Abstract. The goal of the present investigation was to expand the literature on impulsivity and Cluster B personality disorders (PDs) by conceptualizing impulsivity in a multidimensional manner. Two separate undergraduate samples (n = 223; n = 204) completed measures of impulsivity and Cluster B dimensions. Impulsivity was indeed predictive of Cluster B dimensions and, importantly, each PD scale exhibited a unique impulsivity profile. Findings for borderline PD scores were highly consistent across samples and strongly and positively associated with urgency and lack of perseverance, as expected. Findings for the other PD dimensions also exhibited a fair amount of consistency. Implications of these findings for diagnostic classification and treatment are discussed.

Classification And Treatment

Secondary intra- and extrahepatic bile duct dilatation is a very common condition that can be caused by several diseases. However, it has been rarely discussed in the specialized literature. Moreover, no distinct etiology can be determined in some cases, which hampers the diagnosis and treatment. Here, we discuss the etiological classification and treatment strategies of secondary intra- and extrahepatic bile duct dilatation based on an extensive literature review, as well as our experimental research and clinical experience. The etiology of secondary intra- and extrahepatic bile duct dilatation can be classified in different ways. From a clinicopathological perspective, it can be classified into obstruction-, lesion-, and compression-induced dilatation. Treatment varies depending on the cause. For example, endoscopic dilation or stenting is used for biliary strictures, laparoscopic choledochectomy for stone removal, and resection for cholangiocarcinoma.

AbstractA plate-like structure is located posterior to the portal vein system, between the pancreatic head and roots and/or branches of two major arteries of the aorta: the celiac trunk and superior mesenteric artery. We aimed to clarify the distribution and components of this plate-like structure. Macroscopic examination of the upper abdomen and histological examination of the plate-like structure were performed on 26 cadavers. The plate-like structure is connected to major arteries (aorta, celiac trunk, superior mesenteric artery) and the pancreatic head; it contains abundant fibrous bundles comprising nerves, vessels, collagen fibers, and adipose tissue. Furthermore, it consists of three partly overlapping fibrous components: rich fibrous bundles (superior mesenteric artery plexus) fused to the uncinate process of the pancreas; fibrous bundles arising from the right celiac ganglion and celiac trunk that spread radially to the dorsal side of the pancreatic head and superior mesenteric artery plexus; and fibrous bundles, accompanied by the inferior pancreaticoduodenal artery, entering the pancreatic head. The plate-like structure is the pancreas–major arteries (aorta, celiac trunk, superior mesenteric artery) ligament (P–A ligament). The term “P–A ligament” may be clinically useful and can facilitate comprehensive understanding of the anatomy surrounding the pancreatic head and provide an anatomical basis for further pancreatic surgery studies.

Abstract Background Celiac trunk metastases are an independent factor for inferior survival in patients with esophageal cancer. Detecting these metastases before esophagostomy would aid clinical decision making. The aim of our study was to evaluate the accuracy of integrated PET and CT (PET-CT) using 18F-FDG in detecting these metastases in patients with esophageal cancer after neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy (nCRTx) followed by esophagectomy. Methods All patients with a carcinoma of the mid-to-distal esophagus or the gastroesophageal junction (GEJ) who underwent esophageal resection with curative intent following nCRTx between January 2011 and January 2017 were included. The PET-CT scans after nCRTx were reviewed by nuclear radiologists and lymph nodes within a margin of 2 cm around the celiac trunk were expressed in SUVmax. Lymph nodes with SUVmax > 2.0 were deemed positive. The truncal nodes were extracted during esophagectomy and reviewed by different pathologists using standard pathology protocol. To assess the accuracy of the PET-CT in detecting lymph node metastases near the celiac trunk the sensitivity, specificity and positive and negative predictive value were calculated. Results A total of 448 patients were included. There were 24 patients (5.4%) with positive truncal nodes on the PET-CT versus 424 patients (90.6%) with negative truncal nodes on the PET-CT. Out of these 24 patients 20 (83.3%) had truncal node metastases confirmed in the resection specimen (positive predictive value of 83.3%). In the other 424 patients 40 (9.4%) had truncal node metastases confirmed in the resection specimen (negative predictive value of 90.6%). This results in a sensitivity of 33.3% and a specificity of 99.0%. Conclusion The sensitivity and specificity of the PET-CT in detecting lymph node metastases near the celiac trunk in patients with esophageal cancer who underwent nCRTx were respectively 33.3% and 99.0% This shows that the PET-CT is accurate in detecting truncal lymph node metastases in this patient group.
