Article Synopsis
  • A 58-year-old man found out he had an unusual liver tumor after routine tests showed high bilirubin levels, but he wasn’t feeling sick.
  • Doctors did surgery to remove part of his liver, and tests revealed it was a rare type of tumor called a hepatic glomus tumor.
  • After 6 months, the patient was doing well, with no signs of the tumor coming back or spreading.

Rationale: Neuroendocrine neoplasms (NENs) originating from neuroendocrine cells occur in the thyroid, respiratory, and digestive systems, with Gallbladder Neuroendocrine Carcinoma (GB-NEC) accounting for only 0.5% of all NENs and 2.1% of gallbladder cancers.

Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) stands as a severe malignant tumor with a profound impact on overall health, often accompanied by an unfavorable prognosis. Despite some advancements in the diagnosis and treatment of this disease, improving the prognosis of HCC remains a formidable challenge. It is noteworthy that lipid metabolism plays a pivotal role in the onset, development, and progression of tumor cells.

Background: Identifying the temporal trends of cirrhosis and liver cancer attributable to alcohol use in both the past and the future can formulate the control strategies.

Methods: Data on cirrhosis and liver cancer attributable to alcohol use from 1990 to 2019, including mortality and disability-adjusted life year (DALY) rates were collected from the 2019 Global Burden of Disease (GBD) study. To analyze the temporal trends, the average annual percentage change (AAPC) was calculated, and the Bayesian age-period-cohort model was applied.

Background: This study aimed to evaluate the global colorectal cancer(CRC) trend and the relevant risk factors from 1990 to 2019 and for better policymaking and resource allocation.

Methods: Data on CRC, including incidence, mortality and disability adjusted life year (DALY) rates, were extracted from the 2019 Global Burden of Disease (GBD) study. The estimated annual percentage changes (EAPCs) were calculated to assess the temporal trend of incidence, mortality and DALYs.

Article Synopsis
  • - PHPBL is a rare type of lymphoma that specifically affects the liver, bile ducts, and pancreas without impacting lymph nodes or other organs.
  • - Its symptoms and imaging signs are often similar to those of other tumors in the same area, making diagnosis challenging, but timely treatment is crucial for better outcomes.
  • - Standard treatment involves combination chemotherapy, though due to its rarity, there isn't a widely accepted optimal treatment plan, and this review discusses the disease's diagnosis, pathology, and management strategies for clinicians.

The incidence of diabetes mellitus is dramatically increasing every year, causing a huge global burden. Moreover, existing anti-diabetic drugs inevitably bring adverse reactions, and the application of islet transplantation is often limited by the damage caused by oxidative stress after transplantation. Thus, new approaches are needed to combat the growing burden of diabetes mellitus.

Noninvasive targeted visualization of pancreatic beta cells or islets is becoming the focus of molecular imaging application in diabetes and islet transplantation studies. In this study, we aimed to produce the beta-cell-targeted peptide for molecular imaging of islet. We used phage display libraries to screen a beta-cell-targeted peptide, LNTPLKS, which was tagged with fluorescein isothiocyanate (FITC).

Euglycemic diabetic keto acidosis (eu-DKA) is a rare but life-threatening metabolic complication associated with sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 (SGLT-2) inhibitor therapy, especially in the setting of extreme physical stress. Due to no apparent hyperglycemia, the significant risk of delayed diagnosis or misdiagnosis exists within patients. Herein, we report a novel case of dapagliflozin-associated eu-DKA with unusual presentation.

Introduction: Myeloid sarcoma (MS) is an extramedullary mass, consisting of myeloid blasts with or without maturation, which efface the normal tissue architecture. It occurs mainly in lymph nodes, skin and soft tissue, testis, bone, peritoneum, and gastrointestinal tract, but rarely in the pancreas. Because their clinical courses, treatments, and prognoses are quite different, it is crucially important to distinguish between MS and pancreatic cancer.
