ABSTRACT Objective Covered self‐expandable metal stents (SEMS) are widely used for treating distal malignant biliary obstruction (MBO). Severe SEMS angulation can cause stent dysfunction. Placement of a long double‐pigtail plastic stent inside the SEMS (the “long‐anchoring stent method”) may straighten the angulated SEMS, thereby achieving effective ...

ABSTRACT Objectives The clinical performance of double half‐pigtail plastic stents (DHPs) for malignant distal biliary obstruction (MDBO) remains unclear. We compared DHPs with straight plastic stents (STs) regarding the timing, incidence, and causes of recurrent biliary obstruction (RBO). Methods This single‐center retrospective cohort study evaluated

ABSTRACT During peroral cholangioscopy‐guided electrohydraulic lithotripsy (EHL), stone fragmentation obscures the visual field (the “snowstorm effect”), and visualization quality has been assessed only subjectively. This proof‐of‐concept study explored the feasibility of a deep‐learning method for objectively quantifying visualization quality during ...

Abstract The search for evidence in public management and the implementation of good management by public bodies is becoming increasingly important, and the principles of effectiveness and efficiency should be reinforced. Therefore, this paper aims to analyse the change in efficiency in the provision of public lighting services by local governments ...

Electrolysis‐treated biosolids enhance wheat growth and alter soil health parameters
Abstract Biosolid‐based fertilizers can benefit agriculture by supporting circular nutrient economies, reducing fertilizer costs, and minimizing environmental impacts compared to inorganic fertilizers. A 125‐day greenhouse experiment was conducted to assess the effects of electrolysis‐treated biosolids on wheat (Triticum aestivum) growth and soil ...
