Malondialdehyde-acetaldehyde extracellular matrix protein adducts attenuate unfolded protein response during alcohol and smoking-induced pancreatitis
Epidemiological studies have established alcohol and smoking as independent risk factors for recurrent acute pancreatitis (RAP) and chronic pancreatitis (CP). However, the molecular players responsible for the progressive loss of pancreatic parenchyma … Continue reading
Population-level metagenomics uncovers distinct effects of multiple medications on the human gut microbiome
Medication is a major determinant of human gut microbiome structure, and its overuse increases the risks of morbidity and mortality. However, effects of certain commonly prescribed drugs and multiple medications on the gut microbiome are still under in… Continue reading
Endoscopy COVID-19 Testing Requirements Disproportionately Affect Communities that are Medically Underserved and May Worsen Health Care Disparities
High-quality studies of artificial intelligence in colonoscopy illuminate a next important step
Association of Proton Pump Inhibitor Use With All-cause and Cause-specific Mortality
The use of proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) has rapidly increased in the past two decades. Concerns about the regular use of PPIs contributing to mortality have been raised. Continue reading
Radiomics-Based Machine Learning Models Can Detect Pancreatic Cancer on Prediagnostic CTs at a Substantial Lead Time Prior to Clinical Diagnosis
Our purpose was to detect pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) at the prediagnostic stage (3-36 months prior to clinical diagnosis) using radiomics-based machine learning (ML) models, and to compare performance against radiologists in a case-control… Continue reading
