In recent years, newer techniques have become available to the clinician for the diagnosis and treatment of biliary and pancreatic disease. This article emphasizes interventional procedures through the liver, such as percutaneous transhepatic cholangiography, percutaneous transhepatic biliary drainage, and ancillary techniques. Also discussed are the nonsurgical management of bile duct calculi and the diagnosis and treatment of pancreatic tumors, abscesses, and pseudocysts.

Background: Hereditary predisposition to breast and ovarian cancer syndrome (HBOC) is a pathological condition with increased cancer risk, including breast (BC), ovarian cancer (OC), and others. HBOC pathogenesis is caused mainly by germline pathogenic variants (GPV) in BRCA1 and BRCA2 genes. However, other relevant genes are related to this syndrome diagnosis, prognosis, and treatment, including TP53, PALB2, CHEK2, ATM, etc.

Objective: Spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) is a motor neuron disorder encompassing 5q and non-5q forms, causing muscle weakness and atrophy due to spinal cord cell degeneration. Understanding its genetic basis is crucial for genetic counseling and personalized treatment options.
Methods: This study retrospectively analyzed families of patients suspected of SMA at our institution from February 2006 to March 2024.
Clinical features and factors associated with outcomes of antibody-negative autoimmune encephalitis in patients requiring intensive care.
Crit Care
January 2025
Department of Neuro-Intensive Care Unit, The First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University, Zhengzhou, Henan, China.
Background And Objectives: Antibody-negative autoimmune encephalitis (AE) is a form of encephalitis characterized by the absence of detectable autoimmune antibodies, despite immunological evidence. However, data on management of patients with antibody-negative AE in the intensive care unit (ICU) are limited. This study aimed to explore the characteristics and subtypes of antibody-negative AE, assess the effects of immunotherapy, and identify factors independently associated with poor functional outcomes in patients requiring intensive care.

Medical Genetic Diagnosis and Therapy Center, Fujian Maternity and Child Health Hospital, College of Clinical Medicine for Obstetrics and Gynecology and Pediatrics, Fujian Medical University, 18 Daoshan Road, Fuzhou, 350001, China.
Background: Congenital muscular dystrophies (CMDs) and myopathies (CMYOs) are a clinically and genetically heterogeneous group of neuromuscular disorders that share common features, such as muscle weakness, hypotonia, characteristic changes on muscle biopsy and motor retardation. In this study, we recruited eleven families with early-onset neuromuscular disorders in China, aimed to clarify the underlying genetic etiology.
Methods: Essential clinical tests, such as biomedical examination, electromyography and muscle biopsy, were applied to evaluate patient phenotypes.

Orthopedics Department of Zhejiang Rongjun Hospital, Jiaxing City, Zhejiang Province, China.
Background: At present, there is a dearth of objective methodologies for assessing the effectiveness of treatments for Lateral Epicondylitis (LE). This study examined 73 patients suffering from tennis elbow using a multimodal ultrasound approach and investigated the correlation between pertinent indicators and clinical scores.
Methods: 73 patients diagnosed with unilateral tennis elbow by interventional ultrasound at Zhejiang Rongjun Hospital were included in the study.
