TL;DR: The Wilson disease gene ATP7B encodes a P‐type ATPase, an inherited autosomal recessive disorder of hepatic copper metabolism leading to copper accumulation in hepatocytes and in extrahepatic organs such as the brain and the cornea.

TL;DR: The photodynamic therapy (PDT) had a promising effect on nonresectable cholangiocarcinoma (NCC) in patients with NCC as mentioned in this paper.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors reexamined a cohort of 1,018 women (median age 24, range 16-38 years at infection) on follow-up for 20 years in 9 representative centers and concluded that formerly healthy young women, without hepatic comorbidity, may clear hepatitis C infection in half of the cases or develop mild chronic hepatitis C with low risk of progression to cirrhosis within 20 years.

TL;DR: Palliative PDT and subsequent stenting resulted in longer survival than stenting alone and has a similar survival time compared with incomplete R1 and R2 resection, but these improvements in palliative treatment by PDT will not change the concept of an aggressive resectional approach.

TL;DR: PET is highly sensitive and specific for the detection and localization of CC and can be helpful for diagnosis of distant metastases but is not suitable for detection of regional lymph node metastases.
