Lambert-Eaton myasthenic syndrome (LEMS) is a paraneoplastic neuromuscular junction disorder. LEMS presents with muscular weakness and fatigability, mainly involving the proximal lower limbs. There are 2 types of depending on etiology: idiopathic. The form, which constitutes more than half cases, mostly associated intrathoracic neoplasms. Most cases seen in patients small cell lung cancer; other subtypes cancer extremely rare. In this article, we report case as rare association adenocarcinoma lung.

Large bowel obstruction (LBO) is an abdominal emergency with high morbidity and mortality rates if left untreated. LBO four to five times less frequent than small (SBO) the causes of SBO differ substantially. Colonic malignancy remains most common cause (> 60%). Additional include entities such as diverticulitis, colonic volvulus, adhesion. Herein we present a case acute caused by pharmacobezoar.

Diverticulitis can result in abscess, perforation, fistula, or obstruction. Bleeding has combined morbidity mortality rates 10-20%. purpose this study was to compare diverticulitis-related complications transfusion requirements for diverticular bleeding normal moderately reduced kidney function (glomerular filtration rate (GFR) ≥ 30 mL/min/1.73 m2) severe renal...
