Organoids and organ‐on‐a‐chips are advancing reproductive system research. In the female reproductive system, applications include cancer organoid models, placental chips, and hormone simulation models. For the male reproductive system, research focuses on drug resistance mechanisms, co‐culture platforms, and infertility studies. These refined in vitro

ABSTRACT Background The diagnostic performance of clinical diagnostic criteria for IgG4‐related sclerosing cholangitis 2020 (IgG4‐SC2020) has not been fully validated since its proposal as a revision of the 2012 criteria (IgG4‐SC2012). Methods We conducted a multicenter validation study to evaluate the diagnostic performance of IgG4‐SC2020 using ...

Endoscopic management of benign biliary strictures: Possibility or exercise in futility?
Benign biliary strictures for which endoscopic treatment is proposed are mostly related to liver transplantation or chronic pancreatitis (one third of cases each) and, less frequently, to other causes (e. g., cholecystectomy, sphincterotomy).

Barriers to nutrition following neurosurgery: A descriptive cohort study
Abstract Background Neurological trauma results in a state of hypermetabolism. Existing literature has explored barriers to adequate nutrition following traumatic brain injury. Despite clinical similarities, it remains unclear whether similar nutritional barriers are faced following both planned and emergency neurosurgical procedures.

Surgery for benign esophageal stricture
The long-term results of five different operations for benign lower esophageal reflux stricture, carried out over the 5 year period 1973 to 1977, are presented and evaluated. The 94 patients, 51 women and 43 men (mean age 61 years), underwent one of the following procedures: I, transthoracic Nissen fundoplication (26 patients); II, Bingham gastroplasty

Abstract Pancreatic and biliary tract injuries from blunt abdominal trauma are rare in children. Common bile duct (CBD) strictures secondary to pancreatic trauma are even more uncommon, and management traditionally involves surgery. We report a 9‐year‐old boy who developed a severe distal intrapancreatic CBD stricture after blunt pancreatic trauma ...

Mass spectrometry imaging of N‐linked glycans: Fundamentals and recent advances
Abstract With implications in several medical conditions, N‐linked glycosylation is one of the most important posttranslation modifications present in all living organisms. Due to their nontemplate synthesis, glycan structures are extraordinarily complex and require multiple analytical techniques for complete structural elucidation.

Diagnostic Approach to Biliary Strictures
Biliary strictures represent a narrowing of the bile ducts, leading to obstruction that may result from benign or malignant etiologies. Accurate diagnosis is crucial but challenging due to overlapping features between benign and malignant strictures ...

Background and aims Benign gastrointestinal (GI) strictures are often refractory to standard endoscopic interventions. Fully covered coaxial lumen-apposing metal stents (LAMS) have emerged as a novel therapy for these strictures.

Endoscopic small bowel therapies for type 2 diabetes
Abstract Type 2 diabetes is a global epidemic despite current medical treatments. Many patients are not responsive to medications, and patients with obesity are hesitant about bariatric surgery. Studies investigating the metabolic effects of Roux‐en‐Y gastric bypass have increasingly demonstrated that the duodenum plays a key role in the ...
