A B S T R A C T: Nutritional problems may appear in patients with chronic liver disease and may affect both short-term and long-term clinical outcome of the disease. Especially high incidence of malnutrition, and the complications that result from malnutrition make treatments more complicated among these patients. Therefore, nutritional regulations may play a crucial role in the treatment of chronic liver disease.

A B S T R A C T: Rabies is a dangerous and preventable viral disease that is mainly transmitted through a rabid animal bite. Human rabies has been considered a problem of great concern due to high death rate that is usually associated with rabies infection. Rabies vaccine is an active immunizing agent directed to protect against infection caused by rabies virus.
Keywords: Rabies vaccine; Alum & MPL adjuvants; Histopathology; Antibodies; IFN and IL-6.
A B S T R A C T: Retroperitoneal Soft Tissue Sarcomas (RPS) are rare tumors, which account for approximately 12 per cent to 15 per cent of all soft tissue sarcomas. Early diagnosis is not easy as there is an absence of specific clinical presentations. Symptoms would only be detected if the liposarcoma presses on the surrounding organs.
Keywords: Liposarcoma; Retroperitoneal; Renal involvement; Case report.
A B S T R A C T: Cholecystectomy is one of the most common operations performed in general surgical practice. In case of cholecystectomy, inflamed gall bladder (Acute cholecystitis, empyema gall bladder or perforated gall bladder) resulting in contamination of wound increases the risk of surgical site infection..
Keywords: Gallbladder wall culture; Surgical site infection; Laparoscopic cholecystectomy.
A B S T R A C T: Peptic Ulcer Perforation (PUP) is a serious surgical emergency with high risks of mortality and morbidity up to 30 and 50%, respectively. The average age range of the patients with PUP differs among countries according to their socioeconomical status.
Keywords: Ramadan; Fasting; Pepticulcer perforation.
A B S T R A C T: This review focuses on the management of short stature associated with celiac disease,
which is a possible expression of GH deficiency; we want also to underline the
importance of diagnosis and treatment of other endocrine disorders in celiac patients.
Growth failure can be a common clinical manifestation of celiac disease in children.

We report 9 cases of Anxiety, 3 Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) and 1 case of
Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis as the first diagnosis, treated with Intestinal Microbiota
Transplantation (IMT). All patients presented anxiety or Irritable Bowel Syndrome as
the first or second diagnosis

ABSTRACT: Relevance: Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) is the most common GI disorder (affecting approximately 11% of the population globally) and patients with IBS are frequently seen by primary care physicians and specialists. Objectives: This article will summarize the existing evidence on epidemiology, pathophysiology, diagnosis, and treatment of IBS and to provide the best evidence in
a way that can be practically utilized by providers.
Keywords:
Irritable bowel syndrome, GI, IBS-D, Etiology
ABSTRACT: The effectiveness of antibiotic therapy is constantly decreasing due to the increasing spread of resistant pathogens. One alternative treatment for infections is the use of probiotics – living microorganisms that contribute to the normalization of the human microbiota. Strain Bacillus subtilis 534 is a transient probiotic, which is the basis of the drug Sporobacterin.

INTRODUCTION : Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) has become a widely adopted sequencing methodology in determining gene sequence changes, chromosomal structure arrangement, and even RNA transcripts alterations. Identifying the genetic variations in human cancers is especially important in determining the proper treatment regimen or disease prognosis.

ABSTRACT : Background: It is reported that the pyogenic liver abscess has an annual incidence of
2.3 cases 100 000 inhabitants and has an incidence of up to 30% of all hepatic gasforming
pyogenic abscesses.

ABSTRACT :
Colonic lipomas are benign submucosal adipose tumors. Most colonic lipomas are
diagnosed incidentally during radiological imaging or colonoscopy. However, large
lesions greater than 4cm in size may cause non-specific abdominal symptoms or result
in complications such as gastrointestinal bleeding, perforation, intussusceptions or
obstruction. The development of symptoms correlates with the size of the lesion.
Resection is recommended for these large lesions, while lesions smaller than 2cm in
size are managed conservatively.

ABSTRACT : Background: In patients with chronic pancreatitis, the pain is the main symptom,
sometimes really debilitating, with a negative impact on patient’s life quality. There is
no etiological therapy for chronic pancreatitis. The goal of the endoscopic treatment
of painful chronic pancreatitis is to drain the pancreatic duct, reduce the frequency
and severity of pain and resolve local complications of the disease as biliary strictures
and pseudo cysts. Few data are available on the long term efficacy of endoscopic
treatment.

ABSTRACT : Vitamin D Deficiency (VDD) is series health issue in Sri Lanka in spite of sun exposure
throughout the year.
This is a case series of six infants presented with hypocalcaemic seizures diagnosed to
have VDD rickets. They presented at the age of 2 to 5 months, one presented with
febrile seizures and the rest had afebrile seizures, in which two had status epilepticus.
None of them had clinical features of rickets.
