Next-generation immunoassays for autoantibody detection in celiac disease: emerging technologies and diagnostic advances.
The appearance of disease‑specific autoantibodies (Aab) is a hallmark of celiac disease (CeD). The recent adaption of a no‑biopsy approach places greater reliance on Aab testing. Despite their widespread use, conventional assay formats such as enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays (ELISA)…
Gangrenous cholecystitis as a sentinel manifestation of chronic mesenteric ischemia in a hepatomesenteric trunk.
Chronic mesenteric ischemia is an uncommon and often underdiagnosed atherosclerotic condition due to nonspecific symptoms. The hepatomesenteric trunk is a rare anatomical variant with important clinical implications when its common origin is involved. We report the case of a 43-year-old heavy smoker…
Characterization of visceral branch geometry in a four-branch off-the-shelf device for endovascular repair of paravisceral and thoracoabdominal aortic aneurysms.
This study aims to evaluate visceral branch geometry, including angulation, tortuosity, and diameter, of the GORE EXCLUDER thoracoabdominal branch endoprosthesis (TAMBE) in real-world utilization. All patients were identified and treated with TAMBE from June 2024 to June 2025 at a single institution…
Complete false lumen exclusion by superior mesenteric artery revascularization with balloon angioplasty and bridging stent grafting followed by thoracic endovascular aortic repair in a patient with complex chronic type B aortic dissection.
Endovascular exclusion of the false lumen (FL) in chronic type B aortic dissection is challenging when visceral branches depend on FL perfusion. We report a case of chronic type B aortic dissection in which the superior mesenteric artery (SMA) originated from the FL with concomitant celiac artery oc…
Stepwise management of median arcuate ligament syndrome with visceral artery aneurysm: Surgical ligament release followed by percutaneous transluminal angioplasty.
A woman in her 20s presented with an 8-year history of postprandial abdominal pain. Contrast-enhanced computed tomography revealed severe stenosis at the origin of the celiac artery, collateral circulation from the superior mesenteric artery, and an associated inferior pancreaticoduodenal artery ane…
A dual-mode electrochemical-colorimetric aptasensor based on HCR-CRISPR/Cas12a cascade amplification for MTGase detection.
Microbial transglutaminase (MTGase) is widely used in food processing, but its potential food safety risks cannot be neglected. MTGase-treated wheat products show immunoreactivity, which may induce celiac disease and damage intestinal barrier function. Therefore, trace detection of MTGase is of grea…
Hypoglycemia associated with median arcuate ligament syndrome surgery.
We present a patient who developed symptomatic hypoglycemia following surgical treatment for median arcuate ligament syndrome (MALS). The patient experienced predominately postprandial hypoglycemia after higher carbohydrate meals. Clinical findings revealed postprandial hyperinsulinemic hypoglycemia…
Computed Tomography-Based Anatomical and Morphometric Analysis of the Left and Right Gastric Arteries in a Vietnamese Population.
Anatomical variations of the left gastric artery (LGA) and right gastric artery (RGA) are clinically relevant for gastric surgery and endovascular interventions. This study aimed to characterize the origin, anatomical distribution and morphometric features of the LGA and RGA using 64-slice computed…
