ABSTRACT Testicular germ cell tumors (TGCT) are the leading malignancy in adolescent and young adult males, yet the immunological and cellular mechanisms governing their tumor microenvironment (TME) remain poorly understood. Here, we present a comprehensive review of TGCT pathobiology with a focus on the immune landscape, particularly the role of tumor‐

When Enzymes Mislead: Assessing the Value of MRCP in Suspected Choledocholithiasis
ABSTRACT Background The diagnosis of choledocholithiasis (CDL) requires balancing timely intervention against the risks of unnecessary invasive procedures. Although liver function tests (LFTs) are widely used for risk stratification, their static values and short‐term trends remain poorly defined in predicting persistent common bile duct stones.

ABSTRACT Background The American and European Societies of Gastrointestinal Endoscopy (ASGE and ESGE) have published diagnostic guidelines for the evaluation of choledocholithiasis. The applicability and feasibility of these guidelines in a publicly funded health care system, such as ours in Aotearoa New Zealand, are not known. This retrospective study
