Epidemiological Trends and Shared Molecular Signatures of Pancreatic Ductal Adenocarcinoma and Diabetes: An Integrative Analysis Based on Global Burden of Disease and Gene Expression Omnibus Datasets

Background: Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) is one of the most lethal malignancies worldwide, and diabetes mellitus has been recognized as both a risk factor for and a potential consequence of PDAC. However, the epidemiological trends and shared molecular mechanisms underlying this association are not completely understood. Methods: We conducted an integrative analysis combining population-level epidemiological data and transcriptomic datasets. ...

CellVizio^® System for Mesothorax Lymphadenopathy Rapid on Site, 18G needle: Pros and Cons

Introduction: The best tissue sample is still very important for the diagnosis of mesothorax lymphadenopathy. In the past 20 years endobronchial ultrasound (EBUS) has been used efficiently in most cases of primary lung cancer disease or metastatic disease. Several new type of needles have been created such 19G, 18G and hybrid biopsies with cryoprobes. Rapid on-site evaluation (ROSE) is used as an additional initial diagnostic tool. Confocal microscopy ...
