Background & Aims: Hepatic encephalopathy (HE), one of the most serious prognostic factors for mortality in alcohol-related cirrhosis (ALD cirrhosis), is not recorded in Danish healthcare registries. However, treatment of HE with lactulose, the universal first-line treatment, can be identified through data on filled prescriptions. This study aimed to investigate if lactulose can be used as a surrogate marker of HE.

Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) is the primary etiological agent of gastric adenocarcinoma, which affects over 60% of the global population, with a significant prevalence in Latin America. Given its impact on the affected population, it is crucial to understand the diagnostic tools available for detecting this infection.

Background: Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) is mostly refractory to immunotherapy due to immunosuppression in the tumor microenvironment and cancer cell-intrinsic T cell tolerance mechanisms. PDAC is described as a "cold" tumor type with poor infiltration by T cells and factors leading to intratumoral T cell suppression have thus received less attention. Here, we identify a cancer cell-intrinsic mechanism that contributes to a T cell-resistant phenotype and describes potential combinatorial therapy.

While the role of cancer stem cells (CSCs) in tumorigenesis, chemoresistance, metastasis, and relapse has been extensively studied in solid tumors, such as adenocarcinomas or sarcomas, the same cannot be said for neuroendocrine neoplasms (NENs). While lagging, CSCs have been described in numerous NENs, including gastrointestinal and pancreatic NENs (PanNENs), and they have been found to play critical roles in tumor initiation, progression, and treatment resistance. However, it seems that there is still skepticism regarding the role of CSCs in NENs, even in light of studies that support the CSC model in these tumors and the therapeutic benefits of targeting them.
