Background: Endoscopic ultrasound-guided tissue acquisition (EUS-TA) has become essential for diagnosing pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) and is increasingly utilized for comprehensive genome profiling (CGP) to advance precision medicine. This systematic review and meta-analysis assess the feasibility and clinical utility of EUS-TA samples for CGP in PDAC.

Methods: We conducted a thorough systematic literature search in PubMed, EMBASE, and the Cochrane Library up to October 2023.

Article Synopsis
  • Early colorectal cancer (ECC) is often treated with endoscopic resection, which can sometimes lead to perforations, a serious complication.
  • A study of 965 patients found that specific techniques, like endoscopic submucosal dissection, significantly increase the risk of perforation during these procedures.
  • Interestingly, while perforations occurred in 3.4% of cases, they did not affect patient survival, indicating that the type of resection performed is a key factor in risk assessment.

Article Synopsis
  • This study focuses on improving patient outcomes in radiotherapy for malignant tumors by collecting comprehensive multi-modal data generated during treatment, rather than looking at single time-points.
  • The data collected from multiple institutions underwent strict integrity checks and was analyzed using AI models, leading to a substantial dataset that includes over 30,000 imaging scans and metadata from 5,019 patients.
  • Results showed that the AI models effectively validated most of the data quality, achieving a high classification accuracy, which suggests that this structured dataset can significantly enhance future research in radiotherapy efficiency.

Psoriasis is a chronic inflammatory skin disorder characterized by the hyperproliferation of keratinocytes and immune system dysregulation, with significant needs due to the limitations and adverse effects of current treatments. In this study, we sought to discover novel herbal candidates and their active compounds for psoriasis by leveraging a multiscale network analysis. We conducted a comprehensive analysis of data from 348 medicinal herbs and their active compounds, identifying , , , and as top candidates without reported evidence.
