Background: Mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT) lymphoma, a type of non-Hodgkin lymphoma, originates in the mucosal lining of body organs and internal cavities, including the nose, mouth, lungs, and digestive tract. The lymphoma develops when the body produces abnormal B lymphocytes. These lymphomas develop at the edge of the lymphoid tissue, called the marginal zone, and, hence, are classified as a type of marginal zone lymphomas.

- The study aimed to enhance the accuracy of predicting glaucomatous visual field (VF) impairment by using pointwise total deviation (TD) values with a machine-learning method called random forest model (RFM) and examining the role of ganglion cell-inner plexiform layer (GCIPL) thickness.
- Researchers analyzed data from 89 eyes with open-angle glaucoma that had cataract surgery, using various predictive models to calculate mean TD.
- Results showed that RFM provided more accurate predictions than traditional methods, and incorporating GCIPL measurements did not significantly improve the model’s accuracy.
Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to assess the effectiveness of endoscopic hand suturing (EHS) in reducing postoperative bleeding after gastric endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) in patients on antithrombotic agents (ATAs).
- It involved a phase II multicenter study with 49 enrolled patients, 43 of whom were evaluated; the postoperative bleeding rate was found to be 7%, significantly lower than the expected 10% rate.
- The success rate of EHS was 100%, with minimal complications, suggesting that EHS is a promising method to mitigate bleeding risks in these high-risk patients.
