Screening strategies for the early detection of non-cardia gastric cancer in low- to moderate-prevalence regions: Asia-Pacific gastroesophageal cancer congress consensus 2026

Abstract Background Gastric cancer (GC) remains a major global health burden, and early detection is essential for improving patient outcomes. Although GC screening has been widely implemented in East Asian countries with a high disease burden, the optimal screening strategy for...

Dual-Energy Computed Tomography Versus Conventional Magnetic Resonance In-Phase/Opposed-Phase Imaging for Liver Fat Fraction Quantification: A Retrospective Cohort Study

Background/Objectives: Multiple imaging modalities are available for non-invasive hepatic fat quantification. We performed a hypothesis-generating methods-comparison study to compare liver fat fraction (FF) measurements obtained using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in-phase/opp...

Evaluation of Intervention Strategies to Improve Follow-Up Colonoscopy After Abnormal FIT/FOBT Result

Importance Colorectal cancer is the second leading cause of cancer mortality worldwide. Early detection through screenings has been shown to improve morbidity and mortality. While fecal immunochemical test (FIT) or fecal occult blood test (FOBT) are established cost-effective scr...

Early functional recovery following accelerated rehabilitation after arthroscopic anterior talofibular ligament repair

Background Postoperative rehabilitation following anterior talofibular ligament (ATFL) repair commonly incorporates an initial period of protection with progressive weight-bearing and range of motion. Accelerated rehabilitation may facilitate earlier functional recovery, but clin...

Terminal discharge of the imminently dying from hospital to home: A realist evaluation

Background: Rapid terminal discharge home is increasingly prevalent, yet processes remain inconsistent and stressful for both clinicians and families. A harmonised ‘compassionate discharge’ protocol was collaboratively developed by providers across settings to improve overall exp...

Characterisation of liver disease using quantitative MRI: report of the imaging arm of the ELEGANCE study

Evolving disease aetiology and rising prevalence of chronic liver disease are driving an increase in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Non-contrast quantitative MRI (qMRI) has shown promising capability for characterising liver health and risk of liver related outcomes, but has not...

Erector spinae plane block in bariatric surgery: a systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials with trial sequence analysis

The use of erector spinae plane (ESP) block has been reported to decrease opioid requirements for patients undergoing bariatric and metabolic surgeries (BMS). We aim to systematically review and examine the evidence for the use of ESP block in BMS. MEDLINE, Embase, Scopus, and CE...
