A very rare combined case of choledochocele with bile duct duplication, which would escalate the pancreatitis and cholangitis, was successfully treated. Their pathogeneses in relation to pancreaticobiliary maljunction is discussed.

The field of organoid engineering promises to revolutionize medicine with wide-ranging applications of scientific, engineering, and clinical interest, including precision and personalized medicine, gene editing, drug development, disease modelling, cellular therapy, and human development. Organoids are a three-dimensional (3D) miniature…[Read more]

However, unfavourable clinicopathological factors did not preclude long-term survival. Collectively, our findings indicate that actual 5-year survival for pancreatic cancer is still below 5% despite improvement of survival for the subset of patients undergoing surgical resection.The mating of 77 heterozygous pairs (Cav3.2[+|-] x Cav3.2[+|-])…[Read more]

Especially CO2 measurements are accurate and useful.

New techniques are available to assess a child’s hemodynamic and respiratory status while under anesthesia. These new monitors can be used as complementary tools together with standard monitoring in children, to further improve perioperative safety.

New techniques are available to…[Read more]

Moreover, we found the site 83 of β-subunit under positive selection in several plant genera, a site clearly related to the sensitivity to tentoxin according to biochemistry assays, which possibly reflects the selective pressure of the non-host specific tentoxin across various Angiosperm clades.Crossing over, in addition to its strictly genetic…[Read more]

e, but not with the visually defined features of ILD-HRCT, implies that radiomics might capture features on HRCT, which are not recognized by visual analysis.

• Radiomics features can predict GAP stage with a sensitivity of 84% and a specificity of almost 100%. • Extent of fibrosis on HRCT and a combined model of different visual HRCT-ILD fea…[Read more]

While collagen fibrils are understood to be the primary load-bearing elements in tendon, controversy still exists on how fibrils functionally transmit load from muscle to bone. Specifically, it’s unclear whether fibrils are structurally continuous along the tendon length and bear load independently, or if they are discontinuous and transfer load…[Read more]

Ginkgo biloba (GKB) may have a beneficial effect on cardiometabolic parameters in type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), but the data is inconsistent. Therefore, the current systematic review and meta-analysis of clinical trials was conducted to assess the influence of GKB on cardiometabolic parameters in T2DM. Several online databases such as PubMed,…[Read more]

The impact of waiting for surgery on the mental health of patients usually receives little attention. Because of the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic, the waits for elective surgery have been lengthening, potentially inducing or exacerbating mental health burdens. Provinces’ health systems need to provide better…[Read more]
