Abstract:
Intussusception in adulthood is an uncommon medical condition. Multiple lipomas are a very rare cause of intussusception, and the jejunum is the least common location of lipoma. We report an unusual case of a 37-year-old man presented with non-specific symptoms. Computed tomography of the abdomen revealed a proximal jejunal loop distention. Laparoscopy revealed a jejunal intussusception 40 cm distal to treitz ligament. We switched to open surgery after failure of laparoscopic reduction which showed multiple lipomas as the cause of the intussusception. We resected a segment of 35 cm and reanastomosed the bowel. Three days later, the patient was discharged with uneventful recovery.

Multiple Regression
Farmers can use multiple regression to determine the crop yield based on more than one factor, such as water availability, fertilizer, soil properties, etc. Here, the crop yield is the response or dependent variable as it depends on the other independent variables. The analysis requires the construction of a scatter plot...
