Abstract:
Mpox (formerly known as Monkeypox) has emerged as a public health crisis in 2022 with recent global spread outside of endemic regions and secondary transmission of this zoonotic disease between humans. The current outbreak predominantly affects men who have sex with men (MSM). Classically, Mpox presents with fever, rash, and lymphadenopathy; however, in the MSM population, genital/perianal skin lesions and rectal pain due to proctitis are commonly present. We present the CT findings of active proctitis in two cases of Mpox infection.

Peptic Ulcer Disease III: Clinical Manifestations and Diagnostic Studies
Few clinical manifestations differentiate gastric ulcers from duodenal ulcers. Distinctions in the location, timing, and pain relief are crucial for healthcare providers in differentiating between gastric and duodenal ulcers during clinical assessments.
Inflammatory Bowel Disease II: Crohn's Disease

Inflammatory bowel disease, or IBD, encompasses a group of disorders characterized by chronic inflammation or ulceration of the gastrointestinal tract.
Risk Factors
The exact cause of IBD remains unclear, although it is believed to be due to a mix of genetic, environmental, microbial, and immune factors. Genetic factors are significant in determining susceptibility to IBD, with family history being a critical risk factor. Individuals with a first-degree relative who has IBD are at...
