"a fine-needle aspiration (FNA) biopsy, especially one guided by endoscopic ultrasound (EUS-FNA), is a valuable diagnostic tool for pancreatic tuberculosis. This procedure allows doctors to collect tissue samples to confirm the diagnosis by checking for characteristic signs like granulomas, caseous necrosis, and acid-fast bacilli (AFB) or by using polymerase chain reaction (PCR) to detect the DNA of Mycobacterium tuberculosis. EUS-FNA is especially useful because it can help differentiate pancreatic TB from pancreatic cancer, preventing unnecessary surgery. "  [Collapse]

"In this mini-review, the authors described the current understanding of the pathogenesis, diagnosis, and management of hepatic hydrothorax. Despite the successes of modern hepatology, the presence of hepatic hydrothorax is associated with poor prognosis and high mortality. Most patients with hepatic hydrothorax are candidates for liver transplantation. In usual clinical practice, the key to the success of their management may be the stratification of the risk of an adverse outcome and the definition of individual therapeutic tactics. A pathogenetically based approach to the choice of pharmacotherapy, as well as optimization of minimally invasive treatment methods, will improve the quality of life and increase the survival rate of this category of patients. In general, the authors provided well-known information."  [Collapse]

"In recent years, artificial intelligence (AI) has brought about a real revolution in various fields of human activity, establishing itself as a pioneering innovation in modern medical science. In the field of gastroenterology, and in particular colonoscopy, it has contributed significantly by promoting key quality indicators, reducing the rate of human error, and improving the consistency of endoscopist decision-making with high reliability. Reduce human error and improve endoscopists' decision-making consistency in real time, ensuring higher reliability and standardization during the procedure. By optimizing the characterization of endoscopically detected lesions, supporting visual diagnosis, and predicting the depth of infiltration, AI can enable early diagnosis and prevention of colon cancer. The combination of AI with advanced imaging techniques improves the quality of gastroenterologists' training. However, much remains to be clarified regarding the role of AI in upper and lower gastrointestinal endoscopy. I believe that the official gastroenterological societies of Europe, the USA, and Asia should immediately delve into studying and defining the possibilities, potential risks of the widespread application of the method, and define policies regarding quality assurance, clinician education, data protection, and liability, so that AI successfully complements human intelligence and experience. The innate tendency of people (in this case, endoscopists) to resist adopting these new technologies should not prevail. They can also help validate AI systems in real-world conditions by assessing their performance across a wide range of quality indicators. I want to congratulate the authors for their excellent work in a promising field."  [Collapse]

"This is very interesting paper.Higher serum gamma-glutamyl transpeptidase (γ-GTP) levels are associated with an increased risk of pancreatic cystic neoplasms (PCNs) and their malignant progression. However, γ-GTP is not a specific diagnostic marker for these conditions. Its elevation is more indicative of general liver or biliary dysfunction and oxidative stress. Recent large-scale studies have found that people with higher baseline serum γ-GTP levels have a significantly increased risk of being diagnosed with PCNs later on. This suggests γ-GTP could potentially serve as a biomarker for identifying high-risk individuals for surveillance."  [Collapse]

"Artificial intelligence has brought about a real revolution in various areas of human activities, including medical science. In recent years, AI has also emerged as a method to support the correct diagnosis and treatment of acute pancreatitis. Some elements of AI, such as machine learning, deep learning, natural language processing, and network pharmacology, seem to significantly facilitate diagnostic and therapeutic decisions in the treatment of patients with acute pancreatitis, through the analysis of clinical records, medical images, laboratory values, genomic data, and physiological signals in real time. AI functions as advanced decision support, enhancing clinical judgment with intelligence derived from diagnostic data, assessing risks to the patient from potential complications, and helping safely predict the disease. The authors also discuss future directions for AI development in the treatment of acute pancreatitis. As emphasized by the authors of this review, today's practical medicine often requires an interdisciplinary approach that integrates clinical experience, computational modeling, and ethical design. These largely theoretical data currently have limited application, especially in developing countries worldwide. For all health systems and in any country where AI is applied, its assistance should consist of improving decision-making through hybrid human-artificial intelligence models. The future looks excellent, although it causes concern and fear to the undersigned."  [Collapse]

