An Unusual Presentation of Villoglandular Papillary Adenocarcinoma in a Perimenopausal Woman

Villoglandular papillary adenocarcinoma (VPA) or villoglandular adenocarcinoma (VGA) is a rare but well-recognized subtype of cervical carcinoma. It exhibits a favorable prognosis, particularly within the childbearing age group, and is considered a rare manifestation of mucinous adenocarcinoma typically observed in individuals of reproductive age. In comparison to other adenocarcinomas, VPA generally demonstrates a more optimistic prognosis. This report details the case of a 46-year-old perimenopausal woman who presented with complaints of irregular menses and a protruding mass from the vagina. Upon examination, an exophytic growth was identified, replacing the cervix. A biopsy confirmed the diagnosis of VPA. Subsequently, the patient underwent a radical hysterectomy, followed by post-operative radiation therapy.

Challenging Diagnosis and Management of an Ovarian Cyst Torsion in a Postmenopausal Woman: A Case Report

Ovarian masses are rare in the postmenopausal age group, and ovarian torsion is a gynecological emergency. We present a case report of a 63-year-old postmenopausal woman who presented a massive abdominal mass with pain that gradually increased during the previous 12 months. A contrast-enhanced computed tomography scan of the abdomen and pelvis suggested a 16.6 cm × 14 cm × 13 cm originating from the right ovary. Total abdominal hysterectomy, bilateral salphingo-oophorectomy, and partial omentectomy were performed in an emergency as the patient's symptoms worsened. A massive cyst was visualized from the right ovary, which had undergone a torsion of three turns. Histopathological analysis revealed a serous cystadenoma. The twisted ovarian cyst typically manifests as an acute abdomen, although there are cases where this presentation can cause a significant delay in diagnosis. Therefore, high clinical suspicion is often necessary to prevent morbidity and mortality.

Managing Diabetes Mellitus With Millets: A New Solution

Diabetes mellitus (DM) is the leading cause of morbidity and mortality, and the disease's prevalence is increasing with each passing day. DM can be prevented and controlled with modifications to the diet, especially by incorporating millet in the diet. Throughout history, eating habits have been recognized for their significant contribution to promoting health and wellness by eating foods rich in nutrients. Millet is an underutilized food crop with many benefits for health, with the most beneficial being low glycemic index, high fiber content, polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA), non-acid-forming potential, and gluten-free. In addition to staple food crops, such as wheat, rice, and foxtail millet, millets are still highly nutritious and beneficial and have great potential to help the world combat the food insecurity many countries face today. Millets are in the top positions of recommended dietary charts with their numerous health benefits and antioxidant properties.
