Background: Long-term therapy with nucleos(t)ide analogs (NUCs) is inevitable for chronic hepatitis B (CHB) patients. However, how NUC therapy on the developing Alzheimer's disease (AD) in these patients remains controversial.
Methods: This retrospective cohort study used the Korean National Health Insurance Service claims database from January 1, 2013, to December 31, 2013, treatment naïve CHB patients and those without previously diagnosed with AD.
Microwave ablation vs. liver resection for patients with hepatocellular carcinomas.
J Liver Cancer
March 2025
Backgrounds/aims: Microwave ablation (MWA) is an emerging ablative therapy that surpasses previous methods by achieving higher temperatures and creating larger ablation zones within shorter periods. This study compared the therapeutic outcomes of MWA with those of liver resection in real-world clinical practice.
Methods: A total of 178 patients with 259 nodules who underwent MWA or liver resection between January 2015 and July 2023 were enrolled.
Background/aims: Colonic stenting plays a vital role in the management of acute malignant colonic obstruction. The increasing use of self-expandable metal stents (SEMS) and the diverse challenges posed by colonic obstruction at various locations underscore the importance of effective training for colonic stent placement.
Methods: All the components of the simulator were manufactured using silicone molding techniques in conjunction with three-dimensional (3D) printing.
Article Synopsis
- - The study investigates the potential link between adenoidectomy (a surgical procedure to remove adenoid tissue) and the risk of developing Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD), specifically Crohn's disease (CD) and ulcerative colitis (UC) among children, in the context of the role of gut-associated lymphoid tissue in immune modulation.
- - A pooled meta-analysis was conducted between multiple observational studies, and results showed a significant association between appendicectomy and CD, while there was a notable association between tonsillectomy and CD as well, but no significant link to UC from appendicectomy.
- - The findings suggest that while removing adenoid or tonsil tissue may be linked to an increased risk of CD
Five-year Progress of Gastric MALT Lymphoma Presenting as Gastric Outlet Obstruction.
Korean J Gastroenterol
June 2023
This paper reports a 70-year-old female with gastric extranodal marginal zone B cell lymphoma of mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (gastric MALT lymphoma) as a rare case of gastric outlet obstruction. Five years earlier, she initially presented with weight loss and anemia. Esophagogastroduodenoscopy (EGD) revealed multiple gastric and duodenal ulcers with a pyloric deformity, while histology revealed chronic active inflammation and a () infection.
