Although small hypervascular tumors are suspected to be pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors (p-NENs), their diagnosis and treatment are challenging. This study evaluated the usefulness of endoscopic ultrasound-guided tissue acquisition (EUS-TA) for diagnosis of small p-NENs. All p-NEN lesions that underwent EUS-TA at our hospital between April 2018 and December 2023 were retrospectively analyzed.

Furthermore, although endoscopic ultrasonography (EUS) offers high-resolution images, it has not yet recognized as the primary tool for malignancy diagnosis. The study objective was to develop a simplified and user-friendly scoring system to improve the diagnostic accuracy of malignant IPMNs.

- * Valgus alignment in the lower limb can worsen osteoarthritis after meniscus surgery, suggesting it may negatively impact surgical outcomes for patients with DLM.
- * This Technical Note outlines a combined approach using arthroscopic meniscal surgery and temporary hemiepiphysiodesis to address DLM and correct valgus deformities in pediatric patients, aiming to lower the risk of future knee damage.
Article Synopsis
- Pullout repair is recommended for medial meniscal posterior root tears (MMPRTs) in well-aligned knees, while open-wedge high tibial osteotomy (OWHTO) is suggested for those with MMPRTs and varus osteoarthritis.
- *The traditional pullout repair involves creating bone tunnels from the proximal anteromedial tibia, but this can pose risks to the repaired meniscus and nearby neurovascular structures.
- *The new approach involves creating a bone tunnel from the proximal anterolateral tibia combined with a distal tibial tubercle osteotomy, which reduces postoperative complications and simplifies the procedure.
Previous research has shown that when domain-general transitional probability (TP) cues to word segmentation are in conflict with language-specific stress cues, English-learning 5- and 7-month-olds rely on TP, whereas 9-month-olds rely on stress. In two artificial languages, we evaluated English-learning infants' sensitivity to TP cues to word segmentation vis-a-vis language-specific vowel phonotactic (VP) cues-English words do not end in lax vowels. These cues were either consistent or conflicting.
