Efficacy and safety of temporary selective portal vein embolization before major hepatectomy (EMBORES): a phase 2 trial

Background Portal vein embolization (PVE) is routinely used before major hepatectomy to induce hypertrophy of the future liver remnant (FLR) and reduce post-hepatectomy liver failure. Conventional PVE relies on permanent embolic agents, resulting in irreversible portal occlusion,...

Guidelines for Decisions to Withhold or Withdraw Life-Sustaining Treatments (LST) in Adult ICU

OBJECTIVE: The French Society of Anaesthesia and Intensive Care Medicine (Société française d'anesthésie et de réanimation, SFAR) and the French Society of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation (Société Française de Médecine Physique et de Réadaptation (SOFMER)) aimed at providing...

High rates of transition to immune active disease in a cohort of strictly defined immune tolerant patients with chronic hepatitis B: results from the RADICAL consortium

Background Patients with immune tolerant (IT) chronic hepatitis B (CHB) have high viral loads, minimal inflammation and minimal fibrosis. Nevertheless, the benign nature of this phase and the need for antiviral therapy remain controversial. Objective We explored the natural histo...

Morphology-Based Surgery for Chronic Pancreatitis Across Europe: Toward the Next Generation of Unified Guidelines

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the use and impact of current surgical guidelines for chronic pancreatitis (CP) across Europe. SUMMARY BACKGROUND DATA: Current guidelines recommend morphology-based surgery for CP, but international studies evaluating their use and impact are lacking. METH...

From fluid loss to calcification: MRI and CT matrix features in cystic echinococcosis

Abstract Objective To characterize MRI matrix signal and CT calcification patterns across WHO-IWGE stages, compare them with lesion mimicking cystic echinococcosis (CE), and derive an MRI-based subclassification for inactive cysts. Materials and methods This retrospective multice...

Venular-centered thrombo-inflammation drives microvascular failure after arterial recanalization in acute mesenteric ischemia

Abstract Background Acute mesenteric ischemia (AMI) remains associated with high mortality despite prompt revascularization, suggesting that downstream ischemia–reperfusion injury contributes to poor outcomes. However, the microvascular mechanisms underlying this process are not...

Variation in meningioma recurrence risk estimates across observational cohorts: the influence of calendar time, WHO classifications, geographical settings, and healthcare systems

Abstract Purpose Recurrence risk estimates underpin meningioma research, including molecular classification and clinical trial benchmarking, yet are often based on retrospective or historical data. The aim of this study was to assess the variation of recurrence risk estimates acr...

Alcohol and tobacco in cancer: A unified framework of interaction across carcinogenic pathways and cancer types

Background Alcohol and tobacco are among the leading preventable causes of cancer worldwide and frequently co-occur. While both are well-established independent carcinogens, their combined effects remain insufficiently characterized and inconsistently interpreted across cancer ty...
