How to Interpret a Functional or Motility Test - Sphincter of Oddi Manometry [PDF]
To date, endoscopic manometry is the best method for evaluating the function of the sphincter. Sphincter of Oddi manometry (SOM) remains the gold standard to correctly diagnose the sphincter of Oddi dysfunction (SOD) and stratify therapy. Several dynamic

Sphincter of Oddi laxity alters bile duct microbiota and contributes to the recurrence of choledocholithiasis. [PDF]
Background Choledocholithiasis is closely associated with bacterial infection and inflammation in the bile duct. Our previous studies showed that sphincter of Oddi laxity (SOL) significantly altered the bile microbiota and might contribute to the ...

Unilateral drainage and chemotherapy prolong the patency of a plastic stent placed above the sphincter of Oddi in patients with malignant hilar biliary obstruction. [PDF]
Abstract Objectives To evaluate the results of inside stent therapy for unresectable malignant hilar biliary obstruction and identify factors related to stent patency duration. Methods Of 44 patients who underwent initial inside‐stent placement above the sphincter of Oddi from April 2017 to December 2022, 42 with the resolution of jaundice (clinical ...

Sphincter of Oddi Function and Risk Factors for Dysfunction. [PDF]
The sphincter of Oddi (SO) is a smooth muscle valve regulating the flow of biliary and pancreatic secretions into the duodenum, initially described in 1887 by the Italian anatomist, Ruggero Oddi. SO dysfunction (SOD) is a broad term referring to numerous

Programmable multi-photon quantum interference in a single spatial mode [PDF]
The interference of non-classical states of light enables quantum-enhanced applications reaching from metrology to computation. Most commonly, the polarisation or spatial location of single photons are used as addressable degrees-of-freedom for turning these applications into praxis. However, the scale-up for the processing of a large number of photons
