A case report on transverse colon volvulus

We are hereby presenting a single case report on Transverse colon volvulus, as it is known to be so rare as to call it a once in a surgical lifetime diagnosis. Many surgeons go through their entire careers without coming across even a single such case. Altogether, only 100 cases have been documented in medical literature so far.1This makes it imperative that we disseminate the available knowledge regarding this condition, so as to allow for better patient management by facilitating early diagnosis and prompt management.

In vitro comparison of thymoquinone and cisplatin effects on lung cancer cell lines

In our study, we planned to examine the effects of chemical substances on lung cancer cell lines. It is stated in the literature that cisplatin is effective in the treatment of lung cancer. Therefore, in this study, the effects of thymoquinone and cisplatin on lung cancer cell lines were investigated. Lung cancer diagnosis is late. Without symptoms, a nodule in the lung may grow or spread out of the lung. Therefore, 80% of these patients cannot be operated. This situation led to the need to study different molecules in the investigation of nonsurgical treatments.
