The new 2019 WHO classification of digestive system tumors reflects some important advancements in our understanding of etiopathogenesis and molecular background of selected neoplastic diseases of the gastrointestinal tract, offers more integrated review of non-epithelial neoplasms and updates the spectrum of genetic tumor syndromes of the digestive system. Recently recognized conditions, such as gastroblastoma and “gastric adenocarcinoma and proximal poly-posis of the stomach” are described, including molecular alterations associated with these entities. On the other hand, the new interpretation of some topics, mainly grading of serrated lesions or ICD-O coding of adenomas and dysplasia, is rather controversial. Last but not least, the definition of pTis in the large intestine according to WHO conflicts its definition according to AJCC/UICC TNM classification, 8th edition, issued in 2017.

Background: Feline diarrhea is a common digestive tract disease in clinical practice, with watery feces as the main clinical manifestation. There are numerous pathogenic factors causing feline diarrhea, among which viral infections are prevalent, and feline panleukopenia virus (FPV) is the most common pathogen. In recent years, a variety of novel viruses have been detected in the intestines of cats with diarrhea.

Purpose: To describe a case of short common trunk of the occipital artery (OA) and ascending pharyngeal artery (APA) arising from the internal carotid artery (ICA).

Methods: A 36-year-old woman with a history of surgical resection of a right lateral ventricular meningioma and atheromatous plaque of the right ICA underwent cranial magnetic resonance (MR) imaging and MR angiography of the head and neck region with a 3-Tesla scanner.

Results: MR angiography of the neck region showed a small atheromatous plaque at the origin of the right ICA and an anomalous artery arising from the posteromedial aspect of the right ICA at the distal end of the carotid bulb.

Quantification of Vascular Remodeling and Sinusoidal Capillarization to Assess Liver Fibrosis with Photoacoustic Imaging.

Radiology

January 2025

From the Department of Radiology, The Third Affiliated Hospital of Southern Medical University (Academy of Orthopedics, Guangdong Province), Guangzhou, China (W.L., L.S., R.Z., Y.Z.); and Medical Research Center, Guangdong Provincial People's Hospital, Guangdong Academy of Medical Sciences, Southern Medical University, Zhongshan 2nd Rd, Yuexiu District, Guangzhou 510000, People's Republic of China (J.L., H.L., X.Z., F.X., T.S., K.L., L.N.).

Background Photoacoustic microscopy (PAM) can be used to detect strong absorption from endogenous and exogenous contrast material, making it promising for detailed structural and functional imaging of hepatic sinusoids, including dynamic visualization of permeability. Purpose To evaluate whether PAM-based quantitative parameters of liver function and integrity (lacunarity, blood oxygen saturation [Sao], and Evans blue [EB] permeability) are associated with histopathologic indexes of fibrosis in a mouse model. Materials and Methods Between October 2022 and July 2023, a total of 35 male C57BL/6 mice were included in this study and received intraperitoneal injection of carbon tetrachloride to establish mouse models of progressive liver fibrosis, with seven mice in each group.

Diet-Microbiome-ENS connection: Impact of the Cafeteria Diet.

Am J Physiol Gastrointest Liver Physiol

January 2025

Digestive Diseases, Emory University, Atlanta, GA, United States.

The interplay between diet-induced obesity and gastrointestinal dysfunction is an evolving area of research with far-reaching implications for understanding the gutbrain axis interactions. In their study, Ramírez-Maldonado et al. employ a cafeteria (CAF) diet model to investigate the effects on gut microbiota, enteric nervous system (ENS) integrity and function, and gastrointestinal motility in mice.

Impact of Maxillomandibular Sagittal Variations on Upper Airway Dimensions: A Retrospective Cross-sectional CBCT Evaluation.

J Contemp Dent Pract

October 2024

Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, College of Dentistry, Ibn Al-Nafis University for Medical Sciences, Sana'a, Yemen, Phone: +86 18682960907, e-mail: Orcid: https://orcid.org/0000-0002-6906-8279.

Aim: This study aimed to analyze the upper airway dimensions in adult patients with different anteroposterior (sagittal) skeletal malocclusions (class I, II, and III) using cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) imaging.

Materials And Methods: This retrospective cross-sectional study involved 90 CBCT records from adult subjects who were categorized into three skeletal groups based on their ANB values: Class I ( = 30), class II ( = 30), and class III ( = 30) and were evaluated. The following upper airway measurements were considered: oropharyngeal airway volume, hypopharyngeal airway volume, pharyngeal airway volume, oropharyngeal airway length, hypopharyngeal airway length, pharyngeal airway length, the most constricted site of the pharyngeal airway, and the most constricted cross-sectional area (MIN-CSA) of the pharyngeal airway.
