A CT-Based 3D Anatomical Mapping Study of Right Posterior Portal and Hepatic Venous Patterns: Revisiting Liver Segmentation and Its Surgical Implication

Background: Classical Couinaud’s segmentation assumes the dichotomous division of the right posterior portal vein (RPPV) into P6 and P7. However, increasing imaging evidence suggests substantial anatomical variability, limiting the intraoperative identification of segmental borde...

Associations of prior fracture site with physical function and daily living in older adults without certified long-term care needs: insights from a community-based survey

Fractures are a major health concern among older adults and may contribute to declines in physical function and independence. However, their impact may differ by anatomical site. This study examined associations between fracture site and health status, including physical function...

Clinical Impact of Gleason Pattern 5 on Doublet Versus Triplet Therapy in Metastatic Hormone‐Sensitive Prostate Cancer

BACKGROUND: Upfront treatment intensification with androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) plus an androgen receptor pathway inhibitor has become a standard approach for metastatic hormone-sensitive prostate cancer (mHSPC). However, prognosis remains poor for some patients despite sec...
