Background And Study Aims: Infections are a recognized risk of endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP). This paper reports on a large outbreak of VIM-2-producing Pseudomonas aeruginosa that was linked to the use of a recently introduced duodenoscope with a specific modified design (Olympus TJF-Q180V).
Methods: Epidemiological investigations and molecular typing were executed in order to identify the source of the outbreak.

Background: Trigeminal neuralgia (TN) is a rare severe unilateral facial pain condition. Current guidelines in trigeminal neuralgia management recommend sodium channel blockers--carbamazepine or oxcarbazepine--as the first-line treatment. However, the currently available drugs are often associated with poor tolerability resulting in sub-optimal pain control.

Objectives: In fibroscopic intubation, the fact of achieving a direct view in real time does not guarantee the correct advance of the endotracheal tube (ET) to its intratracheal position. The use of oral cannulas helps in achieving a free airway in order to pass the fibroscope and the ET. This study compares the VAMA(®) (V) and Berman(®) (B) cannulas as regards the time required for the intubation, fibroscopic view, and the ease in positioning the ET.

Objectives: To compare the effect on insertion and withdrawal forces using needles with a standard atraumatic bevel to those with a novel asymmetrical bevel in vitro.
Methods: Maximum needle penetration forces were measured using a 10N load cell mounted on an Instron universal testing machine. Forces were determined during insertion through a 0.
