Charting the landscape of the environmental exposome
We describe the biological and chemical components of the environmental exposomes in three major environmental matrices that are highly relevant to human and social‐economical health—air, soil, and water. We discuss how different exposome components can interact with each other. Finally, we propose a list of outstanding challenges to be tackled to push

Ultrastructural Studies of the Bile Duct in Alcoholic Liver Disease.
The fine structural characteristics of the bile duct in patients with alcoholic disease are described. Dark cell metamorphosis, edematous microvilli, and increased number of pinocytotic vesicles on the basal wall surface of the duct epithelium were observed.

Abstract Background The epidemiological profiles of gastrointestinal (GI) cancers vary across countries and over time, largely reflecting variations in risk factors and screening practices. We aimed to provide an overview of the current global burden of the five major types of GI cancers and conduct an updated evaluation of the long‐term trends of GI ...

Differential metabolic and cellular brain regional susceptibility in adult rats with chronic liver disease [PDF]
Background & Aims: Patients with type C hepatic encephalopathy (HE) present diverse symptoms indicating that various brain regions are affected. Understanding the distinct metabolic and cellular changes across these regions could help explain the clinical variability of HE.

Abstraction in Belief Networks: The Role of Intermediate States in Diagnostic Reasoning [PDF]
Bayesian belief networks are bing increasingly used as a knowledge representation for diagnostic reasoning. One simple method for conducting diagnostic reasoning is to represent system faults and observations only. In this paper, we investigate how having intermediate nodes-nodes other than fault and observation nodes affects the diagnostic performance

Combating cancer immunotherapy resistance: a nano‐medicine perspective
Abstract Cancer immunotherapy offers renewed hope for treating this disease. However, cancer cells possess inherent mechanisms that enable them to circumvent each stage of the immune cycle, thereby evading anti‐cancer immunity and leading to resistance.

Why Is Diagnosis Using Belief Networks Insensitive to Imprecision In Probabilities? [PDF]
Recent research has found that diagnostic performance with Bayesian belief networks is often surprisingly insensitive to imprecision in the numerical probabilities. For example, the authors have recently completed an extensive study in which they applied random noise to the numerical probabilities in a set of belief networks for medical diagnosis ...

Re-do Kasai procedure in a preterm infant
We report the case of a 10-day old boy with biliary atresia (BA) who was delivered by caesarean section at 33 weeks 4 days of gestation (birth weight, 2135 g). At birth, his direct bilirubin level was high, and stools were light yellow.
