In this Korean sample, patients with BDI showed a significantly greater preference for 'eveningness' (including delayed sleep timing) than control individuals. The influences of pharmacotherapy or clinical status on CSM scores need to be clarified.

clinicaltrials.gov Identifier: NCT01550406.

About 50 % of patients without preoperative DM developed impaired glucose tolerance or overt DM following distal pancreatectomy. Female sex, higher BMI, and resection of pancreatic volume >25 % were risk factors for endocrine function impairment, indicating the need for preoperative evaluation and careful perioperative glucose monitoring in these patients.

This study showed that the TachoSil® patch did not reduce the incidence of POPF after distal pancreatectomy.

Actual 5-year OS rate after R0 resection of hilar cholangiocarcinoma is 30.1 %. Adjuvant treatment could be beneficial in patients with lymph node metastasis.