"This review explores the bidirectional regulation between the gut microbiome and the immune system within the colorectal cancer (CRC) microenvironment. It highlights how microbial metabolites and immune signaling pathways influence tumor progression, immune evasion, and therapeutic response. Key mechanisms include TLR4 and NLRP3 activation, SCFA modulation, and PD-1 pathway interactions.

"This retrospective two-center study investigates ultrasound features of primary intestinal lymphoma in children and their correlation with prognosis. Twenty-eight pediatric cases were classified into focal segmental and extensive types based on sonographic findings. Extensive-type lymphoma was associated with significantly elevated LDH levels and poorer outcomes compared to the segmental type. Ultrasound classification and LDH levels showed strong prognostic relevance, while pathological type, age, and treatment modality did not. The study concludes that ultrasound is a valuable tool for diagnosis, classification, and prognosis prediction in pediatric intestinal lymphoma."  [Collapse]

"This multicenter retrospective study analyzed 189 colorectal cancer (CRC) patients admitted to intensive care units (ICUs) across 37 cancer-specialized hospitals in China. The 90-day mortality rate was relatively low at 12.2%, with elective surgery and conventional oxygen therapy associated with better outcomes. Chemotherapy history and unplanned ICU transfers were linked to higher mortality, while severity scores like SOFA and APACHE II showed only moderate predictive value. This study is commendable for its large-scale, multicenter design and its focus on a clinically important yet underexplored patient population. By identifying key prognostic factors and highlighting the limitations of current scoring systems, the authors provide valuable insights that can inform ICU admission decisions and personalized care strategies for CRC patients."  [Collapse]

"1 Ethics: Ethical approval is stated as obtained from a relevant committee, meeting requirements. 2 Methods: Experimental methods (cell culture, molecular/functional assays, microscopy) are standard, well-described, and repeatable via established protocols/citations. 3 Results: Results are authentic (consistent dose-effects, clear molecular data). The hypothesis that Prdx1 inhibits CRC via pyroptosis is partially validated (robust in vitro support, but lacks in vivo/clinical evidence for universal significance). Notably, the loading control (β-actin) appears uneven between N17 and T17 samples, which may raise minor concerns about sample loading consistency. While the study uses three cell lines to validate findings—enhancing data volume and credibility—it would further strengthen translational relevance if the authors validated Prdx1’s effects using patient-derived organoids (PDOs), which better recapitulate in vivo tumor biology. 4 Figures and tables: Figures are well-constructed with clear annotations, and tables present data effectively. However, most images rely heavily on black-and-white visuals, which could be aesthetically enhanced (e.g., using color coding for different groups or molecular targets) to improve readability and visual communication of key results. 5 Biostatistics: Statistical analyses are appropriately applied, with accurate p-values and data visualization (error bars, sample sizes). 6 References: Citations include key recent works on pyroptosis, inflammasomes, and CRC; citations are scientific, relevant, and not overly self-referential. 7 Language: Language is clear, concise, and grammatically correct. 8 Caveats or drawbacks: Animal-level experimental validation is insufficient; currently, only tumor size is assessed. Supplementing with detection of relevant proteins (e.g., NLRP3, GSDMD, caspase-1) or gene expression in tumor tissues from animal models would more be much better. In summary, this study is well-conducted, utilizing paired tumor and adjacent non-tumor tissues from 20 patients, which enhances its clinical relevance. To further extend the current findings, it would be valuable for the authors to employ clinical specimens for establishing patient-derived organoids (PDOs) or patient-derived xenograft (PDX) models in future work, thereby validating the results in an in vivo context. Additionally, given the involvement of immunogenic cell death (ICD) discussed in the study, subsequent research could also explore the efficacy and underlying mechanisms related to tumor immunity.

