Department of Hepatobiliary and Pancreatic Oncology, National Cancer Center Hospital, Tokyo, Japan.
Objectives: This study aimed to investigate the diagnostic performance and safety of endoscopic ultrasound-guided tissue acquisition (EUS-TA) for perivascular soft-tissue cuffing (PSTC).
Methods: This single-center, retrospective study evaluated patients in whom EUS-TA was performed for PSTC in pancreatic or bile duct cancer lesions between October 2017 and March 2024. PSTC was defined as a perivascular soft-tissue area contiguous with nearby blood vessels from the suspected primary tumor.
Cognitive impairment in young adults after cancer treatment: A descriptive correlational study on levels and associations with disease-related, psychological, and lifestyle factors.

School of Human Kinetics, University of Ottawa, Ottawa, Ontario, Canada.
Purpose: Young adults report challenges concerning cancer--related cognitive impairment (CRCI). This study aimed to: (1) describe cognition in young adults post-cancer treatment using self-report and performance-based measures, and (2) examine associations between cognition and relevant disease-related, psychological, and lifestyle (physical activity; PA) factors.
Methods: Forty-six young adults (M = 31.
Efficacy of a Novel Adjustable Snare Technique Versus the Conventional Technique for Converting the Orobiliary Catheter to a Nasobiliary Catheter.

Department of Gastroenterology, Zhongnan Hospital of Wuhan University, Wuhan, China.
Background And Object: It is a challenging step to guide a nasobiliary catheter from the mouth to the nasal cavity in endoscopic nasobiliary drainage (ENBD), and new methods are always being explored to improve the procedure. We have developed a novel device which is composed of a dedicated adjustable snare and a tongue depressor-like handle, for completing oral-nasal conversion of the ENBD tube. In this study, we aim to assess the utility of our new technique in repositioning the ENBD catheter by comparing it with conventional guidewire technique.

Phasing, the process of determining which alleles at different loci on homologous chromosomes belong together on the same chromosome, is crucial in the diagnosis and management of autosomal recessive diseases. Advances in long-read sequencing technologies have significantly enhanced our ability to accurately determine haplotypes. This review discusses the application of low-coverage long-read sequencing, nanopore Cas9-guided long-read sequencing, and adaptive sampling in phasing, highlighting their utility in complex clinical scenarios.

Versiti Blood Research Institute, Milwaukee, WI (A.R., C.S., S.R.).
Background: Hypertension or elevated blood pressure (BP) is a worldwide clinical challenge and the leading primary risk factor for kidney dysfunctions, heart failure, and cerebrovascular disease. The kidney is a central regulator of BP by maintaining sodium-water balance. Multiple genome-wide association studies revealed that BP is a heritable quantitative trait, modulated by several genetic, epigenetic, and environmental factors.
