Compartmental analysis of nuclear imaging data for the quantification of FDG liver metabolism [PDF]
arXiv, 2013 This paper utilizes compartmental analysis and a statistical optimization technique in order to reduce a compartmental model describing the metabolism of labelled glucose in liver. Specifically, we first design a compartmental model for the gut providing as output the tracer concentration in the portal vein. This quantity is then used as one of the two

Long‐Term Nutritional Benefits of Laparoscopic Pancreatoduodenectomy Over Open Surgery
Annals of Gastroenterological Surgery, EarlyView.Minimally invasive laparoscopic pancreaticoduodenectomy (LPD) significantly improves long‐term nutritional outcomes compared to open pancreaticoduodenectomy (OPD). LPD patients demonstrated better preservation of muscle mass index (PMI) and a lower incidence of postoperative fatty liver.

Adenovirus-mediated gene transfer to liver grafts: An improved method to maximize infectivity [PDF]
, 1998 Background. Adenoviral gene therapy in liver transplantation has many potential applications, but current vector delivery methods to grafts lack efficiency and require high titers. In this study, we attempted to improve gene delivery efficacy using three

Two‐Stage Treatment for Adult Large Patent Ductus Venosus
Annals of Gastroenterological Surgery, EarlyView.This is the first report of a two‐stage treatment for an adult large PDV involving the first stage surgical angioplasty of the large Arantius' duct and second stage embolization of the formed small Arantius' duct. The two‐stage approach could avoid embolic material migration into the systemic circulation or acute portal hypertension associated with the

Comparison of conservative treatment versus transcatheter arterial embolisation for the treatment of spontaneously ruptured hepatocellular carcinoma [PDF]
, 2018 Purpose: To elucidate the prognostic factors in the spontaneous rupture of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) and to determine whether transcatheter arterial embolisation (TAE) is associated with better prognosis compared to conservative treatment.

STREAMLINING IN THE PORTAL VEIN
Quarterly Journal of Experimental Physiology and Cognate Medical Sciences, 1954 1. Portal venograms made by injecting 50 or 70 per cent diodone into the spleens of nine dogs and 15 patients were studied for evidence of streamlining in the portal vein.2. Separate streams were visible in only one patient and two dogs.3. The probable factors concerned in the production of streamlining in the portal vein are discussed.

Significance of Intraoperative Lavage Cytology in Perihilar Cholangiocarcinoma
Annals of Gastroenterological Surgery, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Background Perihilar cholangiocarcinoma (PHC) has a poor prognosis, with frequent early metastatic recurrence after curative resection. Peritoneal metastasis (PM) is particularly difficult to diagnose and predict. While intraoperative lavage cytology (CY) is a standard method to detect PM, its utility remains unclear in PHC.

Liver segments: an anatomical rationale for explaining inconsistencies with Couinaud's eight-segment concept [PDF]
, 2018 Background and purpose: An increasing number of surgical and radiological observations call Couinaud's concept of eight liver segments into question and such inconsistencies are commonly explained with anatomical variations.

Annals of Gastroenterological Surgery, EarlyView.This study investigated the utility of the Japanese NCD risk calculator for preoperative assessment in elderly patients undergoing pancreaticoduodenectomy (PD), using a validation study design. In the training cohort, two preoperative factors—the predicted incidence of postoperative ADL decline ≥ 44.8% and Clavien–Dindo grade IV or higher complications
