Article Abstract

Introduction: To compare metachronous colorectal cancer (CRC) and advanced adenoma (AA) risk in patients with proximal vs. distal adenomas.

Methods: We searched Pubmed, Embase, and Cochrane for cohort studies and clinical trials. Proximal adenomas were those located proximal to the descending colon. Pooled incidence rate ratios and 95% confidence intervals (CI) for CRC and AA were calculated using a random-effects model.

Results: Compared with patients with only distal adenomas, patients with any proximal adenoma had a higher risk of metachronous CRC (1.70, 95% CI 1.17-2.45), proximal CRC (3.65, 95% CI 1.57-8.46), and AA (1.82, 95% CI 1.41-2.34).

Discussion: Baseline adenoma proximal location is associated with future detection of CRC and AA.

We report the results of a long-term follow-up series in our center to verify the impact of biologically effective dose (BED) on the efficacy and safety of Gamma Knife radiosurgery (GKS) in the treatment of primary trigeminal neuralgia (TN). A total of 138 consecutive cases of primary TN receiving GKS were included. A 4-mm collimator was used for all cases, and a median central dose of 85 Gy (range 70-90 Gy) was prescribed.

Calcium oxalate (CaOx) stones are prevalent in urinary tract stone disease. While their formation can be induced in rats by administering ethylene glycol and vitamin D, the initial nucleation and formation processes are unclear. Here, we aimed to determine where CaOx crystals initially form, examine the associated histological and morphological changes, and clarify the genes whose expression varies at those sites and their function.

Purpose: Crohn's disease (CD) is characterized by enteric inflammation, often resulting in strictures and penetrating complications, which may alter patient management prior to the initiation of biologic therapy. Our aim is to assess the frequency of missed stricturing and internal penetrating complications in CD patients on computed tomography enterography (CTE) and magnetic resonance enterography (MRE) performed prior to anti-TNF therapy.

Methods: We retrospectively reviewed patients from two tertiary centers who underwent CTE\MRE within six months before starting anti-TNF therapy.

Aim: This study explores the evolving landscape of gastrectomy procedures in Japan, based on nationwide surveys conducted in 2014 and 2021. It highlights changes in surgical approaches, including a growing focus on minimally invasive and function-preserving procedures, as well as the increasing consideration of postoperative quality of life (QOL).

Methods: Two nationwide questionnaire surveys were conducted in 2014 and 2021, targeting members of the Japanese Society for Gastro-surgical Pathophysiology.

Background: To investigate whether endovascular repair of ruptured abdominal aortic aneurysm (RAAA), performed whenever anatomically feasible, would be superior in a real-world registry.

Methods: Retrospective analysis of consecutive RAAA patients treated at the emergency department of a single hospital from January 2011 to December 2023, after implementation of protocol-based care. The variables of interest were hemodynamic stability, proximal neck length, and type of intervention.
