Cancer-related muscle diseases are usually paraneoplastic disorders. Dermatomyositis (DM) is a type of inflammatory myopathy that is strongly associated with a broad range of malignant disorders. The malignancy can occur before, concomitantly or after the onset of myositis. The malignancies most commonly associated with DM are carcinomas of ovary, lung, stomach, colorectal and pancreas, as well as non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. An association of DM with carcinoma of the gall bladder (GB) is extremely rare with only two previously reported cases in the literature. We report a case of carcinoma of GB with DM as the paraneoplastic manifestation.

Radiomics is a method that extracts many features from medical images using various algorithms. Medical nomograms are graphical representations of statistical predictive models that produce a likelihood of a clinical event for a specific individual based on biological and clinical data. The radiomic nomogram was first introduced in 2016 to study the integration of specific radiomic characteristics with clinically significant risk factors for patients with colorectal cancer lymph node metastases.

Disulfiram/Cu(DSF/Cu) has a known pharmacokinetic and safety profile, exerting a strong antitumor effect. Oral tyrosine kinase inhibitors including lenvatinib are approved as first-line therapy for treating advanced unresectable hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). These patients still have limited survival due to drug resistance.

Article Synopsis
- Carcinoma of the gall bladder (CAGB) has a low survival rate, but analyzing bile samples can help identify molecular indicators for early detection of the disease.
- A study on 87 bile samples found specific proteomic and metabolomic signatures associated with CAGB that correlated with increased inflammation and altered energy pathways compared to healthy controls.
- The top four metabolites showed over 99% accuracy and sensitivity for CAGB detection in further validation tests, suggesting that bile analysis could lead to improved early diagnosis methods.

Article Synopsis
- Primary sclerosing cholangitis (PSC) is a liver disease linked to inflammatory bowel disease and can cause serious liver complications; this study investigates trends in healthcare usage and mortality related to PSC in the U.S. from 2008 to 2017.
- The analysis of the Nationwide Inpatient Sample reveals that while hospital charges for PSC patients rose by 32.2%, the average length of hospital stays decreased during the study period, indicating changes in healthcare practices.
- Additionally, there was a notable increase in the severity of illness and risk of death among PSC patients, with a rise in cases of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), while cases of cholangiocarcinoma (CCA) saw a decline.
