A Bioinformatic Approach Validated Utilizing Machine Learning Algorithms to Identify Relevant Biomarkers and Crucial Pathways in Gallbladder Cancer [PDF]
Gallbladder cancer (GBC) is the most frequent cause of disease among biliary tract neoplasms. Identifying the molecular mechanisms and biomarkers linked to GBC progression has been a significant challenge in scientific research. Few recent studies have explored the roles of biomarkers in GBC.

Effect of cystic fibrosis modulator therapies on serum levels of fat‐soluble vitamins
Abstract This is a prospective, multicenter study of a cohort of 224 cystic fibrosis (CF) patients treated with CF transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) modulators (CFTRm). Our aim was to prospectively analyze the effect of CFTRm treatment on fat‐soluble vitamin serum levels.

Canine and feline P‐glycoprotein deficiency: What we know and where we need to go
Abstract In 2001 the molecular genetic basis of so‐called “ivermectin sensitivity” in herding breed dogs was determined to be a P‐glycoprotein deficiency caused by a genetic variant of the MDR1 (ABCB1) gene often called “the MDR1 mutation.” We have learned a great deal about P‐glycoprotein's role in drug disposition since that discovery, namely that P ...

ABSTRACT Background Patients in low‐ and middle‐income countries (LMICs) are disproportionately affected by liver cancers but there is a lack of understanding of their postoperative outcomes. This study aimed to review the current status of research in LMICs regarding outcomes after oncologic hepatectomy and synthesize the data reported in the ...

Development of extrahepatic bile ducts and mechanisms of tumorigenesis: Lessons from mouse models
Abstract The biliary system is a highly branched tubular network consisting of intrahepatic bile ducts (IHBDs) and extrahepatic bile ducts (EHBDs). IHBDs are derived from hepatic progenitor cells, while EHBDs originate directly from the endoderm through a separate branching morphogenetic process.

LQ-Adapter: ViT-Adapter with Learnable Queries for Gallbladder Cancer Detection from Ultrasound Image [PDF]
We focus on the problem of Gallbladder Cancer (GBC) detection from Ultrasound (US) images. The problem presents unique challenges to modern Deep Neural Network (DNN) techniques due to low image quality arising from noise, textures, and viewpoint variations.

Clinical problems caused by obesity [PDF]
Over the past few decades the incidence of obesity has doubled worldwide and current estimates classify more than 1.5 billion adults as overweight and at least 500 million of them as clinically obese, with body mass index (BMI) over 25 kg/m2 and 30 kg ...

ABSTRACT Background Biliary tract cancers (BTCs) represent distinct biological and genomic entities. Anatomic and geographic heterogeneity in genomic profiling of BTC subtypes, genomic co‐alterations, and their impact on long‐term outcomes are not well defined.
