Introduction And Importance: Biliary cysts are rare congenital anomalies of the biliary ductal system. Cystic duct cysts in particular are not included in the widely used Todani classification and remain underreported.

Case Presentation: A 28-year-old male presented with intermittent right upper quadrant pain exacerbated by fatty foods.

Split Hospitalizations: a Model for Mood Disorders.

Depression is a major burden for society. While most mood disorders are treated on an outpatient basis, specific indications warrant hospitalization. Besides progresses in pharmacology, psychotherapy, or interventional procedures, we suggest that the hospital setting could also be used as a tool to address specific aspects of the mood disorder problem.

A Technique of Measurement of Gastrointestinal Luminal Nutrient Sensing and These Absorptions: Ussing Chamber (Short-Circuit Current) Technique.

The gastrointestinal (GI) tract is a series of hollow organs that play roles in food digestion and nutrient absorption. To perform these functions, they should recognize the luminal environment and elicit adequate physiological responses, including digestive juice secretion, peristaltic movements, etc. The Ussing chamber technique is an electrophysiological method for measuring transepithelial ion transport and permeability as short-circuit current (I) and transepithelial electrical tissue conductance (G) or resistance (TEER), respectively, in vitro.

[A cognitive function test utilizing eye tracking technology in virtual reality].

Aim: There is a need for a cognitive function test that is less burdensome to perform cognitive function tests used to date and can detect mild changes in the cognitive function and mild cognitive impairment (MCI). We developed a cognitive function examination using a virtual reality device (VR-E). The purpose of this study was to verify its usability.