"This large-scale, 20-year retrospective study by Huang et al. is a significant achievement, successfully establishing the first genome-wide polygenic risk score (PRS) for diabetic retinopathy (DR) in a Taiwanese Han population. The study's key contribution is demonstrating that a high PRS is strongly associated not just with DR incidence, but more critically, with disease severity requiring interventions like laser treatment or surgery. This suggests the PRS could be a valuable tool for identifying patients needing more intensive monitoring. Despite these strengths, the study highlights a crucial unresolved issue: the clinical utility of the PRS beyond existing risk factors. The central question remaining is whether this genetic information provides actionable predictive power over and above standard clinical data such as HbA1c and diabetes duration. Furthermore, the findings' generalizability to other ethnicities is yet to be determined, as the study was confined to a specific Asian population. Therefore, the essential next step is to conduct prospective validation studies aimed at creating an integrated risk model. Such a model would combine the PRS with established clinical variables to definitively quantify its added value in personalizing DR screening strategies and improving patient outcomes."  [Collapse]

"This study has compared several computational methods to be used in the predication of prognosis for acute variceal bleeding in cirrhosis patients. Author claimed that the convolution network by their efforts displayed the best effect in the outcomes analysis rather than another methods. However, the specific features in different subgroups with data presentations using AI or other computational methods lacked in the full analysis to be performed in the compared computation process. This means that this study only provides the end result for supporting their analysis as they wanted. In addition, the standard between high and low risk group presented to differ significantly without clinical parameters in this study. "  [Collapse]

"The retrospective study by Huang and colleagues provides valuable insights into the prevalence and clinicopathological significance of HER2 expression in upper tract urothelial carcinoma. Their finding that HER2 overexpression is strongly associated with high tumor grade but not with conventional markers of disease progression underscores the distinct biological behavior of UTUC compared to bladder cancer. This work is particularly relevant as it highlights a potential therapeutic target in a disease with limited treatment options. However, the clinical implications of HER2 expression in UTUC must now be reinterpreted in light of the practice changing results presented at the ESMO Congress 2025. The phase 3 RC48 C016 trial demonstrated for the first time that a combination of the anti HER2 antibody drug conjugate disitamab vedotin and the anti PD1 immunotherapy toripalimab significantly outperforms standard platinum based chemotherapy in the first line treatment of HER2 expressing locally advanced or metastatic urothelial carcinoma. The results are striking: Progression free survival was nearly doubled (13.1 months versus 6.5 months; HR = 0.36); Overall survival showed a remarkable improvement (31.5 months versus 16.9 months; HR = 0.54); Benefits were consistent across all HER2 expression levels (IHC 1+, 2+, and 3+); and The combination also exhibited a more favorable safety profile. These findings represent a paradigm shift. For the first time, a biomarker directed strategy has proven superior to chemotherapy in the first line setting for advanced UC. Given that HER2 expression is found in up to 70% of urothelial carcinomas, this new regimen could benefit a majority of patients. In this context, the work by Huang et al gains even greater importance. Their observation that nearly half of UTUC tumors (46.2%) show HER2 positivity especially in high grade disease suggests that a substantial proportion of UTUC patients may be candidates for this novel, highly effective combination therapy. The authors call for clinical trials evaluating HER2 targeted therapies in high grade, HER2 positive UTUC is now more urgent than ever. Future studies should urgently validate the efficacy of disitamab vedotin plus toripalimab in UTUC specific cohorts and explore its potential in earlier disease stages. The era of biomarker driven therapy for urothelial carcinoma has arrived, and HER2 is firmly at its center. Reference: Sheng X, He Z, Zhang G, et al.

