Homeopathy is based on heterodox and complementary four scientific assumptions.

Pseudosceptics deny these assumptions and any scientific evidence that proves them.

The dossier describes hundreds of clinical and experimental studies in homeopathy.

The dossier demystifies the fallacy that “there isn't scientific evidence for homeopathy”.

There is no consensus about which method is preferred for biliary drainage for Perihilar Cholangiocarcinoma (PCCA).

Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (EBD) or Percutaneous Transhepatic Biliary Drainage (PTBD) are options of choice.

PTBD is superior to EBD regarding crossover rate, overall post-drainage complications, and post-drainage pancreatitis.

EBD is superior to PTBD when it comes to hospital length of stay.

For the palliation of PCCA, PTBD is superior to EBD in terms of clinical success and post-drainage cholangitis.

Liver abscess patients with diabetes mellitus have featured changes after therapy.

Liver abscess patients with diabetes mellitus cannot have a better therapeutic effect.

This meta-analysis shows that gefitinib plus chemotherapy showed significantly better efficacy in improving objective response rate, disease control rate, progression-free survival, and OS as compared with gefitinib alone.

Similar efficacy of gefitinib plus chemotherapy is found in the sub-population with positive EGFR mutation.

The toxicity of gefitinib plus chemotherapy is also increased but within clinical management.

cIMT is associated with diabetes.

Subclinical hypothyroidism was not associated with cIMT.

No additive effect over cIMT was detected in patients with both diseases.

Malignant hilar biliary stricture had a high technical success rate but suboptimal clinical success rate.

At multivariable logistic-regression analyses, Bismuth IV strictures were related to higher clinical failure rates when compared to other strictures levels.

There was a trend towards higher failure rates with increased levels of pre-drainage bilirubin level, although not statistically significant.
