CXCL10 (IP-10) and anti-ZnT8 autoantibodies: Exploratory indicators of risk in pancreatic transplant rejection Open
Background: Measurement of chemokine CXCL10 is a novel approach to assess the transplant rejection risk and to detect the rejection. While CXCL10 has shown itself to be useful in renal transplants, there are only a few studies on the assoc…

Radiological diagnosis of acute mesenteric ischemia in adult patients: a systematic review and meta-analysis Open
Computed tomography (CT) is widely used in diagnosing acute mesenteric ischemia (AMI), but robust identification of distinctive subtypes and stages of progression is lacking. Systematic literature search in PubMed, Cochrane Library, Web of…

Diagnostic Performance of Clinical and Routine Laboratory Data in Acute Mesenteric Arterial Occlusion—An International Multicenter Study Open
Background: There are no clinical or laboratory markers that can diagnose acute mesenteric ischemia (AMI) accurately. This study aimed to find differences in clinical and laboratory markers between arterial occlusive AMI and other acute ab…

D-Dimer in Acute Mesenteric Venous Thrombosis: A Prospective Case-Control International Multicenter Study Open
Background: Acute mesenteric venous thrombosis (MVT) is rarely suspected as primary diagnosis in emergency departments and still carries an in-hospital mortality rate of above 20%. Objectives: The aim of this study was to find differences …

Biomarkers In Prediction of Acute Mesenteric Ischaemia: a prospective multicentre study (BIPAMI study): a study protocol Open
Background Acute mesenteric ischaemia (AMI) is a life-threatening disease where early diagnosis is critical to avoid morbidity and mortality from extensive irreversible bowel necrosis. Appropriate prediction of presence of bowel necrosis i…

Biomarkers In Prediction of Acute Mesenteric Ischaemia: a prospective multicentre study (BIPAMI study): a study protocol Open
Introduction Acute mesenteric ischaemia (AMI) is a life-threatening disease where early diagnosis is critical to avoid morbidity and mortality from extensive irreversible bowel necrosis. Appropriate prediction of presence of bowel necrosis…

The Utility of 4D-CT Imaging in Primary Hyperparathyroidism Management in a Low-Volume Center Open
Background: Ultrasonography (US) and the 99mTc-sestamibi parathyroid scan (SPS) may have suboptimal accuracy when detecting the localization of enlarged parathyroid gland(s) (PTG). Therefore, the more accurate four-dimensional computed tom…

The Utility of 4D-CT Imaging in Primary Hyperparathyroidism Management in a Low Volume Center Open
Background:
Parathyroid imaging techniques are used in patients with biochemically confirmed primary hyperparathyroidism (pHPT) to detect the localization of enlarged parathyroid gland(s) (PTG) and thereby to allow more focused, unilatera…
View article: Diagnostic accuracy of biomarkers to detect acute mesenteric ischaemia in adult patients: a systematic review and meta-analysis
Diagnostic accuracy of biomarkers to detect acute mesenteric ischaemia in adult patients: a systematic review and meta-analysis Open
Background: Acute mesenteric ischaemia (AMI) is a disease with different pathophysiological mechanisms, leading to a life-threatening condition that is difficult to diagnose based solely on clinical signs. Despite widely acknowledged need …

Complications of chronic pancreatitis prior to and following surgical treatment: A proposal for classification Open
The proposed complication classification improves the understanding of CP. It could be beneficial for clinical decision making, as it provides an opportunity for more comprehensive judgement on patient's needs on the one hand, and on the p…

Flood syndrome following right-sided heart failure: a case report Open
Flood syndrome is a rare condition, where a patient with ascites suffers sudden umbilical hernia rupture and a subsequent drainage of ascitic fluid from the abdominal cavity. The cause of ascites is usually liver cirrhosis. Complications a…

‘Short’ pancreaticojejunostomy might be a valid option for treatment of chronic pancreatitis in many cases Open
Based on our data, in the setting of a uniformly dilated PD, S-PJ provides adequate decompression of the PD. As the clinical outcomes following S-PJ are not inferior to those of L-PJ, S-PJ should be preferred as a surgical option in the ca…

Three-Year Results of a Single-Centre Single-Blinded Randomised Study Evaluating the Impact of Mesh Pore Size on Chronic Pain after Lichtenstein Hernioplasty Open
Background and Aims: The aim of the present study was to determine whether usage of mesh with larger pores, compared with mesh with smaller pores, would result in a decreased rate of chronic pain at 3-year follow-up. According to earlier p…
