Newest firstObesity is a chronic disease and a major health concern in the United States. Laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG) is the most common metabolic and bariatric surgery performed in the United States. Complications after sleeve gastrectomy are rare and mostly observed during the acute phase. We present a case of delayed gastric leak after LSG secondary to marijuana consumption. In this case report, we discuss the cl…
Open article record in new tab ↗Magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography (MRCP) is commonly used in humans and is also feasible in cats. The aim of this post-mortem study was to investigate the feasibility of MRCP in eight adult dogs by comparing the visibility and measured diameters of the biliary tract and pancreatic ducts in MRCP with those of fluoroscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (FRCP) and corrosion casting. In autopsy, six do…
Open article record in new tab ↗BackgroundSolid pancreatic lesions are crucial to identify because of their high incidence rate and their poor survival rate. Surgical biopsy, ultrasonography, computed tomography, MRI, and PET-CT are examples of diagnostic tools. Although common, endoscopic ultrasonography guided biopsy carries a risk of needle track seeding. A more effective and affordable method for determining the differential diagnosis of sol…
Background/aims Endoscopic ultrasonography (EUS) is warranted when cross-sectional imaging demonstrates common bile duct (CBD) dilatation without identifiable causes. This study aimed to assess the diagnostic performance of EUS in CBD dilatation of unknown etiology. Methods Retrospective review of patients with dilated CBD without definite causes undergoing EUS between 2012 and 2017. Results A total of 131 patient…
Open article record in new tab ↗Objective To determine the clinical value of high-frequency ultrasonography (US) in the evaluation and diagnosis of pancreaticobiliary maljunction (PBM) among children. Methods The clinical subjects consisted of 31 pediatric patients who were diagnosed with PBM from January 2015 to May 2021 in Fujian Provincial Maternity and Children's Hospital. The primary outcomes included diagnosis accuracy, imaging characteris…
Space and time coherent mapping (STCM) is a technology developed in our laboratory for improved matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization (MALDI) time of flight (TOF) imaging mass spectrometry (IMS). STCM excels in high spatial resolutions, which probe-based scanning methods cannot attain in conventional MALDI IMS. By replacing a scanning probe with a large field laser beam, focusing ion optics, and position-sen…
Open article record in new tab ↗Purpose Our aim was the longitudinal assessment of cyst size in fetuses with biliary cystic malformation (BCM) to explore its etiology and the possibility of antenatal differentiation between biliary atresia (BA) and congenital biliary dilatation (CBD). Methods We conducted a retrospective review of all patients diagnosed antenatally with BCM from 1994 to 2014 at our institutions. Results The study cohort comprise…
Open article record in new tab ↗The laws governing cannabis are evolving worldwide and associated with changing patterns of use. The main psychoactive drug in cannabis is Δ9-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), a partial agonist at the endocannabinoid CB1 receptor. Acutely, cannabis and THC produce a range of effects on several neurocognitive and pharmacological systems. These include effects on executive, emotional, reward and memory processing via dire…
