Cost-Effectiveness Analysis of Endoscopic Ultrasound versus Magnetic Resonance Cholangiopancreatography in Patients with Suspected Common Bile Duct Stones. [PDF]
Patients with suspected common bile duct (CBD) stones are often diagnosed using endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP), an invasive procedure with risk of significant complications.

Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography
Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) is a contrast study of the bile ducts and the ductal system of the pancreas (P), achieved by cannulating them with a flexible endoscope and visualizing them with fluoroscopy. The technique also includes a visual assessment of the major duodenal papilla (MDP).

Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography
Abstract Direct non-operative injection of radio-opaque material through a cannula introduced at the duodenal papilla by means of a fibre-optic duodenoscope achieved opacification of the bile ducts, the pancreatic duct or the entire biliary pancreatic ductal system in 392 (89 per cent) of 439 patients in whom it was attempted.

The relative efficiencies of bars and clumps in driving disc stars to retrograde motion [PDF]
The presence of stars on retrograde orbits in disc galaxies is usually attributed to accretion events, both via direct accretion, as well as through the heating of the disc stars. Recent studies have shown that retrograde orbits can also be produced via scattering by dense clumps, which are often present in the early stages of a galaxy's evolution ...

Endoscopic biliary therapy in the era of bariatric surgery [PDF]
There is an increasing demand and availability of bariatric surgery, with a range of procedures performed, some leading to altered upper gastrointestinal anatomy. The patient population undergoing bariatric surgery is also at increased risk of gallstones
