Gastric cancer: diagnosis and treatment options.
John C. Layke,Peter P. Lopez +1 more
TL;DR: Primary prevention, by control of modifiable risk factors and increased surveillance of persons at increased risk, is important in decreasing morbidity and mortality.

Peripheral nerve entrapment and injury in the upper extremity.
Sara Neal,Karl B. Fields +1 more

Past, Present, and Future of Minimally Invasive Abdominal Surgery.
TL;DR: New technologies are to be considered under the prism of the history of surgery; natural orifice transluminal endoscopic surgery and single-incision laparoscopic surgery may be considered further steps toward minimization of surgical trauma, although these methods have not yet been standardized.

Inflammatory mechanisms contributing to pancreatic cancer development.
TL;DR: The results demonstrate that similar inflammatory components and downstream effectors are present in CP and pancreatic cancers, and suggest that a common pathway for pancreatic cancer development may be through a chronic inflammatory process including stroma formation.
