Article Abstract
Background And Aims: Endoscopic papillectomy (EP) is the standard treatment for noninvasive ampullary lesions (ALs), whereas advanced cases require surgery. Managing ALs is challenging and may lead to over- or undertreatment. We developed a score to identify the best candidates for endoscopic or surgical treatment.
Methods: We analyzed 447 patients who underwent EP. The cohort was randomly split into a training set (n = 325) and validation set (n = 122). Logistic regression identified predictors for incomplete resection (R1), which were incorporated into a 4-item score. Performance was assessed using the area under the receiver-operating characteristic curve (AUROC).
Results: Independent predictors for R1 included size ≥30 mm (S), high-grade dysplasia and/or invasive cancer (D), laterally spreading-lesion (L), and bile or pancreatic duct dilation (D), which we named the SDLD score. ALs with 0 to 1 points had the highest complete resection rates (training, 86.0%; validation, 88.5%), whereas ≥2 points significantly increased R1 rates (training, 52.0%; validation, 57.7%; P < .001). The AUROC was 0.792 (training) and 0.708 (validation).
Conclusions: The SDLD score predicts R1 in EP and aids in treatment decisions.

Objectives: In interventional bronchial artery embolization (BAE), periprocedural cone beam CT (CBCT) improves guiding and localization. However, a trade-off exists between 6-second runs (high radiation dose and motion artifacts, but low noise) and 3-second runs (vice versa). This study aimed to determine the efficacy of an advanced deep learning denoising (DLD) technique in mitigating the trade-offs related to radiation dose and image quality during interventional BAE CBCT.

Aim: Chronic radiation proctitis (CRP) develops in 5-15% of patients after pelvic radiation therapy, with rectal bleeding being the main symptom. Reports suggest that argon plasma coagulation (APC) can be an effective therapy for CRP following radiotherapy for prostate cancer, but there is less information about how useful it is after radiotherapy for gynaecological malignancy. The aim of this work therefore was to study the efficacy of APC for CRP after radiotherapy for gynaecological malignancy.

Background: Quantitative computed tomography (CT) analysis has been proposed as a means of objectively assessing fibrotic interstitial pneumonia (IP) including idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF). We investigated whether percentages of high-attenuation areas (HAA%) and cystic areas (CA%) quantified from CT images were useful as indices of fibrotic IP.
Methods: CT images of 74 patients with fibrotic idiopathic interstitial pneumonias (IPF, 36; non-specific interstitial pneumonia, 9; unclassifiable idiopathic interstitial pneumonia, 29) were analyzed via in-house computer software, which automatically calculated HAA%, CA%, mean lung density (MLD), standard deviation of lung density (SD-LD), kurtosis, and skewness from CT attenuation histograms.
