This study analyzes gut bacteria in cholangiocarcinoma patients, revealing distinct microbial signatures that enable accurate disease detection. Species‐based diagnostic models achieved over 98% accuracy in identifying cholangiocarcinoma and distinguished it from other liver diseases. The research demonstrates that specific beneficial bacteria suppress

Incidence, Risk Factors, and Time Trends for Bile Leakage After Cholecystectomy for Gallstone Disease-Results From a Population-Based Cohort Study. [PDF]
Bile leakage is a severe complication after cholecystectomy and is associated with an increased risk of morbidity and mortality. The aim of this study was to evaluate the incidence of bile leakage post‐cholecystectomy and to identify potential risk factors and their association with changes in the incidence of bile leakage over time.
