Magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography: the ABC of MRCP [PDF]

, 2011
Magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography (MRCP) is a technique that has evolved over the past two decades. It continues to have a fundamental role in the non-invasive investigation of many pancreatico-biliary disorders.

Inter‐Crystal Spacing of Implantable Polymeric Surfaces as a Key Suppressor of Microbial Adhesion.

Small, EarlyView.
Biofilm formation on implantable devices is addressed by controlling inter‐crystal spacing in shape memory polymers. Repeated shape recovery aligns and enlarges crystalline phases and reduces amorphous regions, enhancing bacterial repellency. Three biofilm‐forming bacteria show reduced adhesion, and a one‐year dog bile‐duct model maintains function ...

Different Knots, Same Outcome: Evaluating the Role of Surgical Technique on Biliary Anastomotic Strictures After Liver Transplantation

World Journal of Surgery, EarlyView.
Biliary anastomotic strictures (BAS) after liver transplant (LT) are a significant contributor to post‐transplant morbidity. Although surgical technique has been proposed as a risk factor, accurate evaluation of technique has been limited by inherent bias in conventional definitions for BAS.

Relationship Between Fecal Bile Acid Profile and Intestinal Microbiota in Patients With Chronic Radiation Enteritis

Journal of Digestive Diseases, EarlyView.
Patients with chronic radiation enteritis (CRE) demonstrate dysregulated bile acid (BA) metabolism, characterized by an increased proportion of primary BAs and a decreased proportion of secondary BAs. Moreover, the diversity of the intestinal microbiota is significantly reduced in individuals with CRE, and there is a bidirectional interaction between ...

Interventional radiology-operated endoscopy-assisted retrograde transnasal placement of a retrievable transhepatic covered biliary stent

Radiology Case Reports, 2018
Biliary stent placement is an adjunct for complex biliary intervention. Patients with benign biliary strictures or aversion to external drainage may benefit from placement of retrievable biliary stents.

Slow Transit Constipation: Pathophysiological Perspectives and Management Updates

Journal of Digestive Diseases, EarlyView.
Slow transit constipation (STC) is a complex neuromuscular disorder driven by interstitial cells of Cajal (ICCs) loss and enteric neuropathy. Diagnosis relies on objective transit testing while excluding pelvic floor dysfunction. Management follows a stepwise, phenotype‐driven approach, progressing from conventional laxatives to emerging targeted ...
