Role of Endoscopic Ultrasound‐guided Gastroenterostomy for Benign Gastric Outlet Obstruction
ABSTRACT Benign gastric outlet obstruction (GOO) often results from intrinsic conditions like peptic strictures, caustic‐induced stricture, and surgical anastomoses, and extrinsic conditions like pancreatitis, hematoma, and superior mesenteric artery syndrome.

ABSTRACT This review outlines current interventional strategies for treating symptomatic walled‐off necrosis (WON) after necrotizing pancreatitis. Mortality from acute pancreatitis has improved, but late mortality, particularly from infected necrosis, remains a challenge. WON requires invasive treatment in cases of infection or symptoms.

Human Cyclophilins—An Emerging Class of Drug Targets
ABSTRACT Cyclophilins are a family of enzymes with peptidyl‐prolyl isomerase activity found in all cells of all organisms. To date, 17 cyclophilin isoforms have been identified in the human body, participating in diverse biological processes. Consequently, cyclophilins have emerged as promising targets for drug development to address a wide array of ...
