Article Abstract

Background/aims: Acid-suppressive drugs, such as proton pump inhibitors (PPIs), are treatment options for functional dyspepsia (FD). However, the efficacy of potassium-competitive acid blockers (P-CABs) in treating FD has not yet been established. This prospective multicenter clinical trial-based study aimed to assess the efficacy and safety of tegoprazan as a P-CAB treatment in patients with FD.

Methods: FD was diagnosed using the Rome IV criteria. All patients received tegoprazan 50 mg once daily for 8 weeks. Dyspeptic symptoms were assessed using a dyspepsia symptom questionnaire (5-point Likert scale, Nepean Dyspepsia Index-Korean [NDI-K], and gastroesophageal reflux disease-health-related quality of life [GERD-HRQL]). The main outcome was satisfactory symptom relief rates at 8 weeks.

Results: In this study, from the initial screening of 209 patients, 173 were included in the per-protocol set analysis. Satisfactory symptom relief rates at 8 and 4 weeks were 86.7% and 74.6%, respectively. In addition, the NDI-K and GERD-HRQL scores significantly improved at 8 and 4 weeks compared with the baseline scores. The efficacy of tegoprazan was not influenced by the FD subtype or status. In patients with overlapping FD and GERD, there was a greater improvement in the NDI-K and GERD-HRQL scores than in patients with FD symptoms only. No serious drug-related adverse events occurred during this study.

Conclusion: Tegoprazan (50 mg) administered once daily provided satisfactory symptom relief for FD.

Aim: The purpose of this study was to assess the accuracy of a customized deep learning model based on CNN and U-Net for detecting and segmenting the second mesiobuccal canal (MB2) of maxillary first molar teeth on cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) scans.

Methodology: CBCT scans of 37 patients were imported into 3D slicer software to crop and segment the canals of the mesiobuccal (MB) root of the maxillary first molar. The annotated data were divided into two groups: 80% for training and validation and 20% for testing.

Talus is the second largest bone in the posterior region of the foot and participates in the talocrural (ankle), subtalar, and talonavicular joints. Talar fractures account for only one percent of all feet and ankle fractures, being the fracture of the medial tubercle of the posterior process of the talus an uncommon injury, caused by the rupture of the posterior talotibial ligament after dorsiflexion and traumatic pronation. Such fractures may not be radiographically evident, as described in this rare case of fracture of the medial tubercle of the posterior process of the talus with a satisfactory outcome without the need for surgical treatment.

Purpose: Sepsis has high mortality and progresses rapidly, requiring early diagnosis; traditional scoring and lab parameters are limited in non-ICU settings, highlighting the need for biomarker integration and continuous monitoring to enhance diagnostic accuracy.

Patients And Methods: A retrospective analysis of 1,098 patients at Taizhou Hospital of Zhejiang Province identified sepsis and non-sepsis groups per Sepsis 3.0 criteria, Logistic regression analyses were used to identify the risk factors.

Splenic pseudocysts represent an uncommon condition in abdominal surgery, generally resulting from trauma, infection, or ischemic processes. Histologically, they are characterized by the absence of an epithelial lining; that is, they lack the inner layer of cells typically found in true cysts. Its clinical presentation is non-specific, commonly manifesting with abdominal pain, early satiety, or alterations in bowel habits, which lead to late or incidental diagnoses through imaging studies.

Comparative clinical efficacy of nickel-titanium shape memory staples versus miniplate for Bartoníček-Rammelt type III and IV posterior malleolar fractures. A retrospective analysis of 47 consecutive patients treated between January 2022 and June 2024 documented operative time, intraoperative blood loss, fluoroscopy times, healing time, complications, postoperative fracture gap distance (mm), and articular surface step-off (mm) at the ankle joint. Ankle function was assessed using the American Orthopaedic Foot and Ankle Society (AOFAS) ankle-hindfoot score, the Manchester-Oxford Foot Questionnaire (MOXFQ), and range of motion measurements at 3, 6, 12, and 14 months.
