Article Synopsis
- Gallstones have become increasingly common, affecting around 6% of men and 9% of women in the U.S., with 10-20% of adults in Western countries suffering from this condition.
- The onset of gallstone symptoms is happening at younger ages than previously observed, leading to increased pain and functional disability among younger populations.
- A review of 28 articles assessed imaging techniques like ultrasound, CT, and MRI for gallstones, finding notable differences in sensitivity (p < 0.001) but less conclusive results regarding specificity (p = 0.474).
Gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GIST) are a rare form of cancer located within the gastrointestinal (GI) tract, defined as tumors with spindle, epithelioid, or occasionally pleomorphic cells. They originate in the interstitial cells of Cajal, with the function of "pacemaker" of gastrointestinal motility. Their behavior is dictated by changes in the c-kit/PDGFRA gene, which is often highlighted by immunolabeling.

Material and Method: We have established a strategy for dealing with cases of abdominal trauma with injuries by non-operative treatment (NOT). We applied NOT to 13 patients in 50 (26%), of which 8 were patients with spleen injuries and 5 were patients with liver damage.

Methods: Peripheral blood count for neutrophils and lymphocytes was done at the patient's admission.
Unlabelled: Local inflammation plays a very important role in the apparition and development of tumors and metastasis. The objective of this study was to investigate the significance of neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio (NLR), lymphocyte to monocyte ratio (LMR) and platelet to lymphocyte ratio (PLR) in peripheral blood of patients with gastrointestinal malignant tumors.
Methods: Medical records of 145 patients diagnosed with gastrointestinal malignant tumor between January 2017 and December 2017 were analyzed retrospectively.
