Realistic behavior in Computer Simulation of biological system (e.g. humans organs) is essential to 3D modeling in medicine. In order to improve realistic responses of 3D organ model it is essential to use mechanical models that can deal with multiple objects internal and external interactions in a reasonable time frame. We will apply the Smooth Particles Hydrodynamics (SPH) to model the esophagus and the stomach, thus constructing a physical background for interaction. We used a multilayer model of particles related to a single triangle mesh. Each particle layers represent distinct biological tissues of the esophagus and the stomach.

Background: Malnutrition is common with esophagogastric cancers and is associated with negative outcomes. We aimed to evaluate if immunonutrition during neoadjuvant treatment improves patient's health-related quality of life (HRQOL) and reduces postoperative morbidity and toxicities during neoadjuvant treatment.

Methods: A multicenter double-blind randomized controlled trial (RCT) was undertaken.

Differences in Transdiaphragmatic Pressure of Dogs Suffering from Cervical or Thoracolumbar Myelopathy Anaesthetised with Isoflurane.

Anaesthesia and Intensive Care Unit, Companion Animal Clinic, School of Veterinary Medicine, Faculty of Health Sciences, Aristotle University of Thessaloniki, 54627 Thessaloniki, Greece.

Background: The purpose of this study is to evaluate differences in transdiaphragmatic pressure (Pdi) in dogs suffering from cervical myelopathy (CM) and thoracolumbar myelopathy (TLM) anaesthetised with isoflurane (ISO).

Methods: This prospective cohort study included ASA II-status dogs diagnosed with either CM or TLM, anaesthetised for diagnostic or surgical purposes between September 2021 and July 2023. Patients followed the same anaesthetic protocol, and maximum Pdi was recorded at 10 (Pdimax10), 20 (Pdimax20), and 30 (Pdimax30) minutes using balloon catheters placed in the stomach (Pgast) and in the mid-third of the oesophagus (Poes).

Introduction: The performance of a high quality esophagogastroduodenoscopy (EGD) is dependent on the mucosal cleanliness. Recently, the Polprep: Effective Assessment of Cleanliness in EGD (PEACE) scale was created to assess the degree of mucosal cleanliness during EGD. The aim of this study was to validate this scoring system in a cohort of international endoscopists.

Background: Adenocarcinoma of the esophagogastric junction (AEGJ) is a highly aggressive tumor that frequently metastasizes to the liver. Understanding the cellular and molecular mechanisms that drive this process is essential for developing effective therapies.

Methods: We employed single-cell RNA sequencing to analyze the tumor heterogeneity and microenvironmental landscape in patients with AEGJ liver metastases.

Surgical resection and lymphadenectomy are the mainstay of curative treatment for oesophagogastric cancer. In this study we evaluate the results of intravascular methylene blue injection into oesophagectomy and gastrectomy specimens as a tool to increase lymph node detection. A prospective and descriptive study was run on 24 patients (11 oesophagus, 13 stomach cases).
