Automated Assessment of Critical View of Safety in Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy [PDF]
Cholecystectomy (gallbladder removal) is one of the most common procedures in the US, with more than 1.2M procedures annually. Compared with classical open cholecystectomy, laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC) is associated with significantly shorter recovery period, and hence is the preferred method.

A case of hepatic intraductal papillary neoplasm of the bile duct
In this report, we present a 57-year-old female with a history of mild alcoholic liver disease during a medical check-up. Abdominal computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging showed a multicystic mass with a solid enhancing mural nodule in the right lobe of the liver.

Active Learning-Based Multistage Sequential Decision-Making Model with Application on Common Bile Duct Stone Evaluation [PDF]
Multistage sequential decision-making scenarios are commonly seen in the healthcare diagnosis process. In this paper, an active learning-based method is developed to actively collect only the necessary patient data in a sequential manner. There are two novelties in the proposed method.

Evaluation of Direct Haptic 4D Volume Rendering of Partially Segmented Data for Liver Puncture Simulation [PDF]
This work presents an evaluation study using a force feedback evaluation framework for a novel direct needle force volume rendering concept in the context of liver puncture simulation. PTC/PTCD puncture interventions targeting the bile ducts have been selected to illustrate this concept.

Neoplastic Progression in Intraductal Papillary Neoplasm of the Bile Duct
Context.— Intraductal papillary neoplasm of the bile duct (IPNB) is classified into types 1 and 2 based on criteria proposed in 2019. Recent studies investigated the clinicopathologic and molecular features of IPNB, which contributed to a more detailed understanding of this undercharacterized neoplasm.

Housing sulfur: Certain fungi produce diketopiperazine compounds with a transannular sulfur bridge. These so‐called epipolythiodioxopiperzines are toxic by non‐specifically interacting with intracellular proteins and contribute to fungal pathogenicity. Producer strains serve as bio‐pesticides but also question safety of food fermentation.

Bile dynamics within the biliary tract and microfluidic-based bile component detection: A review [PDF]
Bilestones are solid masses found in the gallbladder or biliary tract, which block the normal bile flow and eventually result in severe life-threatening complications. Studies have shown that bilestone formation may be related to bile flow dynamics and the concentration level of bile components.

Abstract Background This study attempts to detect the expression of FoxP3, CD68, CD8α, and PD‐L1 in the tumor microenvironment (TME) of intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (ICC), and analyze the relationship between the corresponding cells and clinicopathological characteristics as well as prognosis of ICC.
