Gallbladder carcinoma (GBC) is the most common malignant tumor of biliary tract, with poor prognosis due to its aggressive nature and limited therapeutic options. Early detection of GBC is a major challenge, with most GBCs being detected accidentally during cholecystectomy procedures for gallbladder stones. This letter comments on the recent article by Deqing in the , which summarized the various current methods used in early diagnosis of GBC, including endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) examination of the gallbladder for high-risk GBC patients, and the use of EUS-guided elastography, contrast-enhanced EUS, trans-papillary biopsy, natural orifice transluminal endoscopic surgery, magnifying endoscopy, choledochoscopy, and confocal laser endomicroscopy when necessary for early diagnosis of GBC.

: Central and branch retinal artery occlusion (CRAO and BRAO) are critical causes of acute vision loss, predominantly affecting older adults with systemic vascular pathology. These occlusions typically result from embolic events, leading to partial or complete retinal ischemia. : This retrospective case series report details of our 10-year experience using the 1064 nm Nd:YAG laser for Transluminal Nd:YAG Embolysis (TYE) in order to lyse visible emboli within the retinal arteries.

Article Synopsis
  • - The study investigates the effectiveness and safety of using the "electrified wire" technique for creating fenestrations in various types of aortic stent-grafts to treat complex aortic aneurysms.
  • - Results showed that the Zenith and RelayPro stent-grafts performed significantly better than the Endurant in terms of puncture success and fenestration size post-ballooning.
  • - While some damage such as fraying and tearing occurred across all groups, the Endurant group required additional treatment for stenosis, unlike the RelayPro and Zenith groups which showed no significant issues post-procedure.

Article Synopsis
  • - The study aimed to compare the safety and effectiveness of transluminal foam sclerotherapy combined with endovenous laser ablation (EVLA) against EVLA alone for treating small saphenous vein incompetence, focusing on changes in the venous clinical severity score (VCSS) over one year.
  • - Researchers conducted the study by using a sheath for foam sclerotherapy during the EVLA procedure, assessing various outcomes such as VCSS changes, reflux recurrence, and complications at multiple time points after treatment.
  • - Results indicated that while the change in VCSS wasn't significantly impactful, the combination treatment (TLFS + EVLA) led to lower rates of residual or recurrent reflux compared to EVLA alone, suggesting TLFS
