[ą?F]Fluspidine PET/CT imaging to assess postoperative pain-associated ?1 receptor expression in female rats under analgesia
Abdominal Imaging 1 min.
Pain assessment in animal models is challenging, as behavioral tests often lack sensitivity. Particularly under analgesia, it is unclear whether pain occurs without medication. Imaging of pain-associated pathways, such as σ1 receptor (σ1R) expression, offers a promising approach to better...
Investigation of cellular senescence in the mouse liver caused by low dose fractionated X-ray therapy
Abdominal Imaging 1 min.
The expanding use of medical diagnostics and radiotherapy has increased public exposure to low dose ionizing radiation (LDIR). A more clinically pressing concern, however, is the unintended irradiation of normal tissues adjacent to the radiotherapy target. Notably, the biological effects of lower cumulative...
Rectal and Rectosigmoid Endoscopy to Assess Endoscopic and Histological Remission in Ulcerative Colitis: A Prospective Study
Abdominal Imaging 1 min.
Despite increasing interest in endoscopic and histological remission as a treatment target in ulcerative colitis (UC), the accuracy of endoscopic and histological findings in the left colon and/or rectum to detect pancolonic remission is poorly known. We aimed to compare the diagnostic accuracy of rectosigmoidoscopy...
Complete duodenal disruption from blunt abdominal trauma successfully managed with multistage surgical and endoscopic interventions: a case report
Abdominal Imaging 1 min.
Complete duodenal disruption from blunt abdominal trauma is rare but life-threatening, especially when involving the second and third portions near the ampulla of Vater, which are essential for bile and pancreatic drainage. Such injuries predispose to high-output fistulas, nutritional depletion, and...
Endoscopic Transmural Drainage of Walled-off Necrosis in Difficult Situations Using a Forward-Viewing Echoendoscope
Abdominal Imaging 3 min.
Acute pancreatitis is a disease of varying severity with a clinical spectrum ranging from mild, self-limiting disease to severe necrotizing pancreatitis associated with significant morbidity and mortality [1]. Approximately 10-20% of patients with acute pancreatitis develop pancreatic and peripancreatic...
