Background: The treatment of chronic pancreatitis requires a surgical approach in patients who are refractory to medical therapy. During surgical treatment, ductal decompression is required, but a pancreatectomy is necessary for some patients, such as those with severe stenosis of the pancreatic duct. Indeed, suboptimal procedures lead to recurrent pancreatitis. We used a laparoscopic hybrid approach for patients with severe stenosis of the pancreatic duct. In this report, we present the feasibility and outcomes of our approach.
Methods: We selected a laparoscopic approach for the distal pancreatectomy, which is relatively safe and the effect of reducing the length of the wound is substantial. We selected an open approach for the Frey procedure because complete ductal compression has a high risk for injury to the vessels posterior to the pancreas. We recorded the operative outcomes, postoperative complications, and recurrence of pancreatitis.
Results: We performed the laparoscopic hybrid approach on 3patients between January and December 2018. There were no major intraoperative complications (Clavien-Dindo classification IIIa or more) and the postoperative course was uneventful in all patients. There were no recurrences of pancreatitis and no postoperative pain in all patients in > 2 years of follow-up.
Conclusion: Our hybrid method with a focus on complete ductal compression with safety and minimal invasiveness might be the optimal approach for the surgical treatment of chronic pancreatitis that requires a pancreatectomy with the Frey procedure.

This paper introduces a novel method for spleen segmentation in ultrasound images, using a two-phase training approach. In the first phase, the SegFormerB0 network is trained to provide an initial segmentation. In the second phase, the network is further refined using the Pix2Pix structure, which enhances attention to details and corrects any erroneous or additional segments in the output.

The growing number of connected devices in smart home environments has amplified security risks, particularly from Man-in-the-Middle (MitM) attacks. These attacks allow cybercriminals to intercept and manipulate communication streams between devices, often remaining undetected. Traditional rule-based methods struggle to cope with the complexity of these attacks, creating a need for more advanced, adaptive intrusion detection systems.

The discovery of novel anti-cancer drugs motivated us to synthesize a new series of triple 1,2,3-triazole-based arm scaffolds featuring distinct un functionalized alkyl and/or aryl side chains with possible anti-cancer action using the click chemistry approach under both conventional and green microwave irradiation (MWI) methods. The Cu(I) catalyzed cycloaddition reaction of targeted tris-alkyne with un functionalized aliphatic and aromatic azides has been adopted as an efficient approach for synthesizing the desired click adducts. Microwave irradiation improved the synthetic processes, resulting in higher yields and faster reaction times.

A comprehensive understanding of cadmium (Cd) migration in soils near contaminated hotspots is crucial for optimizing remediation efforts and ensuring crop health. This study investigates agricultural soils from four sites in mining and sewage-irrigation areas, assessing the impact of inorganic and organic fertilizer application on soil Cd remobilization. Results revealed that fertilization, particularly with mineral phosphorus, disrupts soil stability, substantially increases short-term Cd mobility in vulnerable regions.

Phenomic selection based on parental spectra can be used to predict GCA and SCA in a sparse factorial design. Prediction approaches such as genomic selection can be game changers in hybrid breeding. They allow predicting the genetic values of hybrids without the need for their physical production.
