Development and Validation of Nomogram Predicting Survival in Resectable Gallbladder Cancer

Journal of Hepato-Biliary-Pancreatic Sciences, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Gallbladder cancers (GBCs) are aggressive tumors with limited improvement in outcomes over decades. Accurate prediction of survival is crucial for tailored treatment and improved outcomes. Objective To develop a nomogram predicting overall survival (OS) in resectable GBCs.

Optimizing Lymph Node Staging in Gallbladder Cancer: A Cutoff of 11 Nodes for Accurate Staging and Improved Survival

Journal of Hepato-Biliary-Pancreatic Sciences, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Gallbladder cancer (GBC) is an aggressive malignancy in which lymph node (LN) status is a key prognostic factor. Adequate LN retrieval is essential for accurate nodal staging. This study aimed to identify an LN threshold that reduces false node‐negative (false N0) rates and to evaluate its association with overall survival (OS) as ...

Feasibility of Comprehensive Genomic Profiling for Biliary Tract Cancer Using Transpapillary Biopsy Samples: A Prospective Study

Journal of Hepato-Biliary-Pancreatic Sciences, EarlyView.
Graphical summary of the study design, intervention, and outcomes. ABSTRACT Background Patients with biliary tract cancer (BTC) often have actionable mutations, and comprehensive genomic profiling (CGP) plays an important role. However, the feasibility of CGP using transpapillary biopsy (TPB) samples remains unclear.

Comparison Between Respiratory‐Triggered and Free‐Breathing Signal Acquisition Methods for Single‐Voxel Phosphorus Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy of the Liver on a Clinical System

Journal of Magnetic Resonance Imaging, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background The optimal protocol for clinical liver 31P‐magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS) remains unclear. Single‐voxel 31P‐MRS using image‐selected in vivo spectroscopy (ISIS) employs respiratory‐triggering (RT) or free‐breathing (FB) acquisition.

Gallbladder Pseudodiverticulosis Mimicking a Multiseptate Gallbladder with Stones

Gut and Liver, 2009
Gallbladder diverticula have the appearance of hernia-like protrusions of the gallbladder wall. This disorder may not be diagnosed until surgically resected because it has no clinical significance unless there are associated diseases.

Diagnostic Performance of Ultrasound in Adult Appendicitis. A Retrospective Review of 331 Cases

Journal of Medical Radiation Sciences, EarlyView.
The sensitivity of ultrasound in the detection of appendicitis had a prevalence of 16% in our predominantly young female cohort, with alternative gynaecological and abdominal diagnoses identified approximately 2:1. The sensitivity for ultrasound to detect appendicitis was 60%, with specificity of 98% and negative predictive value (NPV) of 93%.

Sonographic Evaluation of Gallbladder Motility in Children with Chronic Functional Constipation

Gut and Liver, 2015
Background/AimsStudies in adults suggest that constipation may not be a purely colonic pathology and may be a component of a generalized gastrointestinal (GI) motor disorder in which proximal GI motility can be impaired.

Gastric duplication cyst causing hypergastrinemia in an infant

JPGN Reports, EarlyView.
Abstract Gastric duplication cysts are rare congenital anomalies, with fewer than 10% occurring in the stomach. We report a 14‐month‐old girl presenting with failure to thrive, recurrent emesis, hematemesis, and severe duodenitis with ulceration. Laboratory evaluation revealed marked hypergastrinemia (1781 pg/mL), and initial imaging was unrevealing ...