"This study offers a compelling and innovative exploration of colonoscopy quality, addressing the critical interplay between insertion time and withdrawal duration to optimize adenoma detection rate (ADR). The proposed "insertion-to-withdrawal" paradigm marks a significant departure from fixed withdrawal time standards, advocating for a personalized approach—a novel and practical advancement. The development of a Shiny app to deliver real-time, individualized guidance further enhances its clinical relevance, providing endoscopists with a valuable tool to improve outcomes. Several aspects warrant deeper consideration. First, the hybrid SVM-XGBoost model's modest discriminative performance (AUC ≈ 0.64) suggests limitations in its current predictive power, likely due to unaddressed variables such as bowel preparation nuances, insertion difficulty, or segment-specific inspection times. Expanding the dataset with multicenter inputs and incorporating these factors could refine its accuracy. Second, while insertion time serves as a proxy for procedural complexity, its validation against objective difficulty scales or video analysis would bolster the mechanistic basis of the findings. Third, the personalized strategy’s generalizability remains untested; prospective multicenter validation across diverse demographics, endoscopist expertise, and regions is essential. Finally, evaluating real-world app adoption and its impact on ADR adherence would provide critical evidence of its efficacy. Overall, this study lays a robust foundation for data-driven personalization in endoscopy, moving beyond uniform metrics. With further refinement and validation, it has the potential to transform clinical practice significantly. "  [Collapse]

"I want to congratulate Yang-Yang Xiong for publishing an excellent study comparing Endoscopic Clip or EUS Coil-assisted glue for gastric varices. The authors have shown that EUS-guided therapy is more costly and involves high operating time; however, it has similar technical eradication of gastric varices and re-bleeding rates even in larger varices > 4 cm. The size comparison may not be uniform, as the Endoscopic group measured by endoscopic appearance, which may be as accurate as EUS measurement. The Authors have shown only a 5-day rebleeding rate; adding delayed rates could have been more impactful. There is a discrepancy in the table and image regarding post-injection ulcer; the Image shows a post-glue ulcer in both groups, whereas in the table, it was zero; these typographical errors could have been avoided. The eradication time frame is not mentioned; whether it is immediately or 5 days, as the rebleeding rate or any other time frame is not clear.

"This article provides a timely and valuable overview of emerging therapeutic strategies for managing IBD. The integration of physical exercise and VNS as adjuncts to traditional pharmacological treatments is particularly relevant, as clinicians are increasingly seeking non-invasive and complementary approaches to help manage chronic inflammatory diseases. The article does an excellent job of explaining how these interventions may improve autonomic regulation, reduce inflammation, and promote gut health, which are all essential factors in managing the symptoms and progression of IBD. The focus on the vagus nerve’s role in regulating the immune system through the cholinergic anti-inflammatory pathway presents an interesting potential for VNS as a therapeutic tool. The idea that VNS could restore normal immune function, protect the intestinal barrier, and improve the composition of the gut microbiota is compelling, especially for patients who do not respond adequately to conventional treatments. This could open new avenues for clinical practice, offering patients a holistic approach to managing IBD. However, one of the challenges noted in the article is the variability in response to these non-pharmacological interventions. The review highlights how factors such as exercise intensity, duration, and individual patient factors can influence outcomes. This reflects a common issue in clinical practice, where personalized approaches are often required to determine the best intervention for a given patient. While the evidence for the benefits of physical exercise and VNS in IBD is promising, further studies are needed to establish standardized protocols and validate these therapies in diverse patient populations. The inclusion of vagotomy as a counterpoint to VNS and exercise also brings an important clinical consideration into focus. The article explains how vagotomy, by disrupting the vagal pathway, may exacerbate intestinal inflammation and worsen IBD symptoms. This serves as a reminder of the delicate balance between parasympathetic and sympathetic nervous system function and the potential risks of interfering with this balance in patients with chronic inflammatory conditions.

