Article Abstract
The aim of our study is to compare the efficacy and safety of "outlet-shape" tailored stents with standard stents for the management of distal gastric cancer causing gastric outlet obstructions (GOOs) with varying gastric cavity shapes and sizes. To determine the shape and size of the GOOs, stomach opacifications were performed using contrast media before stenting. Two basic shapes of the residual cavity of the proximal GOO were observed: cup shaped or approximately cup shaped and funnel shaped or approximately funnel shaped. Other shapes were not found. In the GOO tailored group, the size and shape of the proximal ends of the tailored stent were suited for the residual cavity of the proximal GOO. The tailored stents included large cup-shaped stents and large funnel-shaped stents. GOO tailored covered stents led to less restenosis and reintervention rates compared to standard uncovered stents but with the same survival.

The Korean Society of Thoracic Radiology (KSTR) conducted an assessment on the necessity of low-dose chest CT (LDCT) lung cancer screening for Korean school cafeteria workers. This assessment was prompted by growing concerns about the potential risk of lung cancer due to exposure to carcinogenic cooking fumes. To reach a consensus on various aspects of LDCT screening for Korean school cafeteria workers, thoracic radiologists were involved in a survey that utilized the Delphi method.

Background: The introduction of HIV self-testing (HIVST) kits has revolutionized HIV prevention by offering a confidential and accessible option, particularly for vulnerable groups. Despite this, uptake varies widely due to multiple influencing factors. In Tanzania, where HIV prevalence among women remains high, the determinants of HIVST use are not well understood.

Gastric outlet obstruction (GOO) secondary to malignant bowel obstruction (MBO) presents significant challenges in patients with advanced cancer, often impairing quality of life and nutritional intake. This report discusses a complex case of a 53-year-old male patient with stage IV colon cancer who developed an aortoenteric fistula (AEF) as a rare, life-threatening complication following duodenal stenting for GOO management. The case highlights the multifaceted etiology of AEF, involving prior radiation, chronic inflammation, and infected psoas abscess, culminating in massive gastrointestinal hemorrhage.

Background: Currently, little is known about the relationship between the temporal radiographic latent trajectories, which are based on the extent of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pneumonia and clinical outcomes. This study aimed to elucidate the differences in the temporal trends of critical laboratory biomarkers, utilization of critical care support, and clinical outcomes according to temporal radiographic latent trajectories.
Methods: We enrolled 2,385 patients who were hospitalized with COVID-19 and underwent serial chest radiographs from December 2019 to March 2022.

Neonatal health is dependent on early risk stratification, diagnosis, and timely management of potentially devastating conditions, particularly in the setting of prematurity. Many of these conditions are poorly predicted in real-time by clinical data and current diagnostics. Umbilical cord blood may represent a novel source of molecular signatures that provides a window into the state of the fetus at birth.
