Objective: To build a Bayesian approach-based model to predict the success of surgical exploration post-neoadjuvant treatment.
Background: Pancreatic cancer (PDAC) is best treated with radical surgery and chemotherapy, offering the greatest chance of survival. Surgery after neoadjuvant treatment (NAT) is indicated in the absence of progression, knowing the limits in accurately predicting resectability with traditional radiology.
Pancreatic cancer has an increasing incidence and prevalence trend. Its prognosis is negatively affected by poor/altered nutritional status. Therefore, nutritional interventions play a critical/pivotal role at any stage.

Objective: To compare clinical outcomes, including recurrence-focused treatment and survival, in patients with PDAC recurrence who received symptomatic follow-up or routine imaging after pancreatic resection in international centers affiliated with the European-African Hepato-Pancreato-Biliary Association (E-AHPBA).

Aims: Although the neuroanatomical distribution of tau and amyloid-β is well studied in Alzheimer's disease (AD) (non)-amnestic clinical variants, that of neuroinflammation remains unexplored. We investigate the neuroanatomical distribution of activated myeloid cells, astrocytes, and complement alongside amyloid-β and phosphorylated tau in a clinically well-defined prospectively collected AD cohort.
Methods: Clinical variants were diagnosed antemortem, and brain tissue was collected post-mortem.
Background: The impact of chemoradiotherapy on pathologic response, resection margin, and survival benefit is still debated. The aim of this study was to compare the rate of pathologic complete response (pCR) in surgical resection following neoadjuvant chemotherapy vs. chemoradiotherapy, and secondarily, to compare the rate of R0 resection and Overall Survival (OS).
