The Hidden Architecture of Pancreatic Ducts: 3D Anatomical Reconstruction and Its Implication on Pancreatic Resection

Journal of Hepato-Biliary-Pancreatic Sciences, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background/Purpose Postoperative pancreatic fistula (POPF) is a common complication after pancreatic surgery and its mechanisms remain incompletely understood. While the diameter of the main pancreatic duct is well‐known to be a risk factor of POPF, the impact of branch duct's (BD) anatomy is not known.

Methodological progress note: Descriptive, predictive, and causal observational studies

Journal of Hospital Medicine, EarlyView.
Abstract Observational data can be used to answer descriptive, predictive, and causal questions. Analysis of observational data can be challenging and may require complex analytical methods to produce meaningful, unbiased results; for example, when addressing confounding in causal studies.

Characteristics of ascitic fluid and diagnosis of bacterial peritonitis in malignant ascites: An observational study

Journal of Hospital Medicine, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Bacterial peritonitis in patients with malignant ascites (BP‐MA) is an understudied, high‐mortality condition. While ascitic polymorphonuclear (PMN) cell count ≥ 250 cells/mm3 defines the diagnosis of spontaneous bacterial peritonitis (SBP) in patients with cirrhosis, an ascitic fluid parameter for the diagnosis of BP‐MA has not ...

Urine diagnostics in paediatric intestinal failure: A prospective cohort study of alternative sampling methods

Journal of Pediatric Gastroenterology and Nutrition, EarlyView.
Abstract Objectives Regular monitoring of urinary electrolyte excretion and kidney function is essential in children with intestinal failure (IF) receiving long‐term parenteral nutrition (PN). This study evaluated alternative urine sampling methods against 24‐h urine collection (UC) and assessed the prevalence of chronic kidney disease (CKD) and renal ...

Effects of paraprobiotic Lactobacillus acidophilus LA‐5 on PANoptosis, oxidative stress and inflammation in acetic acid‐induced ulcerative colitis

Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, EarlyView.
Abstract BACKGROUND Ulcerative colitis (UC) is a relapsing inflammatory bowel disease characterised by oxidative stress, inflammation and regulated cell death of the colonic mucosa. Because live probiotics may cause bacteraemia and sepsis in immunocompromised hosts, non‐viable (paraprobiotic) alternatives have attracted interest.

Understanding the Concept of Self‐Performed Ultrasound: A Scoping Review

Journal of Ultrasound in Medicine, EarlyView.
Self‐performed ultrasound is an emerging technology that facilitates adept self‐scans in untrained hands. Inspired by self‐performed imaging in space for more prompt diagnosis and therapy, it has the potential to accurately monitor chronic conditions remotely. However, the lack of supervision and physical restraints can hinder its usability.

Determinants of Early Renal Function Recovery After TIPS in Patients With Portal Hypertension

The Kaohsiung Journal of Medical Sciences, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Renal dysfunction frequently occurs in patients with portal hypertension and is linked to unfavorable clinical outcomes. Transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt (TIPS) has the potential to enhance renal perfusion through portal decompression; however, factors predicting early improvement in renal function remain insufficiently defined ...
