Efficacy and safety of endoscopic ultrasonography (EUS) hepaticogastrostomy (HGS) versus choledochoduodenostomy (CDS) in ERCP-failed malignant biliary obstruction: A systematic review and META-analysis. [PDF]
Abstract Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) is the gold standard in managing malignant biliary obstruction. The success of ERCP has limitations, whereas surgical biliary bypass and percutaneous transhepatic approaches, as alternative modalities, come with significant costs, longer durations, and higher levels of mortality and ...

Genome sequencing identifies complex structural MLH1 variant in unsolved Lynch syndrome
A family with Lynch syndrome is presented by this article. Standard diagnostic tests, such as panel or exome sequencing, were unable to detect the underlying copy‐number neutral structural genetic variant in MLH1. This case aims to illustrate the advantages of clinical genome sequencing in routine diagnostics in detecting structural variants.

Abstract Background Hepatitis B core antibody (HBcAb) positivity is considered a prior hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection. However, little is known about the effect of HBcAb positivity on surgical safety for hilar cholangiocarcinoma (hCCA). The present study aims to investigate the role of HBcAb positivity on postoperative complications of hCCA ...
