MRI in cystic pancreatic lesions, is it of value?
Introduction: Cystic pancreatic lesions are currently discovered at higher rate, hence adequate characterization of these lesions by the radiologist is important in guiding management.

Mucinous Cystic Neoplasm of the Pancreas is Not an Aggressive Entity [PDF]
Objective: Mucinous cystic neoplasms (MCNs) of the pancreas have often been confused with intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasms. We evaluated the clinicopathologic characteristics, prevalence of cancer, and prognosis of a large series of well ...

Abstract Background and Aim Endoscopic ultrasound shear wave elastography (EUS‐SWE) can facilitate an objective evaluation of pancreatic fibrosis. Although it is primarily applied in evaluating chronic pancreatitis, its efficacy in assessing early chronic pancreatitis (ECP) remains underinvestigated.

Folding of Pig Gastric Mucin Non-glycosylated Domains: A Discrete Molecular Dynamics Study [PDF]
Mucin glycoprotein consist of tandem repeating glycosylated regions flanked by non-repetitive protein domains with little glycosylation. These non-repetitive domains are involved in the pH dependent gelation of gastric mucin, which is essential to protecting the stomach from autodigestion.

Intraductal Papillary Neoplasms of the Bile Duct [PDF]
Intraductal papillary neoplasm of the bile duct (IPNB) is a rare variant of bile duct tumors characterized by papillary growth within the bile duct lumen and is regarded as a biliary counterpart of intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasm of the pancreas.

A Mucinous Cystic Neoplasm of the Mesocolon Showing Features of Malignancy
Mucinous cystic neoplasms are rare tumours of uncertain histogenesis. They arise from the ovaries, pancreas, and other intra-abdominal sites but more unusually from the mesocolon.

Current status of endoscopic ultrasound in the diagnosis of intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasms
Abstract The new Kyoto guidelines for the management of intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasm (IPMN) provide evidence‐based recommendations for the diagnosis and treatment of IPMN. Endoscopic ultrasonography (EUS) is a diagnostic modality with a high spatial resolution that allows detailed observation and obtaining cyst fluid or tissue samples via ...

Filovirus Glycoprotein Sequence, Structure and Virulence [PDF]
Leading Ebola subtypes exhibit a wide mortality range, here explained at the molecular level by using fractal hydropathic scaling of amino acid sequences based on protein self-organized criticality. Specific hydrophobic features in the hydrophilic mucin-like domain suffice to account for the wide mortality range.

Abstract Peribiliary glands are complex lobular structures containing mucus and serous glands, distributed along the extrahepatic and intrahepatic bile ducts. In this report, we describe a case of intraductal papillary neoplasm of the bile duct suspected to be of peribiliary glands origin.

Background Diagnosis of cystic tumor of the pancreas is based on the World Health Organization criteria that classify pancreatic cystadenomas into four types: intra-ductal papillary mucinous neoplasms, mucinous cystic neoplasms (MCNs), serous cystic ...
