Gallstone ileus

Journal of the Belgian Society of Radiology, 2010
Gallstone ileus is a rare disease, which is responsible for about 1%-4% of all cases of mechanical obstruction. The findings of gallstone ileus on computed tomography (CT) are pathognomonic. The morbidity and mortality rate remain very high, mainly because of delayed diagnosis.

Pigment Epithelium‐Derived Factor Deficiency Impairs Hippocampal Glutamate Homeostasis and Cognitive Function by Downregulating Astrocytic GLT‐1

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
The chronic glutamate‐induced excitotoxicity hypothesis has profoundly informed the therapeutic strategies employed in Alzheimer’s disease (AD). This study shows pigment epithelium‐derived factor (PEDF) regulates astrocytic glutamate transporter‐1 (GLT‐1)‐mediated glutamate homeostasis and cognition. Reduced PEDF correlates with lower Mini‐Mental State

Investigation into the Pancreatic Pathogenesis of SFTSV across Multiple Levels

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
A retrospective analysis revealed that 17.6% of severe fever with thrombocytopenia syndrome (SFTS) patients met the diagnostic criteria for clinically confirmed pancreatitis. Using human pancreatic organoids and murine models demonstrated that SFTSV exhibits a specific pancreatic tropism, leading to cell death and initiating a strong inflammatory ...

Activation of the Hypoxia Inducible Factor 1α Subunit Pathway in Steatotic Liver Contributes to Formation of Cholesterol Gallstones.

Gastroenterology, 2017
BACKGROUND & AIMS Hypoxia-inducible factor 1α subunit (HIF1A) is a transcription factor that controls the cellular response to hypoxia and is activated in hepatocytes of patients with nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). NAFLD increases the risk for

Fluorescence Guided Surgery in Gastric Cancer: What Do We Have and What Can We Do?

Annals of Gastroenterological Surgery, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background and Objective Fluorescence imaging has emerged as a valuable adjunct in gastric surgery, enhancing resection precision and oncologic outcomes. However, the use of indocyanine green (ICG) remains controversial due to uncertainties in efficacy and administration. A lack of standardized protocols persists.
