    Abstract Bartholin's glands are important organs of the female reproductive system. These glands have the function of producing an alkaline mucoid secretion, which helps in vaginal and vulvar lubrication. There are several types of lesions that can be identified in these anatomical structures, where in most cases presented for medical examination, cysts and abscesses predominate. This is the presentation of a clinical case of a 55-year-old patient, who is presented to the surgeon for her complaints. Once the woman is examined, diagnosed, and treated adequately, she is taken into consideration for presenting her case in this study, while maintaining confidentiality. The presented clinical case provides a clinical framework not easy to establish an accurate diagnosis of a Bartholin gland cyst. Careful physical examination by the surgeon and careful preparation with electrosurgery verified the cyst-hematoma left and just above the posterior fornix, where some material was taken from the cyst capsule and hematoma and sent for histological examination. The histological response concluded with cystic hematoma of the Bartholin gland. Cystic lesions of the vagina are relatively common and usually represent a benign condition. Ways of managing Bartholin gland cysts vary depending on the discomfort they bring to the patient as well as the size or even the anatomical extent of the cystic lesion. However, the physical examination, with a careful inspection by the surgeon, combined with the imaging examinations, requires a biopsy examination, which is the confirmation of the diagnosis.

    Abstract Introduction: Stroke, a prominent global cause of mortality and disability, is broadly categorized into ischemic and hemorrhagic types. An epidemiological survey of stroke and its risk factors can help identify individuals at higher risk and therefore promote stroke prevention strategies. The aim of this study was to estimate the current prevalence of stroke and evaluate stroke-associated risk factors in Albania.
    Material and methods: This was a single-center retrospective analysis conducted in Albania for the period from May 2015 to September 2021. Data were collected retrospectively through hospital records. Stroke was defined as sudden onset of a nonconvulsive and focal neurological deficit, and ischemic stroke was diagnosed using brain computed tomography (CT), magnetic resonance (MR) imaging, or both. We examined patient history characteristics encompassing demographics, stroke history, conventional vascular risk factors, and lifestyle-related risk factors.
    Results: The mean age of the 3860 patients was 74.6 ±10.4 years, and 73.5% were men. The prevalence of carotid stenosis, arrhythmia, obesity, and hypertension was significantly higher in males than in females (
    Conclusions: Our analysis underscores the male predominance (2.2 : 1) in stroke cases. Carotid and vertebral artery stenosis is a significant factor, emphasizing the life-saving potential of early intervention. Social and economic factors in Albania pose challenges, demanding comprehensive strategies. Prospective trials are crucial to explore intervention efficacy, and timing, and address socioeconomic impacts on timely stroke management.