"Hu et al. (World J Gastroenterol. 2025;31:109528) presented a multicenter study evaluating image-guided thermal ablation (IGTA) for oligometastatic colorectal cancer (CRC) with lung involvement. Among 336 patients treated between 2014 and 2022, the 3- and 5-year overall survival rates were 59.5% and 41.0%, respectively, demonstrating meaningful long-term benefit. Extrapulmonary metastases, particularly in the bone and abdominal cavity, significantly worsened outcomes, whereas patients with liver-only metastases had comparatively favorable survival. Elevated tumor markers (CEA, CA19-9), greater tumor burden, and absence of systemic therapy were adverse prognostic factors. Notably, combining IGTA with systemic therapy improved overall survival.

"Recent research has uncovered fascinating insights into how a protein called FLOT1 drives liver cancer growth. Scientists found that FLOT1 disrupts normal cellular processes by triggering stress in the Golgi apparatus, essentially giving cancer cells the green light to grow and spread more aggressively. While these findings are exciting and point to FLOT1 as a promising target for new cancer treatments, we still need clinical trials to validate them in patients.

"Machine Learning in Surgical Decision-Making and Non-Surgical Treatment of Alveolar Echinococcosis Fengying liu,Yongfang Xie Introduce ..."  [Read more]
"Machine Learning in Surgical Decision-Making and Non-Surgical Treatment of Alveolar Echinococcosis Fengying liu,Yongfang Xie Introduce Alveolar Echinococcosis (AE) is a chronic, progressive liver disease caused by the ingestion of Echinococcus multilocularis larvae, with foxes and wild dogs as definitive hosts and rodents as intermediate hosts1. It typically centers in the liver, slowly spreading and metastasizing, with an incubation period lasting 5 to 15 years. Due to early non-specific symptoms such as fever and weight loss, patients are often difficult to diagnose in the early stages. In the later stages, continuous asexual reproduction of Echinococcus multilocularis and severe inflammatory granulomatous infiltration around the parasite lead to widespread fibrosis and necrosis. Without timely treatment, the mortality rate of patients can reach 90% within 10 years1. Currently, radical surgery combined with adjuvant chemotherapy is the only curative treatment method2. However, most patients are diagnosed at advanced stages, missing the optimal timing for liver resection. Ex vivo liver resection and liver autotransplantation (ELRA)3 offer hope for these patients, but traditional surgical decision-making often relies on the clinical experience of surgeons, which can be subjective and prone to bias. In recent years, machine learning has made significant progress in the medical field, especially in disease prediction, treatment selection, and clinical diagnosis, showing tremendous potential for development. By processing large amounts of clinical data, machine learning uncovers complex underlying relationships and assists doctors in making more accurate and objective decisions. Against this backdrop, I carefully reviewed the study published by Da-Long Zhu et al., and found that in the treatment of Alveolar Echinococcosis (HAE), machine learning not only aids in surgical decision-making but also provides valuable support for patients undergoing non-surgical treatments, driving the development of precision medicine4. 1.The Advantages and Challenges of Machine Learning in the Explainability of Surgical Decision-Making for HAE 1.1 Innovative Analysis of Machine Learning Da-Long Zhu et al. conducted a retrospective cohort study based on data from the First Affiliated Hospital of Xinjiang Medical University, including 710 patients, of whom 545 underwent liver resection and 165 underwent ex vivo liver resection and ELRA. The authors innovatively applied three feature selection techniques—recursive feature elimination, minimum redundancy maximum relevance, and LASSO regression—with cross-validation to enhance the model. Ultimately, they identified 10 key features from the extensive clinical data, including lesion size, vascular invasion type, bile duct invasion degree, white blood cell count, platelet count, hemoglobin, indirect bilirubin, serum creatinine, γ-glutamyl transferase, and prothrombin time. These features are closely related to the prognosis of HAE and provide important data support for surgical decision-making. Da-Long Zhu et al. systematically compared the performance and explainability of 11 machine learning models, ultimately selecting the XGBoost model and using Bayesian optimization for hyperparameter tuning.XGBoost5,as an efficient ensemble learning algorithm, demonstrates strong predictive ability in various classification and regression tasks. Model evaluation showed an AUC of 0.935 for the training set and 0.734 for the validation set, with