- Which group of conditions is specifically linked to Clonorchis sinensis infection in the supplied review?
- A patient with Clonorchis sinensis infection has an elevated IgG4 concentration. Which interpretation best matches the supplied review?
- A systematic review of clinical HIFU use for malignant liver lesions reported complete tumour ablation in what proportion of patients across all included studies?

- Which complication was most frequently reported in the HIFU systematic review of malignant hepatobiliary lesions?
- The HIFU review reported substantial variation in technical parameters and procedural structure across studies. Which conclusion is best supported?
- A meta-analysis reported EBV infection in 23% of hepatobiliary cancer cases, with an I² of 95.7%. Which interpretation is most appropriate?
- Five case-control studies in a meta-analysis of EBV and hepatobiliary system cancer yielded a pooled odds ratio of 9.35. What is the most defensible conclusion from this result?
