TL;DR: The present study suggests that SI resulted in a poorer liver functional reserve and in a higher complication rate after major hepatectomy, and female patients who received 6 cycles or more of OBC, or presenting with abnormal preoperative aspartate aminotransferase and ICG-R15 values should be carefully selected before deciding to undertake a major hepATEctomy.

TL;DR: Galactomannan ELISA seems less sensitive than previously described, and sensitivity can be further reduced by the presence of anti-Aspergillus antibodies.

TL;DR: The frequency of factor II G20210A mutation is frequent in patients with idiopathic portal vein thrombosis and should be assessed under this circumstance and was assessed in this study.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors studied whether danazol, an attenuated androgen, is useful in the management of refractory chronic idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura.

TL;DR: In a specialized setting, P-AR for locally advanced pancreatic adenocarcinoma can be performed safely with limited mortality and morbidity and negative resection margin and the absence of associated venous invasion might predict favorable long-term outcomes.
