Barriers to Medical Care Are Frequently Reported by Patients With Cirrhosis

Alimentary Pharmacology &Therapeutics, Volume 63, Issue 8, Page 1162-1168, April 2026.
In a telephone‐based survey study among > 1000 patients with cirrhosis, the most frequent barriers to care included time to travel to clinic, long wait times for appointments, and difficulty scheduling visits. Several barriers to care significantly differed by study site but were generally consistent across racial and ethnic subgroups.

Neural and Mechanical Adaptations During Static Stretching With Different Amplitudes

European Journal of Neuroscience, Volume 63, Issue 7, April 2026.
Prolonged static stretching elicits biphasic modulation of spinal excitability characterized by initial suppression followed by progressive facilitation that is amplitude‐dependent, with supramaximal stretching producing greater neural adaptations in both soleus and gastrocnemius muscles.

Diagnostic utility of renal shear wave elastography and renal Doppler findings in diabetic nephropathy: a case–control study

The Egyptian Journal of Radiology and Nuclear Medicine
Background Diabetes mellitus is a common systemic disease that affects the kidneys and could eventually develop an end-stage renal failure. Renal biopsy is considered a gold standard for histological characterization of diabetic nephropathy, of which ...

The Hepatic Steatosis Diagnostic Performance Using Attenuation Imaging With the Magnetic Resonance Imaging‐Based Proton Density Fat Fraction as the Reference Standard: A Large, Prospective, Multicenter Cohort Study in Japan

Hepatology Research, Volume 56, Issue 4, Page 457-466, April 2026.
In a multicenter cohort of 1059 patients, attenuation imaging (ATI) showed good diagnostic performance and strong correlation with MRI‐PDFF, supporting its value as a noninvasive method for evaluating hepatic steatosis. ABSTRACT Background Attenuation imaging (ATI) is used for the noninvasive diagnosis of hepatic steatosis (HS) based on the ultrasound ...

Endoscopic Ultrasound for the Management of Pancreatic Neuroendocrine Tumors: Diagnosis, Treatment, and Future Perspectives

Journal of Gastroenterology and Hepatology, Volume 41, Issue 4, Page 1173-1190, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors (PanNETs) are increasingly diagnosed, reflecting greater clinical awareness, improved imaging, and revised classification. This review summarizes evidence on epidemiology, diagnostic workup, and endoscopic ultrasound (EUS)–guided management of PanNETs, encompassing diagnostic evaluation, tissue acquisition, and
