Risk of metachronous esophageal squamous cell carcinoma after endoscopic submucosal dissection in patients with multiple Lugol-voiding lesions: a long-term study

Abstract Multiple Lugol-voiding lesions (LVLs) confer a high risk of metachronous multiple esophageal squamous cell carcinomas (ESCCs) after endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD); however, risk heterogeneity within this high-risk group remains unclear. Precise stratification cou...

Evaluation of the UK Myeloma Research Alliance risk profile in transplant‐ineligible multiple myeloma patients treated with novel agents

Summary The heterogeneity of multiple myeloma (MM) significantly impacts treatment outcomes. Myeloma risk profile (MRP), introduced by the UK Myeloma Research Alliance, is a novel prognostic model for patients with transplant‐ineligible newly diagnosed MM (TIE‐NDMM) utilizing eas...

Reciprocal relationships between stimulus duration, electroencephalography features, and cortical spreading depression during electroconvulsive therapy

Abstract Electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) is effective for treating depression. Recent studies suggest that ECT can induce cortical spreading depression (CSD), which may have clinical benefits. However, the probability of CSD induction and its influence on therapeutically relevant...

Minimally invasive deformity correction using microendoscopic extraforaminal lumbar interbody fusion (ME-ELIF) for adult spinal deformity: a case report

Background: Adult spinal deformity (ASD) is associated with progressive sagittal and coronal imbalance, leading to functional decline and decreased quality of life. While minimally invasive approaches, such as lateral lumbar interbody fusion, have gained popularity, they pose ris...
