Equine Veterinary Education, Volume 38, Issue 10, Page e736-e743, October 2026.
Summary Background Nephrosplenic entrapment (NSE) is a common surgical colic in horses. Ventral midline laparotomy (VML) under general anaesthesia (GA) is the standard approach, whereas standing flank laparotomy (SFL) is an alternative approach for surgical correction. However, direct comparisons between these approaches are lacking.

Liver and Spleen Stiffness as Non‐Invasive Tools Assessing Liver Congestion in Patients With Budd‐Chiari Syndrome

Liver International, Volume 46, Issue 10, October 2026.
ABSTRACT Background and Aims Assessing liver congestion and portal hypertension (PHT) in Budd–Chiari syndrome (BCS) remains challenging. We evaluated liver and spleen stiffness measurements (LSM, SSM) obtained by transient elastography as non‐invasive tools for identifying clinically meaningful liver congestion in BCS.

[State of homeostasis in prolonged decompression of the gastrointestinal tract in peritonitis patients].

Vestnik khirurgii imeni I. I. Grekova, 1980
The state of homeostasis was investigated in 31 patients having peritonitis with decompression of the gastrointestinal tract and 35 patients with peritonitis who were not subjected to intubation. The authors believe that continuous intubation of the gastro-intestinal tract contributes to normalization of homeostasis in patients with peritonitis.

Prognostic Value of Perioperative Anemia in Neurosurgical‐Oncological Treatment of Spinal Metastases

International Journal of Cancer, Volume 159, Issue 6, Page 1391-1400, 15 September 2026.
High perioperative morbidity in patients undergoing surgery for spinal metastases highlights the need to identify modifiable risk factors, particularly the underexplored role of anemia. This study assessed associations between perioperative hemoglobin levels and complications, recurrence, and mortality in patients treated surgically for spinal ...

Obstructive Jaundice due to a Periportal Tuberculous Mass Complicated by Anti‐Tuberculous Drug‐Induced Liver Injury: A Case Report From a Low‐Resource Setting

Clinical Case Reports, Volume 14, Issue 9, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Periportal tuberculous lymphadenitis with obstructive jaundice is rare and may mimic malignancy. We report a case of obstructive jaundice caused by a periportal tuberculous mass confirmed by fine‐needle aspiration and GeneXpert. Treatment was complicated by anti‐tuberculous drug‐induced liver injury.

Unusual Spinal Epidural and Paraspinal Venous Engorgement Secondary to Hepatosplenic Schistosomiasis: A Rare Cause of Severe Low Back Pain

Clinical Case Reports, Volume 14, Issue 9, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Severe low back pain from spinal epidural and paraspinal venous engorgement secondary to hepatosplenic schistosomiasis is rare. MRI revealed dilated epidural veins and neural foraminal narrowing. The patient was managed conservatively with analgesia and carvedilol for portal hypertension and subsequently experienced complete resolution of back
