Biliary intraepithelial neoplasm (BilIN) is characterized by a microscopically identifiable preinvasive neoplasm of the biliary tract. In this study, the high-grade BilIN of gallbladder was examined pathologically and compared with the intracholecystic papillary neoplasm (ICPN) of gallbladder. Sixteen high-grade BilINs (height

Order-of-mutation effects on cancer progression: models for myeloproliferative neoplasm [PDF]
We develop a modeling framework for cancer progression that distinguishes the order of two possible mutations. Recent observations and information on myeloproliferative neoplasms are analyzed within our framework. In some patients with myeloproliferative neoplasms, two genetic mutations can be found, JAK2 V617F and TET2.

Intramural Gallbladder Hematoma Mimicking Gallbladder Neoplasm in a 33-Year-Old Male
We report a case of intramural gallbladder hematoma mimicking gallbladder neoplasm in a 33-year-old male; bleeding was confined to the gallbladder wall without rupture into the lumen. The patient presented with sudden onset of right upper quadrant pain, with no history of abdominal trauma. The abdomen was soft, with mild tenderness over the right upper

RadFormer: Transformers with Global-Local Attention for Interpretable and Accurate Gallbladder Cancer Detection [PDF]
We propose a novel deep neural network architecture to learn interpretable representation for medical image analysis. Our architecture generates a global attention for region of interest, and then learns bag of words style deep feature embeddings with local attention.

Isolation and Characterization of a Cellular Protein-Lipid Complex from Ascites Fluid Caused by Various Neoplasms [PDF]
High concentrations of lipids in ascites fluid caused by peritoneal carcinomatosis have been described recently. Since their nature has not yet been clarified, we isolated ascitic lipids from 25 patients with various neoplasms for further ...
