KGMU docs treat teen boy with rare tummy disorder
Lucknow: A 14-year-old boy from a rural area in eastern UP, suffering from a rare and painful stomach disorder, was successfully treated at KGMU. The boy was diagnosed with superior mesenteric artery (SMA) syndrome, also known as Wilkie's syndrome. In this condition, part of the small intestine, called the duodenum, gets squeezed between two major blood vessels — the aorta and the superior mesenteric artery. This causes severe stomach pain, weight loss, and a fear of eating. For over six months, the boy was in pain every time he ate, so he almost stopped eating. By the time he reached KGMU, he was extremely weak. His body mass index (BMI) dropped to 12.5, far below the normal range of 18.5-25 for boys his age, putting him at serious risk of malnutrition. Faculty at the surgery department, Prof Saumya Singh, who led the treatment, said that SMA syndrome is very rare — only 0.01-0.03% of people are affected — and is often hard to identify because its symptoms are similar to common stomach issues. In this case, a CT scan confirmed the diagnosis by showing the narrowing between the two arteries. Dr Singh said, "Usually, women in their 40s get SMA syndrome. But due to its low occurrence, it is often misdiagnosed, and people keep popping painkillers just for relief. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Many Are Watching Tariffs - Few Are Watching What Nvidia Just Launched Seeking Alpha Read More Undo We see this condition rarely — perhaps one case in three years." Dr Saumya said the boy underwent a surgery called 'Strong's Procedure' on June 10. Within a few days, the boy started eating again and began to recover quickly. The patient was discharged. The operation was supported by head of paediatric surgery, Prof JD Rawat, Prof JK Kushwaha and junior doctors Dr Swapnil Singh and Dr Pankaj Kumar. The anaesthesia team, led by Prof MP Khan and Dr Ayushi, ensured the child's safety during the risky procedure. KGMU vice chancellor Prof Soniya Nityanand praised the team.

'So beauty': Saints defender boasts hot streak to 150
This is the lot of a key defender: Callum Wilkie will celebrate his 150-game milestone on the tough road trip to Geelong, trying to stop the AFL's most in-form key forward. And standing at Moorabbin on Wednesday morning, nursing two black eyes after a whack on the nose early in last Sunday's game, the St Kilda backman wouldn't have it any other way. "I usually line up on Jezza (Jeremy Cameron), so I imagine that's what they have in store upstairs. That's a nice way to play your 150th, on the best forward in the comp who's leading the Coleman (Medal)," Wilkie said with a grin. "So beauty." Wilkie, 29, will become only the second AFL player, after Sydney's Jared Crouch, to play 150 consecutive games from debut. The Saints defender has become the poster child for finding a different path to AFL stardom. He was overlooked in four national drafts, eventually combining university and full-time work as an accountant while playing for SANFL side North Adelaide. After the Roosters won the 2018 premiership - coached by Josh Carr and featuring a teenaged Connor Rozee off half-back - Wilkie finally went to the Saints in the rookie draft. He is the club's reigning best-and-fairest winner and earned 2023 All-Australian selection. "It gives you a really good perspective of how good AFL football is. Ultimately we have a great job," Wilkie said of his rocky path to the AFL. "That perspective has held me in good stead, knowing I love playing football and I can do this for a living and ultimately, hopefully try to drag this club to finals and success. "Not getting drafted probably built some resilience." He said the 2018 SANFL flag, North's first in 27 years, remains a key moment in his playing career and is motivation as the Saints try to return to finals. "Definitely, it was a great time. Anyone can attest to this, whether you play amateurs or AFL, winning a flag is probably the best feeling ever," Wilkie said. "I always say this to anyone - if I retired now, that's my favourite football memory. They're my best mates, still to this day, I won a premiership with (them). "You bring that here, you just want to be able to contribute to the footy club, and we want to get there one day. We have a lot of stepping stones first." A few of the newer "stones" are emerging. Nasiah Wanganeen-Milera is an excitement machine, and there were a few Viking helmets worn at the club members' day training run on Wednesday for Alix Tauru, nicknamed the Flying Viking. Wilkie was asked how many of his remaining AFL games will feature Wanganeen-Milera as a teammate, given growing speculation about the young gun's future beyond this season. "Hopefully all - he's a special kid and a special player. He's really taken it up a notch, like everyone has seen this year, especially with leadership," Wilkie said. "He's a real competitor. Teams are starting to tag him - it's almost an impossible task. Love the player, love the person."
