Objective: To evaluate the diagnostic performance of surgical indications of the revised International Association of Pancreatology (IAP) 2023 guidelines compared to the IAP 2017 and European 2018 guidelines.
Summary Background Data: The revised IAP guidelines for surgical indications for branch duct (BD) intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasms (IPMN) include the presence of at least two worrisome features without mandatory endoscopic ultrasound.
Methods: Among 663 patients who underwent resection for pathologically confirmed IPMN in a tertiary hospital between 2013 and 2023, 556 patients with BD or mixed-type IPMN were retrospectively reviewed. Diagnostic performances of the three guidelines for predicting high-grade dysplasia or IPMN with invasive carcinoma were compared. The primary outcome was the malignancy rate. Clinicopathological and radiological imaging data were analyzed.
Results: A total of 540, 451, and 490 patients met the surgical indications of the IAP, 2017, 2023, and European guidelines, respectively. Malignant IPMN was observed in 229 (41.2%) patients (high-grade dysplasia, n=99; invasive carcinoma, n=130). Surgical indication by the IAP 2023 guidelines showed higher specificity (29.1 vs. 4.9%, P<0.001), positive predictive value (48.6 vs. 42.4%, P=0.031), and accuracy (55.5 vs. 44.1%, P<0.001) than the IAP 2017 guidelines. It also had higher specificity than the European guidelines (18.7%, P=0.024). The IAP 2023 guidelines showed a superior AUC of surgical indication (0.623 vs. 0.582 for the European guidelines, P<0.001; and 0.524 for the IAP guidelines, P=0.008).
Conclusions: The IAP 2023 guidelines showed better malignancy prediction than the IAP 2017 and European guidelines, potentially reducing unnecessary surgeries.

Background: Recent studies confirm that intra-abdominal hypertension (IAH) frequently develops in critically ill patients, posing a significant risk of organ failure and increased mortality. Accurate intra-abdominal pressure (IAP) measurement is essential for effective diagnosis, prevention, and treatment. Previous studies indicate that accurate IAP measurement using traditional Foley catheters requires the bladder to be filled with a maximum of 25 mL of sterile saline solution after clamping the catheter, restricting the ability to monitor IAP continuously due to variations in the bladder fill volume.

Objective: The objective of this study is to analyze the main clinical and epidemiological factors related to the risk of malignancy in intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasia of the pancreas in a cohort of patients seen at a referral clinic in Lima, Peru, based on the criteria of the IAP/Fukuoka guidelines.
Materials And Methods: This is a retrospective cohort study, which evaluated patients diagnosed with pancreatic IPMN from December 2015 to August 2023. They were classified according to involvement of the main branch, side branch, and mixed pancreatic ducts, considering aspects such as high-risk stigmata, concerning factors, age, sex, medical history, and others.

Objective: To propose a new classification method based on CT three-dimensional reconstruction for inferior articular process injury following percutaneous endoscopic interlaminar lumbar discectomy (PEID), and to analyze the impact of > 50% inferior articular process(IAP) defect on clinical outcomes.
Methods: A retrospective analysis was conducted on 100 PEID patients. IAP injuries were classified into four types based on CT three-dimensional reconstruction, and the inter- and intra-observer reliability was assessed using the Kappa consistency test.

Invasive neonatal GBS infections constitute a major cause of sepsis and meningitis in Western countries. Vaginal/rectal GBS colonization during pregnancy is the main risk factor for the development of early-onset infections (GBS-EOD) in newborn by vertical transmission at birth, in addition to prematurity and stillbirth. In Italy, intrapartum antibiotic prophylaxis (IAP) to prevent GBS-EOD is offered to pregnant women who tested as GBS-positive in late pregnancy.

Indirect exposure to antibiotics during early life, via maternal intrapartum antibiotic prophylaxis (IAP) or postpartum maternal antibiotic usage, is increasingly common and has been epidemiologically linked to altered growth and immune developmental trajectories in offspring. Nevertheless, the underlying mechanisms remain poorly understood. Here, we explored the effects of antepartum and postpartum maternal ampicillin administration on the dams' fecal microbiome and metabolic profiles Ampicillin caused a reproducible depletion of beneficial bacterial species belonging to the family, including and , and led to cohort-dependent enrichments of and species.
