Clinical Outcomes and Learning Curve of Endoscopic Ultrasound‐Guided Hepaticogastrostomy During the Implementation Phase in Inexperienced Centers: A Multicenter Retrospective Study

open access: yesDEN Open, Volume 6, Issue 1, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Objectives Endoscopic ultrasound‐guided hepaticogastrostomy (EUS‐HGS) is a technically demanding procedure performed predominantly at centers with high expertise. Its feasibility and learning curves in inexperienced centers remain unclear. This study aimed to evaluate the initial clinical outcomes and learning curves of EUS‐HGS implemented in ...

Guidelines for nutrition in adults with head and neck cancer: The American Society for Parenteral and Enteral Nutrition

open access: yesJournal of Parenteral and Enteral Nutrition, Volume 50, Issue 3, Page 274-338, April 2026.
Abstract Background Head and neck cancer represents the seventh most common cancer diagnosis globally. Maintaining sufficient nutrition is important for preventing malnutrition (undernutrition) and muscle wasting, which contribute to worse outcomes, although many patients are unable to maintain adequate oral intake throughout treatment.

Inflammatory Markers Stratify Surgical Outcomes in Pediatric Airway Reconstruction

open access: yesThe Laryngoscope, Volume 136, Issue 4, Page 1920-1927, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Objectives Red blood cell distribution width (RDW) predicts surgical success in adult patients undergoing open airway reconstruction for laryngotracheal stenosis, but similar biomarkers in pediatrics remain unidentified. This study identifies predictors of outcomes in pediatric patients undergoing triple endoscopy or surgical airway ...

The Value of Nasal Nitric Oxide Measurement in the Diagnosis of Primary Ciliary Dyskinesia

open access: yesPediatric Pulmonology, Volume 61, Issue 4, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Nasal nitric oxide (nNO) is widely used as a first‐line test in the diagnostic evaluation of primary ciliary dyskinesia (PCD). Although low nNO is characteristic of classic PCD forms, its diagnostic performance varies across age groups, measurement techniques, and genetic subtypes.

Systematic Review of Nasal Endoscopy Scores in Cystic Fibrosis Patients Treated With Cystic Fibrosis Transmembrane Conductance Regulator Modulators

open access: yesPediatric Pulmonology, Volume 61, Issue 4, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Introduction Cystic fibrosis (CF) is a severe genetic disorder caused by pathogenic variants in the Cystic Fibrosis Transmembrane Conductance Regulator (CFTR) gene, leading to multisystem complications including chronic rhinosinusitis and nasal polyposis. Recent advances in CFTR modulator therapies have revolutionized systemic disease control,
