The Role of Endoscopic Ultrasound in Assessing Portal Hypertension: A State‐of‐the‐Art Literature Review and Evolving Perspectives

open access: yesLiver International, Volume 45, Issue 4, April 2025.
ABSTRACT Background Portal hypertension (PH) is a critical complication in patients with hepatic diseases. Its accurate evaluation is essential for early diagnosis, risk stratification, and management. Endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) has emerged as a promising diagnostic tool, offering high‐resolution imaging of the portal venous system, hepatic ...

European guidelines for the diagnosis and treatment of pancreatic exocrine insufficiency: UEG, EPC, EDS, ESPEN, ESPGHAN, ESDO, and ESPCG evidence‐based recommendations

open access: yesUnited European Gastroenterology Journal, Volume 13, Issue 1, Page 125-172, February 2025.
Abstract Pancreatic exocrine insufficiency (PEI) is defined as a reduction in pancreatic exocrine secretion below the level that allows the normal digestion of nutrients. Pancreatic disease and surgery are the main causes of PEI. However, other conditions and upper gastrointestinal surgery can also affect the digestive function of the pancreas. PEI can

Polymorphisms within autophagy‐related genes as susceptibility biomarkers for pancreatic cancer: A meta‐analysis of three large European cohorts and functional characterization

open access: yesInternational Journal of Cancer, Volume 156, Issue 2, Page 339-352, 15 January 2025.
What's new? The etiology of pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC), among the most aggressive and deadliest cancers worldwide, remains largely unknown. Here, using data from cohorts of European ancestry, the authors investigated the influence on PDAC risk of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in genes associated with autophagy. Analyses identified

A genome‐wide association study identifies eight loci associated with intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasm progression toward malignancy

open access: yesCancer, Volume 131, Issue 1, 1 January 2025.
Abstract Background Intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasms (IPMNs) are precursors to pancreatic cancer, but not all IPMNs progress to cancer. The objective of this study was to identify the germline genetic variants associated with IPMN clinical progression by conducting the first genome‐wide association study (GWAS) and computing a polygenic hazard ...

Evaluation of the Value of Fine Needle Aspiration Cytology and Cell Morphology in Determining the Histogenesis of Pancreatic Lesions With Review of Literature, Overview and Cytological Experience of 25 Years: Original Research

open access: yesHealth Science Reports, Volume 8, Issue 1, January 2025.
ABSTRACT Background and Aims Benign lesions, inflammation, cysts and pseudocysts, as well as neoplasms of the exocrine and endocrine parts of the pancreas can be easily identified using cytological methods. The sensitivity and specificity can be increased with the help of additional examination methods.
