Summary: The study evaluated the clinical effect and safety of CBCT-guided empirical embolization for acute LGIB patients with positive CTA but negative DSA. Results showed that empirical CBCT-guided embolization significantly reduced rebleeding rates in patients with negative DSA, improving clinical success.

Summary: This case series reports 3 cases of gastrointestinal perforation in the context of COVID-19 with different presentations. Two patients with critical COVID-19 pneumonia required intensive care, intubation, and mechanical ventilation. The third case had sigmoid diverticulitis with perforation and abscess collection. The cases had varying hospital courses but all were discharged in good clinical condition.

Summary: The purpose of this study was to investigate the impact of surgical volume on the mortality and morbidity of gastrointestinal perforation in pediatric patients in Japan. The results showed that there was no significant difference in 30-day mortality among institutions with low, medium, and high surgical volumes, with rates of 4.9%, 5.3%, and 5.1%, respectively. However, the 30-day morbidity rates differed significantly, with rates of 26.8%, 39.7%, and 37.7% in the three groups, respectively. The study concluded that surgical volume does not have a significant impact on the outcomes of pediatric gastrointestinal perforation in Japan.

Summary: Acute bowel diseases account for more than one third of cases referred to the emergency department for acute abdominal pain and gastrointestinal evaluation. Gastrointestinal ultrasound (GIUS) is commonly used as the initial imaging method, providing high diagnostic accuracy in acute abdomen cases, particularly in young females who have concerns about radiation exposure from X-ray and CT scans. GIUS allows physicians to examine the gastrointestinal system at the site of tenderness, obtaining more detailed information and data compared to standard physical examination. In this comprehensive review, we discuss the important indications and advantages of using ultrasound in the evaluation of abdominal acute pain.

Summary: The study aimed to determine a personalized and optimized contrast injection protocol for liver parenchymal enhancement. Results showed that the protocol based on 600 mgI/kg FFM achieved diagnostically optimized liver enhancement, improved patient-to-patient enhancement uniformity, and significantly reduced iodine load.

Summary: Abdominal organ segmentation has long been a comprehensive research field, with recent developments in deep learning introducing new state-of-the-art segmentation systems. However, the effects of DL model properties and parameters on performance are still difficult to interpret, and multi-tasking DL models often perform worse compared to organ-specific ones.

Summary: This passage discusses the similarities between the gastrointestinal and genitourinary tracts, which both consist of hollow structures that rely on muscle contractions to facilitate the flow of materials. It describes the anatomy, pathologies, and treatments of these organs, with a particular emphasis on tissue engineering strategies.

Summary: This study aimed to evaluate if reliable liver elastography results can be achieved with fewer acquisitions in pediatric liver disease examination. The results showed that there was no significant difference between 3 or 4 acquisitions and 10 acquisitions for all systems, and the accuracy requirements can be met.
