Objective: To identify the risk factors, manifestations, and clinical implications of chyle leak (CL) after pancreatic surgery, and to reappraise the International Study Group for Pancreatic Surgery (ISGPS) definition and classification of CL.

Summary Background Data: The risk factors, clinical scenarios, and management of CL after pancreatic surgery remain controversial.

Methods: Data from patients who underwent pancreatic surgery between January 2019 and July 2023 were retrieved from an institutional database.

Endothelial cell (EC) senescence is a major contributor in atherosclerosis (AS) development. Herein, the role of forkhead box P transcription factor 1 (FOXP1) and insulin-like growth factor (IGF)-1 in regulating EC senescence during AS progression was investigated. The mRNA and protein expressions were assessed using qRT-PCR and western blot.

Gas-phase reactive nitrogen species (N) are important drivers of indoor air quality. Cooking and cleaning are significant direct sources indoors, whose emissions will vary depending on activity and materials used. Commercial kitchens experience regular high volumes of both cooking and cleaning, making them ideal study locations for exploring emission factors from these sources.

Article Synopsis
  • This study evaluated the effectiveness of machine learning models using F-FDG PET/CT radiomics to differentiate between cervical adenocarcinoma and squamous cell carcinoma.
  • Researchers analyzed data from 227 patients with locally advanced cervical cancer, applying various machine learning algorithms and ultimately finding that the lightGBM algorithm outperformed others, achieving an accuracy of 91.5% in the internal validation cohort.
  • The results indicate that the lightGBM-based PET radiomics model could be a valuable tool for predicting histological subtypes of cervical cancer, potentially improving diagnosis and treatment strategies.
