Hypervision Proton Surgery: The Future Direction of Proton Therapy

iNew Medicine, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Proton beams provide unique physical advantages characterized by a low entrance dose, negligible exit dose, and a sharp Bragg peak, which enable superior sparing of normal tissues and support safe dose escalation for improved tumor control. However, conventional photon‐based fractionation remains widely used in proton therapy, where prolonged ...

Surrogate measure of gut blood flow via superior mesenteric circulation on ultrasound in adults who underwent esophagectomy: A descriptive cohort study

Journal of Parenteral and Enteral Nutrition, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Early enteral nutrition is recommended for critically ill patients. However, feeding an ischemic gastrointestinal tract with enteral nutrition may lead to gut necrosis. Although gut tolerance of enteral nutrition is assessed by various symptoms, none of them provide conclusive evidence of gut ischemia. We investigated the blood flow

Interrater reliability in pediatric high‐resolution anorectal manometry recordings

Journal of Pediatric Gastroenterology and Nutrition, EarlyView.
Abstract Objectives High‐resolution anorectal manometry (HR‐ARM) is a diagnostic test assessing anorectal neuromuscular function in children with constipation and/or fecal incontinence. Interrater reliability of HR‐ARM in children has not been previously studied. The aim of this study was to assess the interrater reliability of pediatric HR‐ARM studies.

Gastric antral vascular ectasia: A rare etiology of gastrointestinal bleeding in children

JPGN Reports, EarlyView.
Abstract Gastrointestinal bleeding is relatively common in children. While most patients present with mild bleeding, gastric antral vascular ectasia (GAVE) is a rare but potentially life‐threatening cause. GAVE is typically associated with chronic conditions and more common in adults.

Diagnostic dilemma of cystic biliary atresia: A series of two cases and brief review of the diagnostic modalities

JPGN Reports, EarlyView.
Abstract Cystic biliary atresia (CBA) is a rare variant of biliary atresia that closely resembles choledochal cyst (CC), complicating diagnosis and potentially delaying critical surgical intervention. We report two cases of CBA that were difficult to diagnose.

Pediatric vascular compression of the esophagus: Endoluminal functional lumen imaging probe as a complement to imaging and endoscopy

JPGN Reports, EarlyView.
Abstract Objectives Vascular anomalies can cause extrinsic esophageal compression, leading to dysphagia or feeding difficulties in children. Diagnosis typically relies on imaging and endoscopy, which may under‐ or overestimate functional narrowing. Endoluminal functional lumen imaging probe (EndoFLIP) provides luminal parameters in real‐time, but its ...

Potential value of using pH‐impedance monitoring to evaluate for rumination syndrome in children

JPGN Reports, EarlyView.
Abstract Objectives pH‐impedance monitoring (pH‐MII) is often used to evaluate severity and type of gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). The Nakagawa rumination score, which is derived using data from pH‐MII, has been proposed as a metric to diagnose rumination syndrome in adults. However, this approach has not been validated in children. Esophageal
