Improved phosphorus MRSI acquisition through compressed sensing acceleration combined with low-rank reconstruction.

Objectives: Phosphorus-31 magnetic resonance spectroscopic imaging (P-MRSI) is a non-invasive tool for assessing cellular high-energy metabolism in-vivo. However, its acquisition suffers from a low sensitivity, which necessitates large voxel sizes or multiple averages to achieve an acceptable signal-to-noise ratio (SNR), resulting in long scan times.

Materials And Methods: To overcome these limitations, we propose an acquisition and reconstruction scheme for FID-MRSI sequences.

Competency, Proficiency, and Mastery: Learning Curves for Robotic Distal Pancreatectomy at 16 International Expert Centers.

Objective: The aim of this study was to evaluate the different phases of the learning curve for robotic distal pancreatectomy (RDP) in international expert centers.

Summary Background Data: RDP is an emerging minimally invasive approach; however, only limited, mostly single center data are available on its safe implementation, including the learning curve.

Methods: Consecutive patients undergoing elective RDP from 16 expert centers across three continents were included to assess the learning curve.

Pressurized Intraperitoneal Aerosol Chemotherapy for Peritoneal Carcinomatosis in Colorectal Cancer Patients: A Systematic Review of the Evidence.

Introduction: Pressurized intraperitoneal aerosol chemotherapy (PIPAC) consists of the administration of aerosolized chemotherapy into the abdominal cavity of patients suffering from peritoneal carcinomatosis. Our aim was to review the evidence supporting PIPAC in patients with peritoneal carcinomatosis from colorectal cancer.

Methods: A systematic review was performed in accordance with the 2020 PRISMA guideline.

Outpatient Management Protocol for Uncomplicated Diverticulitis: A 3-Year Monocentric Experience in a Tertiary Hospital.

The management of acute uncomplicated diverticulitis (AUD) has shifted towards outpatient care in the last decade, challenging the traditional inpatient approach. We aimed to analyze the safety and feasibility of a structured outpatient treatment pathway for AUD in a tertiary hospital. We conducted a retrospective observational cohort analysis of patients who underwent outpatient management for AUD at the Geneva University Hospitals from 2019 to 2021.
