Multiple Hepatic and Osseous Focal Lesions without Splenomegaly and/or Lymph Nodes Enlargement

1. Abstract 1.1. Background: Hepatic involvement is a common extranodal manifestation of common and some rare hematologic malignancies. Although the imaging features of more common hepatic diseases such as hepatocellular carcinoma, metastases, and infection may overlap with those of hepatic hematologic malignancies, combining the imaging features with clinical manifestations and laboratory findings can facilitate correct …

Peptic Ulcer Associated with Polycythemia Rubra Vera: A Case Report

1. Abstract Polycythemia Vera (PV) is a blood disorders known as myeloproliferative disease. Gastric and duodenal ulcer is a frequent disease among population but rarely is a complication of myeloproliferative disorders. Its main etiologies are inbalance of gastric acid secretion and mucosa protection. The complication of PV by an ulcer is a possible but not …

Cancer from an Unknown Primary Source

1. Abstract The diagnosis of Cancer of Unknown Primary is difficult even in the present era of modern medicine. The incidence is closed to 2-5% of all epithelial cancers. There is no concrete explanation behind the development of these cancers, however, recent studies suggested the role of chromosomal abnormalities and neoangiogenesis in the development. Overall, …

Diagnostic Evaluation of Endoscopic Ultrasonography with and without Submucosal Saline Injection for Differentiating Between T1a and T1b Early Gastric Cancer

1. Abstract 1.1. Background Endoscopic ultrasonography (EUS) has become a reliable method for predicting the invasion depth of early gastric cancer (EGC). However, diagnostic accuracy of EUS is affected by several factors. In particular, it is difficult to differentiate between T1a and T1b EGC through EUS. The aim of this study was to confirm whether …

Preoperative Score to Stratify Recurrence Risk After Curative Resection of Resectable Pancreatic Ductal Adenocarcinoma: A Retrospective Cohort Study

1. Abstract 1.1. Background Oncological survival after operation of resectable pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (R-PDAC) is variable depending on various factors. Preoperative risk stratification could guide decision-making in multidisciplinary treatment concepts. We develop and validate a prognostic score for disease-free survival (DFS) in R-PDAC to solve this issue.

Prediction of Effective Percutaneous Transhepatic Biliary Drainage in Patients with Hepatocellular Carcinoma

1. Abstract 1.1. Purpose Percutaneous transhepatic biliary drainage (PTBD) does not always lead to a reduction in serum total bilirubin level (TBil) in patients with hepatocellular carcinoma who have Hepatitis B virus-related cirrhosis and obstructive jaundice. We aimed to develop a model for pre-PTBD prediction of post-procedural TBil decrease in these patients.

Coexistence of Infantile Crohn and Humoral Immunodeficiency: A Case Report

1. Abstract Infantile inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is a kind of IBD that begins in early childhood. However, this subgroup is rare, it is important to detect these patients early. Infantile IBD patients may have more surgical interventions and have a greater failure rate of standard therapy. In this disorder, monogenic mutations are essential. We …
