Background: Minimally invasive surgical necrosectomy plays an important role in the management of infected pancreatic necrosis, with a goal of removing debris and debriding necrotic tissue. Pulse lavage is designed to simultaneously hydrostatically debride and remove the infected necrotic tissue with suction. It is also able to remove significant amounts of debris without traumatic manipulation of the necrotic tissue which may be adherent to surrounding tissue and can result in injury.

- - Acinar cystic transformation (ACT) is a rare, non-cancerous cystic lesion in the pancreas that's often confused with more serious conditions like intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasms (IPMNs).

Article Synopsis
- Elderly cancer patients, especially those over 70, can have trouble with thinking clearly, which affects their daily lives.
- This study looked at how well these patients could use a digital brain training app and whether they liked it.
- Out of 240 patients checked, about 145 were able to participate in the study to see if the app helped them improve their memory and thinking skills.

However, previous studies provided conflicting results. The aim of this systematic review and meta-analysis was to synthesize the longitudinal impact of hormone therapy on objective (cognitive tests) and subjective (questionnaires) cognition.