a sensitivity of 93.6% and a specificity of 90.9%. Both the calibration curve and decision curve displayed good clinical utility, effectively predicting whether a patient is suitable for liver resection or ELRA. Furthermore, XGBoost, with its ensemble learning characteristics, reduces the risk of overfitting, providing a stable decision-making tool. To improve the interpretability of the model, Da-Long Zhu et al. employed the SHAP analysis method5 to explain the contribution of each feature to the prediction. Further analysis of the results revealed that vascular invasion type is a key factor in choosing ELRA, while indicators such as platelet count, prothrombin time, and hemoglobin reflect the patient's coagulation function, liver reserve, and inflammatory status. For instance, when significant invasion of the hepatic vein and inferior vena cava is present, the choice of ELRA is more likely, whereas for patients with no vascular invasion or only portal vein involvement, liver resection is preferred. Through SHAP analysis, the model's prediction process became more transparent, enhancing clinicians' trust in the model. 1.2 Limitations and Challenges of the Model It is commendable that Da-Long Zhu et al. accurately identified the clinical decision-making challenges in the surgical treatment of AE and achieved satisfactory results. However, the model still has some limitations. First, the sample size is relatively small, and the data comes from a single source, which may not fully represent patients from different regions or healthcare settings. Secondly, imaging examinations, such as CT scans, are an important tool for diagnosing HAE. However, the study did not conduct a deeper analysis and evaluation of the quantitative features extracted from imaging omics data, such as tumor morphology, texture, and other imaging features6. According to the research by Yener Aydin et al7, HAE often presents with characteristics such as pulmonary nodules, lesions, cavities, and metastatic tumors in imaging. In clinical practice, small solid nodules are easily confused with malignant tumors. Machine learning can help identify the differences and make accurate judgments. In addition to the XGBoost model used by Da-Long Zhu et al., other machine learning models also have their advantages in clinical prediction tasks. To facilitate the rational selection and comparison of models in this field, the following summary is provided (Table 1). Table 1 Model Advantages Limitations XGBoost8 Robust performance, accurate predictions, and comprehensive functionality, suitable for medium-sized data Slower training speed; risk of overfitting, requires regularization control LightGBM9 Extremely fast training speed, high memory efficiency, suitable for large-scale data Higher risk of overfitting on small datasets CatBoost10 Excellent handling of categorical features, high prediction accuracy, fast training speed, strong anti-overfitting ability Lower model flexibility TabNet11 Attention-based deep learning framework, high performance potential, built-in interpretability Requires large datasets and computational power Therefore, future research should focus on multi-center, large-sample validation to improve the external validity and generalizability of the model. Additionally, extracting quantitative features from imaging omics should be prioritized to enhance the clinical relevance and application value of the model. 2. The Prospects of Machine Learning in Non-Surgical Treatment of HAE 2.1 Current Non-Surgical Treatment Methods for HAE The non-surgical treatment of HAE relies on albendazole-based medications12, which interfere with microtubule formation by binding to β-tubulin, thereby impairing nutrient absorption and parasite growth. However, albendazole does not kill the parasite and has significant hepatotoxicity. Therefore, although the medication can improve patient survival rates, its effectiveness remains limited, especially for patients who cannot undergo surgery. In such cases, prevention and continuous monitoring become crucial treatment strategies. In addition to conventional drug therapy, the development of new drugs is also an important direction for non-surgical treatment. Mefloquine12 has shown certain advantages in terms of its anti-parasitic effect and lower hepatotoxicity.Furthermore, progress has been made in vaccine development, such as the recombinant Tetraspanin 3 vaccine13 , which induces strong local and systemic immune responses, effectively protecting humans from infections of Echinococcus multilocularis in the intestine, bloodstream, and liver. However, these studies have not yet undergone large-scale clinical trials and face challenges regarding individual variations in efficacy. 