Osteopenic occult vertebral fracture is associated with poor oncological outcome in patients with hepatocellular carcinoma after hepatic resection

Annals of Gastroenterological Surgery, EarlyView.
Osteopenic occult vertebral fracture (OVF) was associated with poor long‐term outcomes in patients with HCC after hepatic resection. Osteopenic OVF had a poorer prognosis than that of patients with either osteopenia or OVF. Abstract Background Although osteopenia has been associated with poor outcomes in patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC ...

Reoperative pouch surgery for suspected Crohn's‐related complications aided by biologic coverage: Early experience from an inflammatory bowel disease center

Annals of Gastroenterological Surgery, EarlyView.
This paper demonstrates that revisional/redo ileal pouch anal anastomosis (IPAA) surgery with concurrent biologic therapy provides a viable, stoma‐free alternative for patients with Crohn's disease‐like complications, showing a high functioning pouch rate and expanding options for managing pouch failure.

Deep Sequential Mosaicking of Fetoscopic Videos [PDF]

, 2019
Twin-to-twin transfusion syndrome treatment requires fetoscopic laser photocoagulation of placental vascular anastomoses to regulate blood flow to both fetuses. Limited field-of-view (FoV) and low visual quality during fetoscopy make it challenging to identify all vascular connections.

Analysis of hospital costs for robotic and open pancreatectomy incurred during the implementation of a robotic pancreatectomy program at a cancer center

Annals of Gastroenterological Surgery, EarlyView.
In this matched cohort study, total costs associated with robotic pancreatectomy were significantly lower than those associated with open pancreatectomy. High intraoperative costs associated with robotic pancreatectomies can be mitigated by other hospital related factors such as length of stay, number of medication prescriptions, and standardization of

Adeno‐associated virus serotype 2 capsid variants for improved liver‐directed gene therapy

Hepatology, EarlyView., 2022
Abstract Background and Aims Current liver‐directed gene therapies look for adeno‐associated virus (AAV) vectors with improved efficacy. With this background, capsid engineering is explored. Whereas shuffled capsid library screenings have resulted in potent liver targeting variants with one first vector in human clinical trials, modifying natural ...

Short‐ and Long‐Term Outcomes of Open, Laparoscopic, and Robot‐Assisted Surgery for Rectal Cancer

Annals of Gastroenterological Surgery, EarlyView.
Robot‐assisted rectal resection demonstrated superior short and long‐term outcomes compared to laparoscopic and open approaches. ABSTRACT Background Robot‐assisted surgery has short‐term benefits in rectal cancer surgery; however, its long‐term advantages remain unclear. This study compared short‐ and long‐term outcomes of open, laparoscopic, and robot‐

CD11b+CD43hiLy6Clo splenocyte‐derived macrophages exacerbate liver fibrosis via spleen–liver axis

Hepatology, EarlyView., 2022
A population of splenic monocytes migrate into the liver and shift to macrophages, which account for the exacerbation of liver fibrosis. Abstract Background and Aims Monocyte‐derived macrophages (MoMFs), a dominant population of hepatic macrophages under inflammation, play a crucial role in liver fibrosis progression.
