Cancers of the digestive system are major contributors to global cancer-associated morbidity and mortality, accounting for 35% of annual cases of cancer deaths. The etiologies, molecular features, and therapeutic management of these cancer entities are highly heterogeneous and complex. Over the last decade, genomic and functional studies have provided unprecedented insights into the biology of digestive cancers, identifying genetic drivers of tumor progression and key interaction points of tumor cells with the immune system.

Background: Currently, there is limited scientific evidence regarding the effectiveness of fluorescent cholangiography in emergency cholecystectomy for acute cholecystitis. The primary aim of this study was to assess the efficacy of near-infrared fluorescent cholangiography (NIRF-C) in different severity degrees of acute cholecystitis.

Materials And Methods: Inclusion criteria were patients with a clinical and radiological (abdominal ultrasound and/or computed tomography) diagnosis of acute cholecystitis based on the revised 2018 Tokyo guidelines who underwent laparoscopic cholecystectomy within 24-72 h from the onset of symptoms and patients with ASA score of 0-3.

Division of Liver Surgery, Department of General Surgery, West China Hospital, Sichuan University, 37 Guo Xue Road, Wu hou District, Chengdu, 610041, China.

Background: Despite the expanding indications for laparoscopic liver resection (LLR), its role in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) with portal vein tumor thrombus (PVTT) remains unclear. The aim of the current study is to compare the short- and long-term outcomes following LLR and open liver resection (OLR) for HCC with PVTT.

Methods: All HCC patients with PVTT registered for surgery between April 2015 and May 2022 were enrolled.

A 78-year-old male patient came to our hospital with a chief complaint of fever. Computed tomography revealed an indistinct tumor in the pancreatic head, along with dilatation of the bile duct and main pancreatic duct. An endoscopic transpapillary biopsy demonstrated adenocarcinoma in the glandular epithelium and a dense formation of quasi-round cells.

Ramadan intermittent fasting for patients with gastrointestinal and hepatobiliary diseases: practical guidance for health-care professionals.

Lancet Gastroenterol Hepatol

Digestive Diseases Unit, Kettering General Hospital, University Hospital of Northamptonshire NHS Group, Kettering, UK; Department of Population Health Sciences, College of Life Sciences, University of Leicester, Leicester, UK.

Ramadan intermittent fasting can pose challenges and risks for some groups of patients. Based on a narrative literature review and our clinical expertise, we provide practical guidance for clinicians managing patients with gastrointestinal and hepatobiliary conditions who wish to fast during Ramadan. Following the established International Diabetes Federation and Diabetes and Ramadan International Alliance risk stratification framework, we categorised patients' risk as low or moderate, high, or very high.
