Newest firstIntroduction The American Society for Gastrointestinal Endoscopy (ASGE) guidelines for common bile duct (CBD) stone management were created to risk stratify patients into low, intermediate, and high-risk groups to optimize interventions. Low-risk patients typically proceed to cholecystectomy with or without Intra-operative cholangiogram (IOC) whereas high-risk patients typically proceed to common duct clearance. T…
Open article record in new tab ↗Neuroinflammation play an important role in Alzheimer's disease pathogenesis. Advances in molecular imaging using positron emission tomography have provided insights into the time course of neuroinflammation and its relation with Alzheimer's disease central pathologies in patients and in animal disease models. Recent single-cell sequencing and transcriptomics indicate dynamic disease-associated microglia and astro…
Open article record in new tab ↗Background/aims When computed tomography (CT) does not indicate choledocholithiasis in highly suspicious patients, there is no definite consensus on the subsequent modality. Endoscopic ultrasonography (EUS) indicates fewer procedure-related complications than endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) and has a lower cost than magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography. Therefore, we aimed to investiga…
Background The diagnosis of associated choledocholithiasis prior to cholecystectomy for patients with gallstones is important for the surgical decision and treatment efficacy. However, whether ultrasound is sufficient for preoperative diagnosis of choledocholithiasis remains controversial, with different opinions on whether routine magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography (MRCP) is needed to detect the possible…
Open article record in new tab ↗To find whether the plasma fibronectin (FN) molecular status can be useful to differentiate between rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). The expression of plasma FN domains was determined by ELISA using monoclonal domain-specific antibodies. FN molecular forms were revealed by immunoblotting and analyzed by densitometry. The following findings were found: (1) Mean values of (Fibrin-Hep…
Open article record in new tab ↗Purpose There are risks of common bile duct (CBD) stones in acute cholecystitis, and there is a move among surgeons to identify choledocholithiasis before surgery. Magnetic resonance cholangiopancreaticography (MRCP) has the potential to accurately detect choledocholithiasis in patients with acute cholecystitis. The aim of this study was to evaluate the predictive values of MRCP and elevated biochemical predictors…
