Background: Peripherally inserted central catheters (PICCs) are safe and useful alternatives to centrally inserted central catheters (CICCs). Several studies have investigated the effectiveness and safety of PICCs; however, few have focused on their use in patients with gastroenterological diseases. In the present study, we evaluated the outcomes of patients with gastroenterological diseases who received PICCs and identified the risk factors associated with central line-associated blood stream infection (CLABSI).

- - The narrative review examines how social media (SoMe) is used for research communication in surgery, highlighting its role in sharing articles and enhancing citation metrics through strategies like visual abstracts.
- - SoMe is beneficial for surgical education, allowing for the wide sharing of online training videos, though it raises concerns about varying content quality.
- - Additionally, SoMe enables focused discussions and is increasingly used by general surgery residency programs in the U.S. for recruitment, emphasizing the importance for surgeons to understand its effective use.
Background: To determine the precise frequency of main pancreatic duct (MPD) dilatation within the remnant pancreas at 1 year after pancreatoduodenectomy (PD) and its clinical implications, a prospective multicenter cohort study was performed in patients without MPD dilatation before PD (registry number: UMIN000029662).
Study Design: Between October 2017 and July 2020, patients with an MPD diameter less than 3 mm who were planned to undergo PD for periampullary lesions at 21 hospitals were enrolled. The primary endpoints were frequency of MPD dilatation at 1 year after PD, and the relationship between MPD dilatation and pancreatic endo- and exocrine function, nutritional status, and fatty liver.
