Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to evaluate the use and outcomes of tailored surgical treatments for symptomatic chronic pancreatitis in the Netherlands, based on recent guidelines.
- A nationwide analysis over ten years revealed that various surgical procedures were performed on 381 patients, with increasing annual surgical volumes and relatively low 90-day mortality rates.
- Outcomes showed that surgical drainage led to fewer major complications and better pain relief compared to other surgical options after a median follow-up of 11 months.
Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) remains one of the deadliest solid tumors and is resistant to immunotherapy. B cells play an essential role in PDAC progression and immune responses, both locally and systemically. Moreover, increasing evidence suggests that microbial compositions inside the tumor, as well as in the oral cavity and the gut, are important factors in shaping the PDAC immune landscape.

The aim of this study is to investigate the back-table duration and its relation to graft outcome and the relation between kidney temperature and graft outcome.
Methods: In this prospective cohort study, deceased donor kidney temperature is measured at fixed time points using an infrared thermometer during back-table preparation and transplantation.
Objective: Our aim was to determine the prognostic significance of the systemic-immune-inflammation index (SIII) in patients with resectable pancreatic cancer, using cancer-specific survival as the primary outcome.
Background: Pancreatic cancer is associated with a dysfunctional immune system and poor prognosis. We examined the prognostic significance of the SIII in patients with resectable pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) and the effects of bilirubin on this index.
Background: Patients with severe complaints of radiation-induced fibrosis after breast-conserving therapy and not responding to conservative therapy, were treated by partial mastectomy and m. latissimus dorsi reconstruction.
Method: To determine the feasibility and outcome of this approach, a retrospective study of nine patients was carried out.
