Article Synopsis
- Assessing liver steatosis is vital for successful liver transplantation, with current evaluation methods being time-consuming, subjective, and inconsistent.
- New research suggests infrared (IR) spectroscopy could provide a real-time, quantitative assessment of steatosis but has been limited by the lack of reference values.
- This study developed improved digital image analysis techniques for quantitating steatosis, leading to more accurate and reliable IR spectroscopic models, which could help better evaluate donor organs, particularly from marginal donors.
Aims: To evaluate the initial results of the oesophagogastric cancer registry developed for the Sociedad Valenciana de Cirugía and the Health Department of the Comunidad Valenciana (Spain).
Methods: Fourteen of the 24 public hospitals belonging to the Comunidad Valenciana participated. All patients with diagnosis of oesophageal or gastric carcinomas operated from January 2013 to December 2014 were evaluated.
The objective of the study was to assess by means of magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography whether acute biliary pancreatitis leads to alterations in pancreatic morphology and the main pancreatic duct; to establish whether such alterations are related to the severity of the acute episode and if they are to be considered as sequelae of the illness or on the contrary the findings constitute diagnostic morphological criteria of chronic pancreatitis. Forty patients with acute biliary pancreatitis were prospectively and consecutively studied, 15 female (37.5%) and 25 male (62.

Methods: Prospective cohort study including 39 patients with severe ABP. According to need or no need for surgical necrosectomy, patients were further subdivided into 2 groups.
Objective: to assess whether a magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography performed after an acute biliary pancreatitis leads to pancreatic morphological alterations and if secretin stimulation influences the visualization of the pancreatic tree.
Method: forty patients with acute biliary pancreatitis, 25 female (62,5/) and 15 male (37,5/), 27 mild and 13 severe, were prospectively and consecutively studied. All patients had undergone cholecystectomy.
