Background: Intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (iCCA) was considered a contraindication for liver transplantation. However, recent studies have shown that highly selected cases of patients with a good response to neoadjuvant therapy may achieve acceptable survival rates when following liver transplantation.
Aims: To present two cases of patients with iCCA, without extrahepatic disease, who underwent living donor liver transplantation after receiving neoadjuvant chemotherapy.
Background: Pancreas divisum is an anatomical abnormality where the junction of the main and accessory pancreatic duct fails to occur and the smaller-caliber duct acts as dominant, resulting in overload during the drainage of the organ's secretion through the minor duodenal papilla.
Aims: To report a case of recurrent acute pancreatitis due to symptomatic pancreas divisum who underwent pancreatoduodenectomy.
Case Report: A 21-year-old male patient presented with intermittent painful crises, located in the upper abdomen, with radiation to the back, associated with nausea and vomiting, for the past three years.
Article Synopsis
- A six-month-old girl showed signs of feeding intolerance, fever, and leg swelling, leading to the discovery of multiple fractures, which raised suspicions of non-accidental trauma.
- Blood tests indicated an infection with a ceftriaxone-resistant bacteria, requiring a 10-day antibiotic treatment.
- The case emphasizes the need for careful assessment of potential abuse in infants who have unexplained fractures and infections.
We performed first-principle molecular dynamics (FPMD) calculations to test the total attraction force on a physisorbed molecule at a given temperature and ambient pressure and applied it to the hydrogen storage on the 2D material MoP2. We considered a pristine material and one with 12.5% of Mo vacancies.

- Entrepreneurs face high stress and burnout, making recovery crucial, and the Recovery Experience Questionnaire (REQ) helps assess their recovery through four factors: psychological detachment, relaxation, mastery, and control.
- A study involving 1,043 French entrepreneurs validated the French version of the REQ, checking its reliability and confirming its four-factor structure using statistical analyses.
- Results showed the French REQ had strong internal consistency and significant links to health indicators, confirming it as a valid tool for understanding recovery experiences and potentially applicable to various work populations.
