Gastric Distension Index: A Novel Radiographic Marker Associated With Postoperative Gastric Stasis After Gastrectomy

Annals of Gastroenterological Surgery, EarlyView.
This study introduces the Hiki Index (HI), a novel radiographic metric based on upright abdominal X‐rays, to objectively assess postoperative gastric dilatation after gastrectomy. The HI demonstrated strong predictive value for gastrointestinal symptoms and the need for therapeutic intervention, offering a practical tool for early detection and ...

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.

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 ...

Accurate quantification of pulmonary perfusion ratio in children with congenital heart disease using partial volume corrected 4D flow cardiac magnetic resonance

Frontiers in Pediatrics
BackgroundIn children with congenital heart disease (CHD), lung scintigraphy is the reference standard for evaluation of pulmonary perfusion. 4D flow CMR offers a non-ionizing alternative.

Impact of Gas Flow and Humidity on Trans-Nasal Aerosol Deposition via Nasal Cannula in Adults: A Randomized Cross-Over Study

Pharmaceutics, 2019
Background: Trans-nasal pulmonary aerosol delivery using high flow nasal cannula (HFNC) devices is described with the administration of high gas flows exceeding patient inspiratory flow (HF) and with lower flows (LF). The aim of this pilot clinical trial

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.

Biocompatibility and healing patterns in experimentally induced canine tibial fractures using Pedicle screw‐Rod external fixation

Animal Models and Experimental Medicine, EarlyView.
This study demonstrates that using a Pedicle screw‐Rod configuration for the external fixation of non‐articular tibial osteotomy aligns well with the principles of biological osteosynthesis, resulting in secondary bone healing characterized by callus formation and neovascularization.

The diagnostic yield of non-invasive testing features in cardiac amyloidosis

Nuclear Medicine Review
BACKGROUND: Cardiac amyloidosis (CA) is a progressive disease in which amyloid fibrils infiltrate the heart muscle. This study aimed to identify features from cardiac biomarkers, electrocardiography (ECG), and echocardiography that may distinguish ...

Use of radionuclide studies in the preparation of patients for liver transplantation and in the postoperative period

Трансплантология (Москва), 2018
The data summarized in this review suggest that radionuclide studies are highly effective in the clinical situations that the structure and function of the liver should be simultaneously evaluated, which is in full measure appropriate for liver ...

Comparison of Fixed‐Dose Clopidogrel/Asetylsalicylic Acid Combination and Standard Loading Strategy During Percutaneous Coronary Intervention in Chronic Coronary Syndrome

Catheterization and Cardiovascular Interventions, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT), comprising acetylsalicylic acid and a P2Y12 receptor inhibitor such as clopidogrel, is the cornerstone of management in patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). While conventional loading doses of acetylsalicylic acid and clopidogrel are well established, there is limited ...
