, a rice with an intermediate amylose content, is suitable for (a traditional Spanish dish) due to its ability to withstand cooking and absorb flavors. In this study, high-pressure processing (HPP) at 400 and 600 MPa (10 min) was used as a pretreatment to improve the properties of rice cooked by either boiling or microwaving. The microstructure and pasting properties of unpressurized and pressurized rice were examined.

Background: Minimally invasive liver surgery (MILS) is superior to open surgery when considering decreased blood loss, fewer complications, shorter hospital stay, and similar or improved oncologic outcomes. However, operative limitations in laparoscopic hepatectomy have curved its applicability and momentum of complex minimally invasive liver surgery. Transitioning to robotic hepatectomy may bridge this complexity gap.

Background And Aim: Geospatial analyses integrate location-based sociodemographic data, offering a promising approach to investigate the impact of social determinants on acute pancreatitis outcomes. This study aimed to examine the association of Social Vulnerability Index (SVI) and its constituent 16 attributes in 4 domains (socioeconomic status, household composition and disability, minority status and language, and housing type and transportation), with outcomes in patients with acute pancreatitis.

Methods: This study included acute pancreatitis patients hospitalized between 1/1/2008 and 12/31/2021 and recorded their demographics and clinical outcomes.

Objectives: Chronic pancreatitis (CP) is a fibro-inflammatory disorder characterized by abdominal pain and exocrine and endocrine pancreatic insufficiency resulting in significant morbidity. This study evaluates the impact of geospatial parameters, assessed using the Social Vulnerability Index (SVI), a tool comprising sixteen social attributes, on CP outcomes, including opioid use.

Methods: We conducted a retrospective analysis of CP patients with available addresses followed at our pancreas center.
