Dieting has been more common in recent years as more people strive to adhere to strict food plans in an effort to achieve their desired body weight and form. Unfortunately, this strategy may have unforeseen repercussions that could have a negative impact on one's health. Insufficient calorie intake, for instance, might deprive the body of vital nutrients, resulting in malnutrition and a weakened immune system. Similar to too-restricted diets, irregular periods and even infertility can result from a disruption in the hormonal balance. Furthermore, dieting can lead to psychological distress, which in turn promotes disordered eating behaviors such as binge eating, purging, and other eating disorders. These disorders have the potential to have a long-term negative impact on physical and mental health, and in some situations, they may even be fatal. It's important to exercise caution and knowledge when it comes to various diet regimens that are advertised on social media and online.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":43872,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Surgery Open","volume":"60 ","pages":"Article 100703"},"PeriodicalIF":1.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S240585722300116X/pdfft?md5=58f885de2bfb79159788112bacf5d1ec&pid=1-s2.0-S240585722300116X-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"92101418","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Radiographic evaluation included chest radiograph, chest Ultrasound, chest CT and an upper gastrointestinal (GI) contrast study. A completely opaque right hemithorax was initially visualized and identified as esophageal lung with associated anomalous partial systemic arterial supply and venous drainage. A right posterolateral thoracotomy with pneumonectomy of the hypoplastic lung was performed.

These utilise scarce healthcare resources and increase hospital costs, as well as negatively impacting on patient's quality of life.
