Optimal indication of adding pancreatic juice cytology in the diagnosis of malignant intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasm of the pancreas.
Pancreatology
December 2024
Department of Gastroenterology, Graduate School of Biomedical & Health Sciences, Hiroshima University, Hiroshima, Japan.
Background/objectives: Positive pancreatic juice cytology (PJC) is an important finding when considering surgical resection in patients with intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasm (IPMN); however, guidelines do not recommend endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) for PJC. This study aimed to clarify the findings worthy of adding PJC for diagnosing high-grade dysplasia (HGD) and invasive carcinoma (IC) in patients with IPMN.
Methods: Patients with IPMN who underwent preoperative PJC and surgical resection at Hiroshima University Hospital were enrolled, and the diagnostic yield of malignant IPMN based on PJC and clinical and imaging findings and the incidence of post-ERCP pancreatitis (PEP) were retrospectively analyzed.
Impact of smoking on the detection of brain aneurysms in general population screening: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

Departments of1Neurological Surgery.
Objective: While the relationship between smoking and subarachnoid hemorrhage is well established, data regarding the probability of detecting unruptured intracranial aneurysms (UIAs) in smokers remain sparse. The aim of this systematic review and meta-analysis is to provide a comprehensive understanding of the relationship between smoking and the likelihood of identifying UIAs in healthy asymptomatic patients who underwent brain imaging for indications unrelated to UIAs.
Methods: A systematic review was conducted following the PRISMA guidelines.

Videofluoroscopy, recognized as the gold standard for dysphagia exploration, has inherent limitations, including poor soft tissue discrimination, radiation exposure, and aspiration risk. In response to these challenges, cine-MRI of swallowing has evolved over the past three decades, yielding diverse methodologies and results across various studies.This systematic review, conducted in accordance with the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines, meticulously outlines cine-MRI protocols, applications, advantages, and limitations.

Neurological Surgery, Thomas Jefferson University, Philadelphia, PA, US.
Objective: In recent years, the application of robotic assistance in diagnostic and therapeutic endovascular neurointerventional procedures has gained notable attention. In this systematic review and meta-analysis, we aim to evaluate the feasibility, safety, and current indications of robotic-assisted neurointerventions and to assess the degree of robotic assistance and reasons for unplanned manual conversion from robotic assistance.
Methods: We searched Medline, Scopus, Web of Science, and Cochrane Library databases following PRISMA guidelines and included studies with ≥ 4 patients reporting on robotic-assisted neurointerventions.
Chinese guidelines for ultrasound-guided thermal ablation of thyroid nodules (2024 Edition).
Int J Surg
December 2024
Department of Interventional Ultrasound, Chinese PLA General Hospital, Beijing, China.
The Chinese Guidelines for Ultrasound-guided Thermal Ablation of Thyroid Nodules (2024 edition) were jointly initiated by the Ultrasound Committee of Chinese Medical Association, the Interventional Ultrasound Committee of Chinese Association of Ultrasound in Medicine and Engineering, the Ultrasonic Intervention Committee of Chinese Colleges of Interventionalists, the Oncological Intervention Committee of Chinese Research Hospital Association, 37 multidisciplinary experts in interventional ultrasound, ultrasound medicine, endocrinology and thyroid surgery participated in the compilation of this guide, which expanded the depth and breadth of the perspective and enhanced the authority of the guide. Based on the systematic review of literatures related to ultrasound-guided thermal ablation of thyroid nodules and the professional opinions of experts, the guidelines define the indications and contraindications of thermal ablation, including pre-ablation evaluation and preparation, thermal ablation techniques and operational procedures, post-ablation follow-up, therapeutic effect evaluation, complications prevention and treatment, and the writing of medical documents for ablation. According to the Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development and Evaluation (GRADE), a total of 17 objective and comprehensive recommendations were given.
