Efficacy of Contrast‐Enhanced Endoscopic Ultrasound in the Diagnosis of Gallbladder Tumor: A Retrospective Multicenter Cohort Study

Journal of Hepato-Biliary-Pancreatic Sciences, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background and Aims Contrast‐enhanced endoscopic ultrasonography (CE‐EUS) provides clearer visualization of wall layer structures in gallbladder nodules than B‐mode EUS. This study aimed to compare the diagnostic performance of B‐mode EUS and CE‐EUS in differentiating benign from malignant gallbladder lesions.

Development and Validation of Nomogram Predicting Survival in Resectable Gallbladder Cancer

Journal of Hepato-Biliary-Pancreatic Sciences, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Gallbladder cancers (GBCs) are aggressive tumors with limited improvement in outcomes over decades. Accurate prediction of survival is crucial for tailored treatment and improved outcomes. Objective To develop a nomogram predicting overall survival (OS) in resectable GBCs.

Optimizing Lymph Node Staging in Gallbladder Cancer: A Cutoff of 11 Nodes for Accurate Staging and Improved Survival

Journal of Hepato-Biliary-Pancreatic Sciences, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Gallbladder cancer (GBC) is an aggressive malignancy in which lymph node (LN) status is a key prognostic factor. Adequate LN retrieval is essential for accurate nodal staging. This study aimed to identify an LN threshold that reduces false node‐negative (false N0) rates and to evaluate its association with overall survival (OS) as ...

Successful endoscopic management of a pediatric intrapancreatic common bile duct stricture following blunt pancreatic trauma: A case report

JPGN Reports, EarlyView.
Abstract Pancreatic and biliary tract injuries from blunt abdominal trauma are rare in children. Common bile duct (CBD) strictures secondary to pancreatic trauma are even more uncommon, and management traditionally involves surgery. We report a 9‐year‐old boy who developed a severe distal intrapancreatic CBD stricture after blunt pancreatic trauma ...

Dietitian‐led very low‐calorie diet for preoperative rehabilitation in patients with obesity awaiting non‐bariatric elective laparoscopic surgery: A retrospective study

Nutrition in Clinical Practice, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Obesity increases the risks and complexity of laparoscopic surgeries. Preoperative very low‐calorie diets (VLCDs) can demonstrate significant preoperative weight loss. However, the optimal VLCD duration remains unclear. Excessive loss of muscle mass associated with VLCDs may elevate surgical and postoperative risks. This study aimed
