Article Abstract
Background: Residual abnormalities on computed tomography enterography (CTE) in Crohn's disease (CD) with endoscopic healing (EH) may have prognostic implications and affect therapeutic strategy.
Methods: CD patients with EH who underwent CTE between March 2015 and June 2022 were enrolled. CTE findings of the terminal ileum and the most severe segment of colon at the time of EH were assessed respectively for each patient. Cox regression analysis and Kaplan-Meier curves were used to evaluate the association between residual abnormalities and adverse outcomes.
Results: A total of 140 patients (217 digestive segments) were included. Mesenteric edema (hazard ratio [HR] = 3.61, 95% CI = 1.81-7.20, P<0.001), fibrofatty proliferation (HR = 3.40, 95% CI = 1.97-5.85, P<0.001) and active small bowel inflammation (HR = 2.74, 95% CI = 1.59-4.71, P<0.001) were risk factors for clinical relapse. Furthermore, we built a scoring system using the three parameters. Radiologic score ≥ 1 was the best threshold to predict clinical relapse (HR = 4.56, 95% CI = 2.54-8.19, P<0.001) and it was validated in different outcomes.
Conclusion: The scoring system based on three residual abnormalities on CTE can predict adverse outcomes in CD patients with EH.

Introduction: Very rare bleeding disorders (VRBDs) are hereditary disorders which cause increased risk of bleeding. In general, VRBDs consists of rare platelet function disorders, very rare coagulation factor deficiencies (other than Factor (F) VIII or FIX) and disorders of the fibrinolytic pathway. The rarity of these disorders along with the scarcity of specialized hemostasis laboratories capable to perform the necessary diagnostic tests, results in significant challenges in diagnosing and monitoring patients with VRBD.

Background: Serial perfusion cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) in symptomatic patients undergoing coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) may provide mechanistic insight into dynamic abnormalities of the myocardium.
Objectives: To assess how changes in cardiac reperfusion and remodelling associate with symptom improvement in patients undergoing CABG METHODS: Patients awaiting elective CABG completed serial quality of life questionnaires and detailed CMR at baseline and at 6-12 months post CABG as per protocol. Automated fully quantitative stress and rest myocardial blood flow was calculated, alongside assessment of the visual ischaemic burden.

Objectives: To report outcomes of complete ultrasound-guided percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL) for horseshoe kidney (HSK) stones at a high-volume center and evaluate a novel technique (Needle-perc-assisted endoscopic surgery, NAES) for these patients.
Patients And Methods: We retrospectively reviewed all HSK stone patients who underwent PCNL at our institution over a 10-year period. The NAES technique was utilized during the most recent 4 years.

Cardiovascular disease remains a major global health challenge, with dyslipidaemia being a key modifiable risk factor. While low density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) is the primary target for lipid-lowering therapies, recent evidence highlights the importance of triglycerides, apolipoprotein B (apoB), and lipoprotein(a) [Lp(a)] for residual cardiovascular risk. Current lipid-lowering therapies target key enzymes and proteins involved in cholesterol and lipid metabolism.

Background: Traditional observational studies suggest that socioeconomic status (SES) may influence the risk of congenital anomalies; however, an association remains unclear due to residual confounding. This study used Mendelian randomization (MR) to explore the potential causal relationship between SES indicators and specific congenital anomalies.
Methods: We performed two-sample MR analyses to explore whether three indicators of SES-educational attainment, household income, and the Townsend Deprivation Index-have a relationship with the risk of major congenital anomalies.
