Altogether, these integrative technologies will allow monitoring of global gene regulation in thousands of individual cells and will offer an unprecedented opportunity to investigate features of human brain development and disease across multiple cellular modalities and with cell-type resolution.Septorhinoplasty by disarticulation is an esthetic and functional solution for naturally occuring nasal pyramid dysmorphia, releasing the anatomic traces of growth-related stresses. Disarticulating the septolateral cartilage from its bony framework via a closed approach to the septal pocket is associated to Rethi's external approach in order to disarticulate the fibrocartilaginous nasal dorsum, while conserving its integrity, under the bony dorsum. The bony pyramid is then disarticulated down to the nasion, after resecting any bone hump, by 2 paramedian and 2 low lateral osteotomies in the basal groove. The lateral sides of the bony pyramid are then fractured at their posterior edges by percutaneous pinching to close the open roof and realign them along the midline. The septolateral cartilage, reduced as necessary at the inferior and anterior edges, is thereafter repositioned on the premaxillary bone. Traction on its anterior edge restores rectilinear frontal and lateral tension in the fibrocartilaginous dorsum, fully conserved from its attachment to the nasion. This technique corrects any septal deformity and restores frontal and lateral dorsum straightness.There are several slightly invasive methods to detect colorectal carcinoma (CRC) including colonoscopy and sigmoidoscopy; but there is no noninvasive, accurate screening test. It is recommended to initiate screening at the age of 50 for non-familial CRC. Laboratory tests are routinely suggested if internal observation and imaging are recommended for further evaluation. Spectroscopic-based imaging, such as magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS) is an interesting and promising tool with the potential to be an alternative to some minimally invasive procedures, such as biopsy. Accordingly, MRS might be a suitable substitution for invasive methods, such as colonoscopy. This article aimed to review the studies that have evaluated the MRS technique as a screening tool in CRC.

Gastrointestinal stromal tumours (GISTs) are the most common mesenchymal tumours of the digestive tract with malignant potential. The current risk classification standard is unable to accurately evaluate the invasiveness and clinical outcomes of GISTs. Ki-67 labelling index (LI) may be an effective indicator in assessing tumour invasiveness and prognosis, however, its exact value in GISTs is still uncertain. The aims of our study were to evaluate the correlation of the Ki-67 LI and clinicopathological features of GISTs and to assess the potential value of the Ki-67 LI in GISTs classification and prognosis.

The clinical, pathological and prognostic data were collected and analysed to identify the independent influential factors of GISTs risk stratification and the predictors of GISTs prognosis.

The Ki-67 LI was significantly associated with the clinicopathological features of tumour progression (P<0.05). It was an independent influential factor of GISTs risk classification (odds ratio 1.322; 95% confidence interval 1.031-1.696) (P=0.028), and the area under the curve (AUC) value of the Ki-67 LI on the discrimination ability of GISTs risk stratification was 0.906 (P<0.001). The optimal cutoff value of the Ki-67 LI was 6% (sensitivity of 87.5% and specificity of 76.2%), and patients with Ki-67 LI≥6% exhibited significantly poorer progression-free survival (PFS) than those with Ki-67 LI<6% (P<0.001). The AUC value of the Ki-67 LI for predicting PFS in postoperative patients was 0.813 (P=0.03).

The Ki-67 LI has appreciated value to predict the risk grade and prognosis of GISTs. Patients with Ki-67 LI≥6% are prone to recurrence and metastasis after operation and may need a close follow-up.

It can mimic pancreatic cancer, leading to errors in diagnosis and treatment increasing rates of morbidity and mortality in patients. The aim of this review is to take a differential diagnostic approach to these two entities using epidemiology, clinical and laboratory findings, imaging and histopathology.

Eating disorders (ED) constitute an important group of conditions that commonly occur in adolescents. Gastrointestinal complaints are frequently reported in ED patients. Few studies assessed the association of irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) with ED. The aim of the current study is to determine the prevalence of ED in a group of IBS patients and compare it with a healthy control group and assess the relationship of IBS sub-types, it's duration and severity with ED.

100 IBS patients diagnosed according to the Rome-IV criteria and a control group consisting of 100 healthy adults, between 18 and 65 years old, were enrolled in this study. Sub-type, duration and severity of IBS were determined. All participants were requested to fill questionnaires to screen for ED.

200 subjects participated in the study. Navitoclax 118(59%) were female and 92(41%) were male. The Eating Attitudes Test (EAT) score was significantly higher in the IBS group (Odds ratio 5.3 CI 95%4.3-9.3; p<0.001). The number of subjects with EAT score >30 was significantly higher in the IBS group (p<0.001). EAT scores were significantly higher in female IBS patients and in younger patients (p=0.013 and p=0.043; respectively). No significant association between the IBS sub-type and EAT score was found (p>0.05). However, IBS severity and duration positively correlated with EAT scores.

ED should be considered in the management of IBS patients. Since many psychological factors can exacerbate IBS symptoms a multidisciplinary approach consisting of medical and behavioral therapeutic modalities should be employed for a better management of these patients.
