Preoperative imaging and histopathology, immunohistochemistry and molecular analysis after resection of 2 hepatocellular adenomas (HCAs) (20 and 2cm) in a 53-year-old female patient were performed. On imaging, the large lesion resembled a myxoid HCA, while the small lesion resembled a more conventional HCA with a small myxoid/fluid area. On microsc...

Pancreatic cystic neoplasms (PCNs) are being incidentally detected at an increased rate due to increased CT and MRI usage. EUS is an emerging tool that can differentiate between benign and malignant features of pancreatic cysts. We hoped to identify the specific cross-sectional imaging findings and patient characteristics that warrant EUS referral....

Body stuffers routinely receive conservative treatment, i.e. administration of the laxative polyethylene glycol for the passage of ingested drug baggies and observation. Endoscopic baggie removal may offer a safe alternative that could result in shorter hospitalization. We aimed to compare complications, hospital stay, and final outcome in body stu...

We have previously shown increased depression and anxiety scores in postmenopausal overweight women, when compared to overweight premenopausal women. The mechanisms responsible for these alterations are not understood. Although ghrelin involvement in mood modulation has been suggested, its role is still ambiguous and has not been evaluated in postm...

FGF19/FGFR4 autocrine signaling is one of the main targets for multi-kinase inhibitors (MKIs). However, the molecular mechanisms underlying FGF19/FGFR4 signaling in the antitumor effects to MKIs in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) remain unclear. In this study, the impact of FGFR4/ERK signaling inhibition on HCC following MKI treatment was analyzed i...

The treatment plan of colorectal neoplasm differs based on histology. Although new endoscopic imaging systems have been developed, there are clear diagnostic thresholds and requirements in using them. To overcome these limitations, we trained convolutional neural networks (CNNs) with endoscopic images and developed a computer-aided diagnostic (CAD)...

The vesicular nucleotide transporter (VNUT) is responsible for the vesicular storage and release of ATP from various ATP-secreting cells, and it plays an essential role in purinergic signaling. Although extracellular ATP and its degradation products are known to mediate various inflammatory responses via purinoceptors, whether vesicular ATP release...

Telemedicine involves delivering healthcare and preventative care services to patients without the need for in-person encounters. Traditionally, telemedicine has been used for acute events (e.g., stroke, used to relay essential information to the emergency department) and chronic disease management (e.g., diabetes and chronic kidney disease managem...

Although numerous studies have highlighted the prognostic values of various inflammation-related markers, clinical significance remains to be elucidated. The prognostic values of inflammation-related biomarkers for rectal cancer were investigated in this study. A total of 448 patients with stage II/III rectal cancer undergoing curative resection we...
