Article Synopsis
- - Autoimmune pancreatitis (AIP) has two subtypes, type 1 and type 2, with type 1 linked to immunoglobulin G4-related disease; diagnosing AIP is complicated by issues like inaccurate cytological samples and lack of specific biomarkers.
- - Type 1 and type 2 AIP are often only correctly identified after surgery for suspected cancer, as distinguishing AIP from pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma is difficult using current diagnostic methods.
- - Recent innovations in managing AIP include artificial intelligence, new serum markers, and improved therapeutic strategies, emphasizing the need for collaboration among healthcare specialists to enhance diagnosis and treatment while reducing unnecessary surgeries.
Background And Aims: Porto-sinusoidal vascular disorder (PSVD) is a rare and commonly overlooked cause of portal hypertension. The interest of CT analysis, including quantification of liver surface nodularity (LSN) for PSVD diagnosis has not been established. This study aimed at assessing the performance of LSN and CT features for a PSVD diagnosis in patients with signs of portal hypertension.

Acute cirrhotic decompensation is characterized by a rapid and sudden deterioration of hepatocellular function. It may be associated with secondary failure of one or more organs. The definition and understanding of a complex cirrhotic decompensation with multi-organ damage, is still poorly defined.

Prognostic tools for patients with chronic COPD exist, but there are scarce data regarding acute exacerbations. We aimed to identify the prognostic factors of death and readmission after exacerbation of COPD.
