Case Report: The role of bone scans in detecting Ribbing disease

Frontiers in Nuclear Medicine
In this case, we report the usefulness of bone scintigraphy in evaluating osteoarticular pain when the diagnosis is unclear after standard morphological imaging. A 24-year-old male patient exhibited mild left tibial pain that had been intensifying over a

Indications for Surgical Resection in Patients With Neuroendocrine Tumor Liver Metastases: An Intensive Surgical Experience of a High‐Volume Center

Annals of Gastroenterological Surgery, EarlyView.
In patients with NELM, those with < 8 liver metastases and G1/2 tumors are the favorable candidates for liver resection. The important point of this study is that the patients who do not meet the above criteria should be considered for multidisciplinary treatment because of their extremely shorter recurrence‐free period.

The role of 99mTc-Ubiquicidin (UBI) and 99mTc-IgG scintigraphies in diagnosis of acute appendicitis: A preliminary result [PDF]

, 2014
Introduction: Appendicitis is one of the most common surgical emergencies. In spite of the relatively high rate of negative appendectomy, as a result of miss diagnosis, uncertainty of diagnosis still continues to challenge physicians.

Efficacy of Sequential Hepatic Vein Embolization Following Portal Vein Embolization in Promoting Regeneration of Liver Volume and Function Before Right‐Sided Major Hepatectomy

Annals of Gastroenterological Surgery, EarlyView.
Sequential hepatic vein embolization (HVE) following portal vein embolization (PVE) significantly improves both the volume and function of the future remnant liver (FRL) compared to PVE alone. In this study, the FRL regeneration rates for volume and function were markedly higher and faster in the PVE–HVE group, with no differences in surgical outcomes ...

Time‐Dependent Recovery of Gastric Emptying After Gastrectomy: A 12‐Month Longitudinal Study Using a 13C‐Acetate Breath Test With a Semi‐Solid Meal

Annals of Gastroenterological Surgery, EarlyView.
This study examined time‐dependent changes in gastric emptying after gastrectomy for gastric cancer using a 13C‐acetate breath test with a semi‐solid meal in 95 patients, revealing that gastric emptying was initially delayed at 1 month but significantly accelerated by 12 months postoperatively.
