Lower intestinal resection, stricture risks in CD seen in anti-TNF era

12 Feb 2022

The increased use of immunosuppressants and antitumour necrosis factor (anti-TNF) appears to have facilitated positive changes in the natural history of paediatric-onset Crohn’s disease (CD), with lower rates of both intestinal resections and stricturing complications, a study reports.

Recurrent node-positive breast cancer reveals distant metastasis in patients

12 Feb 2022

Distant metastasis is present in all patients with node-positive breast cancer (NPBC) at the time of recurrence, reveals a study. Compared with diffusely metastatic (DM) patients, those with oligometastasis (OM) have shorter time to recurrence but longer overall survival (OS).

Digital cholangioscopy upgrades IOA, accuracy for biliary stricture assessment

12 Feb 2022

Eight visual criteria, named the Monaco Classification, have been identified for biliary lesions on digital single-operator cholangioscopy (DSOC), according to a study. Using these criteria has improved the interobserver agreement (IOA) and diagnostic accuracy rate of DSOC compared with previous studies.

Hypoglycaemia in cooled HIE infants ups risk of brain injury, poor neurocognitive development

11 Feb 2022

Hypoglycaemia appears to be common among infants who receive therapeutic hypothermia for hypoxic-ischaemic encephalopathy, a new study reveals. Moreover, these infants also tend to show higher degrees of brain injury and lower cognitive function at school age.
