Background: The Sendai Consensus Guidelines (SCG) were formulated in 2006 to guide the management of mucinous cystic lesions of the pancreas (CLPs) and were updated in 2012 (International Consensus Guidelines, ICG 2012). This study aims to evaluate the clinical utility of the ICG 2012 with the SCG based on initial cross-sectional imaging findings.
Methods: One hundred fourteen patients with mucinous CLPs were reviewed and classified according to the ICG 2012 as high risk (HR(ICG2012)), worrisome (W(ICG2012)), and low risk (LR(ICG2012)), and according to the SCG as high risk (HR(SCG)) and low risk (LR(SCG)).
Results: On univariate analysis, the presence of symptoms, obstructive jaundice, elevated serum carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA)/carbohydrate antigen (CA)19-9, solid component, main pancreatic duct ≥ 10 mm, and main pancreatic duct ≥ 5 mm was associated with high grade dysplasia/invasive carcinoma in all mucinous CLPs. Increasing number of HR(SCG) or HR(ICG2012) features was associated with a significantly increased likelihood of malignancy. The positive predictive value of HR(SCG) and HR(ICG2012) for high grade dysplasia/invasive carcinoma was 46% and 62.5% respectively. The negative predictive value of both LR(SCG) and LR(ICG2012) was 100%.
Conclusion: Both the guidelines were useful in the initial cross-sectional imaging evaluation of mucinous CLPs. The ICG 2012 guidelines were superior to the SCG guidelines.

Indocyanine green lymphography in the congenital chylothorax and chylous ascites.

Background: The prognosis of congenital chylothorax and ascites ranges from spontaneous resolution to death, but no established examination exists to predict the prognosis. We aimed to develop a clinically useful method to evaluate lymphatic abnormalities using indocyanine green (ICG) lymphography in infants with congenital chylothorax and ascites.
Methods: We retrospectively evaluated infants with congenital chylothorax and chylous ascites who underwent ICG lymphography in our hospital between 2012 and 2022.
Introduction: Use of indocyanine green (ICG) with near-infrared fluorescence (NIRF) has been demonstrated to be an effective tool for intraoperative assessment of bowel and ureteric vascularity. This study aimed to evaluate the impact of ICG on postsurgical outcomes such as anastomotic bowel leak and uretero-enteric stricture formation during robot-assisted cystectomy (RAC) and intracorporeal urinary diversion (ICUD).
Methods: We identified 238 patients who underwent RAC at the University of Louisville between September 2012 and August 2021.
Objective: To investigate the long-term safety and efficacy of autologous peripheral blood stem cell transplantation (APBSCT) in treating decompensated hepatitis B cirrhosis.
Methods: In this study, a retrospective analysis was conducted on a cohort of 84 patients diagnosed with decompensated hepatitis B cirrhosis between January 2011 and December 2012. The patients were categorized into two groups based on their treatment approach: the transplantation group, consisting of 34 cases who received APBSCT in addition to medical treatment, and the comprehensive medical treatment (CMT) group, comprising 50 cases who solely received CMT.
Evaluation of Serial Intra-Arterial Indocyanine Green Videoangiography in the Surgical Treatment of Cranial and Craniocervical Junction Arteriovenous Fistulae: A Case Series.

Background And Objectives: Intravenous indocyanine green (IV-ICG) videoangiography is commonly performed to detect blood flow in the microscopic view. However, intra-arterial ICG (IA-ICG) videoangiography provides high-contrast imaging, repeatability within a short period of time, and clear-cut separation of the arterial and venous phases compared with IV-ICG. These features are useful for detecting retrograde venous drainage (RVD) and shunt occlusion in arteriovenous fistulae (AVF) surgery.

Article Synopsis
- This study aimed to compare the effectiveness of a hybrid tracer (ICG-Tc-nanocolloid) versus sequential tracers (Tc-nanocolloid and free-ICG) in detecting cancerous lymph nodes during prostate cancer surgery.
- It involved prostate cancer patients with a significant risk of lymphatic involvement, who were randomly assigned to receive either the hybrid or sequential tracer before surgery.
- Results showed similar total numbers of removed lymph nodes between both groups, but the hybrid group retrieved fewer fluorescence nodes, and there was no significant difference in the number of tumor-positive lymph nodes detected.
