Multifactor Risk Stratification for Post‐Transplant Alcohol Relapse Using Abstinence, Psychosocial, and Socioeconomic Factors

Annals of Gastroenterological Surgery, EarlyView.
Alcohol relapse after liver transplantation is difficult to predict using abstinence duration alone. We developed a multifactor model integrating abstinence duration, psychosocial risk (SIPAT), and socioeconomic context (AUC 0.70). This approach may support individualized risk assessment and tailored follow‐up intensity; external validation is needed ...

Organ at Risk Segmentation in Head and Neck CT Images Using a Two-Stage Segmentation Framework Based on 3D U-Net

IEEE Access, 2019
Accurate segmentation of organs at risk (OARs) plays a critical role in the treatment planning of image-guided radiotherapy of head and neck cancer. This segmentation task is challenging for both humans and automated algorithms because of the relatively ...

Preoperative Computed Tomography Colonography‐Angiography for Vascular Mapping to Guide and Standardize D3 Lymphadenectomy in Right‐Sided and Transverse Colon Cancer

Annals of Gastroenterological Surgery, EarlyView.
This study utilized high‐resolution CT colonography‐angiography to systematically classify vascular branching patterns in 591 patients. We defined four reproducible anatomical patterns each for right hemicolectomy and transverse colectomy, demonstrating that an independent‐origin middle colic artery consistently predicts shorter dissection distances ...

Diagnostic Accuracy of Size‐Based Preoperative CT Assessment for Predicting Lymph Node Metastasis in Colon Cancer: A Systematic Review and Meta‐Analysis

Annals of Gastroenterological Surgery, EarlyView.
Preoperative CT based on lymph node size shows moderate accuracy for detecting nodal metastasis in colon cancer. In this meta‐analysis of 29 studies (5,634 patients), pooled sensitivity and specificity were 0.69 and 0.66. Size‐based CT alone has limited value for clinical decision‐making.
