    Abstract Melaena due to hookworm infestation is a rare clinical presentation. It usually presents with symptoms of iron-deficiency anaemia owing to slow blood loss. Here we present a case of 45-year male who presented with a one-year history of intermittent melena requiring multiple blood transfusions. Preliminary endoscopies at different centres were normal. The presence of hookworm in the duodenum was only detected on repeat upper endoscopy as the cause of blood loss, and treatment with albendazole was successful in curing the patient.

    Abstract Idiopathic omental hemorrhage is a rare cause of an acute abdomen, which is potentially life threatening. Here, we report a case of a 34-year-old male who presented to the emergency department with sudden, severe pain abdomen and abdominal distension for 1 day. There was no history of trauma, abdominal surgeries or any significant past medical history. The diagnosis was suspected on contrast computed tomography, which revealed hyperdense areas of blood in the peritoneal cavity with contrast extravasation from the omentum. The patient underwent successful emergency laparotomy, peritoneal lavage and greater omentectomy to achieve hemostasis.

    Abstract Gallbladder cancer (GBC) is the fifth most common neoplasm of the digestive tract and has an overall incidence of 3 per 100 000 people. Only 15-47% of the preoperatively known GBC are suitable for resection. The objective of the study was to investigate the resectability and prognosis of GBC patients.
    Materials and methods: It is a prospective observational study including all cases of primary cancers of the gallbladder in the Department of Surgical Gastroenterology at a tertiary care center over the period from January 2014 to December 2019. The primary endpoint was resectability and overall survival.
    Results: During the study period, 100 patients with GBC were reported. The mean age at the time of diagnosis was 52.5 years, with a female predominance (67%). The curative intent resection (radical cholecystectomy) was possible in 30 (30%) patients; while 18 (18%) required palliative surgical treatment. The overall survival of the entire group was 9 months; while those patients who underwent surgery with curative intent had a median overall survival of 28 months after a median follow-up of 42 months.
    Conclusion: This study found that only one-third of patients achieve radical surgery with curative intent. Overall, the prognosis of patients is poor with a median survival of less than a year due to the advanced stage disease. Multimodality treatment, screening ultrasound, and neo-/adjuvant therapy may improve survival.
