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...

The future of allergy and immunology care: A perspective on innovation, equity, and global collaboration from the WAO Junior Members Group

Allergic and immunological diseases are among the fastest-growing non-communicable conditions worldwide, affecting all age groups and regions.1 The increasing burden of asthma, allergic rhinitis, atopic dermatitis, food allergy, and other immune-mediated conditions is driven by c...

22q11.2 microdeletion and immunological status of Vietnamese children with tetralogy of Fallot and pulmonary atresia with ventricular septal defect

The 22q11.2 deletion (22q11.2Del) is one of the most common chromosomal microdeletions associated with a broad range of clinical manifestations, including congenital heart disease and immunodeficiency. Several studies reported a high frequency of 22q11.2Del in patients with conot...

Airway management in retrosternal goiter surgery: a five-year single-center retrospective observational study in a low-resource setting

Abstract Background Retrosternal goiter can cause tracheal deviation, airway compression, and recurrent laryngeal nerve dysfunction, posing challenges for perioperative airway management. Evidence guiding airway management strategies is largely derived from high-resource settings...

Anti-MDA5-associated rapidly progressive interstitial lung disease in clinically amyopathic dermatomyositis with secondary invasive pulmonary Aspergillus flavus infection after aggressive immunosuppressive therapy: a case report

Anti-melanoma differentiation-associated gene 5 (MDA5) positive rapidly progressive interstitial lung disease (RP-ILD) with clinically amyopathic dermatomyositis (CADM) is a life-threatening condition. Prompt initiation of immunosuppressive therapy is crucial for improving outcom...