2.2 The Prospects of Machine Learning in HAE Non-Surgical Treatment Through Imaging and Multi-Omics Data Machine learning also shows great potential in the non-surgical treatment of HAE. By deeply analyzing patients' imaging features and multi-omics data, machine learning can provide precise analysis in early disease diagnosis, treatment processes, and prognosis assessment. Since early symptoms of HAE are often atypical, making early detection difficult, machine learning can significantly enhance the accuracy of early intervention, treatment effectiveness, and prognosis prediction through the deep analysis of imaging features and multi-omics data. CT scans and MRI images, as the most commonly used imaging tools, help doctors make judgments by analyzing features such as lesion size and shape. Machine learning can extract characteristics such as tumor morphology, size, density, and texture, allowing it to identify potential lesions even before clear clinical symptoms appear. By analyzing features like irregular tumor borders and vascular invasion, machine learning can alert clinicians to high-risk patients without obvious symptoms, assisting in decisions about whether to proceed with surgery or opt for non-surgical treatment. Additionally, features such as cavitation and cystic changes in imaging can reflect the prognosis of the disease. In conjunction with imaging data, integrated multi-omics analysis (Table 2) can also help identify early biomarkers for HAE. Machine learning can extract features from miRNA1,lncRNAs14, transcriptomics15 and metabolomics , revealing molecular-level changes in the liver of HAE patients. The significant expression of certain miRNAs in HAE, as well as changes in the expression of liver fibrosis-related genes and immune factors, not only aid in early diagnosis but also allow for the detection of treatment responses, helping clinicians assess treatment efficacy and adjust treatment plans (Table 3). Table 2 Application Methods/Techniques Imaging Features U-Net16,SVM Surgical Decision XGBoost,LightGBM,CatBoost Multi-Omics Data SNF17,DeepProg17,FM Table 3 Application Area Traditional Methods Machine Learning Diagnosis Relies on imaging examinations and subjective judgment Automatically extracts imaging features, improving diagnostic accuracy and reducing subjective bias Surgical Decision Relies on the experience and clinical judgment of surgeons Provides objective, data-driven decision support based on extensive clinical data Personalization Lacks personalization Analyzes multi-omics and imaging data to revise treatment plans Early Diagnosis Relies on clinical symptoms Combines imaging and omics data to identify potential lesions early Summary The study by Da-Long Zhu et al. applies machine learning to surgical decision-making in HAE, providing a more objective and accurate approach to disease treatment. By using various feature selection methods and the XGBoost model, the study successfully identified key features from a large amount of clinical data. The use of SHAP analysis enhanced the model's interpretability, increasing clinicians' trust in the machine learning model. These findings play a crucial role in surgical decision-making and provide strong data support for HAE treatment decisions. By combining imaging and multi-omics analysis, machine learning can play a significant role in both surgical and non-surgical treatment of HAE. However, current research still faces challenges, such as small sample sizes and single-source data, which affect the external validity and generalizability of the model. Additionally, there is still a lack of feature extraction and in-depth analysis of imaging omics and multi-omics data. Future research should focus on multi-center, large-sample validation to further improve the model's interpretability and clinical relevance. In conclusion, machine learning demonstrates enormous potential in the surgical and non-surgical treatment of HAE. In the future, it will provide data support and objective analysis for early diagnosis, treatment effectiveness evaluation, and long-term prognosis of HAE patients. Citation 1. Boubaker, G. et al.

"The quality of evidence is really poor in this article. Besides, there is a real conflict of interest: the author works as a speaker for the laboratory in Mexico, and this is an ethical issue. The conclusion is not valid without the statistical analysis. The sample size is very small, and readers should not believe that sylimarine is useful in MASLD "  [Collapse]

"Great subject, it is very difficult to define when autoimmune hepatitis is refractory and when we should change therapy to a second line. Most of the time, patients receive steroids for long periods, and that is unnecessary. It is very important to switch patients as soon as possible, instead of repeating steroid treatments for long periods, and second- and third-line options are safe and effective treatments, and hepatologists should not be afraid to use them "  [Collapse]
