Background And Aims: ERCP inherently involves radiation exposure. Nonradiation ERCP has been described in pregnancy. Theoretically, the same techniques could be applied to the general population.

Objective: Proof-of-concept evaluation of the suck-ligate-unroof-biopsy (SLUB) technique for small (<2 cm), non-pedunculated SETs.
Design: Pilot feasibility study.
"Underwater" EMR of sporadic laterally spreading nonampullary duodenal adenomas (with video).

Background: EMR for the treatment of duodenal adenomas is challenging due to a thin wall and rich vascularity.
Objective: To evaluate a novel technique of "underwater" EMR without prior submucosal injection for the removal of large (≥2 cm) laterally spreading nonampullary duodenal adenomas.
Design: Prospective, observational study.
Background: We report a novel technique of retract-ligate-unroof-biopsy (RLUB) for the diagnosis and treatment of large nonpedunculated upper GI stromal tumors originating from the muscularis propria.
Objective: Proof-of-concept evaluation of the RLUB technique.
Design: Pilot and feasibility study.
Background & Aims: Tenofovir is a nucleotide reverse-transcriptase inhibitor approved for treatment of human immunodeficiency virus infection, as well as chronic hepatitis B (CHB). We evaluated nephrotoxicity among patients with CHB treated with tenofovir.
Methods: We performed a community-based, retrospective cohort study of 80 patients with CHB who received tenofovir, alone or in a combination regimen; they were matched for age and sex with 80 CHB patients who received only entecavir.
