Complementary comments on metastatic liver lesions with exceptional and rare cases
World J Gastroenterol. 2024 Feb 21;30(7):770-773. doi: 10.3748/wjg.v30.i7.770.ABSTRACTLiver metastases can appear in different forms in magnetic resonance imaging. Contrary to popular belief, while radiologists report hypovascular or hypervascular metastatic lesions, exceptional examples may be detected in various tumors. The aim of this article is to improve this review by presenting rare and atypical examples of liver metastasis, as well as cases that might potentially be misdiagnosed as metastases during the process of differential diagnosis.PMID:38515950 | PMC:PMC10950620 | DOI:10.3748/wjg.v30.i7.770 (Source: World Jou...

Red cell distribution width/platelet ratio estimates the 3-year risk of decompensation in Metabolic Dysfunction-Associated Steatotic Liver Disease-induced cirrhosis
CONCLUSION: Altogether these findings suggest the RPR as a valid and potentially applicable non-invasive tool in the prediction of timing and modalities of decompensation in MASLD-related cACLD patients.PMID:38515952 | PMC:PMC10950628 | DOI:10.3748/wjg.v30.i7.685 (Source: World Journal of Gastroenterology : WJG)

Endoscopic ultrasonography-related diagnostic accuracy and clinical significance on small rectal neuroendocrine neoplasms
World J Gastroenterol. 2024 Feb 21;30(7):774-778. doi: 10.3748/wjg.v30.i7.774.ABSTRACTThis research aimed to examine the diagnostic accuracy and clinical significance of endoscopic ultrasonography (EUS) in the context of small rectal neuroendocrine neoplasms (NENs). A total of 108 patients with rectal subepithelial lesions (SELs) with a diameter of < 20 mm were included in the analysis. The diagnosis and depth assessment of EUS was compared to the histology findings. The prevalence of NENs in rectal SELs was 78.7% (85/108). The sensitivity of EUS in detecting rectal NENs was 98.9% (84/85), while the specificity was 52.2...

Metformin and pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors: A systematic review and meta-analysis
CONCLUSION: T2DM represents a risk factor for the insurgence of pNET and is a significant predictor of poor post-treatment TFS of pNET patients. Unfortunately, a few studies with heterogeneous results limited the possibility of exploring the effect of metformin in the diagnosis and prognosis of pNET.PMID:38515954 | PMC:PMC10950617 | DOI:10.3748/wjg.v30.i7.759 (Source: World Journal of Gastroenterology : WJG)
