Image Quality of 1.5 T MRI Using Dual‐Type Deep Learning Reconstruction for Pancreatic Cystic Lesions: An Exploratory Comparison With Conventional 3 T MRI Without Deep Learning Reconstruction

ABSTRACT Background Dual‐type deep learning reconstruction (DLR) may improve the pancreatic MRI image quality; however, the effects of different DLR strengths at 1.5 T compared with the conventional 1.5 T and 3 T MRI without DLR remain unclear. Purpose To evaluate the image quali...

Desmoplastic reaction at the invasive front of upper urinary tract urothelial carcinoma: prognostic impact and associations with tumour invasiveness and immune–inflammatory status

Desmoplastic reaction (DR), characterised by myxoid stroma and keloid-like collagen, is a poor prognostic factor in several types of cancer. We investigated the impact of stromal DR status on recurrence and prognosis in patients with upper urinary tract urothelial carcinoma (UTUC...

Context-dependent lysophosphatidic acid signalling in inflammation: evidence hierarchy, myeloid regulation and translational gaps

BACKGROUND: Lysophosphatidic acid (LPA) has been extensively reviewed in receptor pharmacology, fibrosis, cancer, vascular biology and neural injury. Its role in inflammation remains difficult to interpret because well-replicated pathogenic or pro-remodelling actions coexist with...
