Background: Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) has been one of the most intensely studied endoscopic procedures due to its overall high complication rates when compared to other digestive endoscopy procedures. The safety and outcome of such procedures have been linked to multiple procedure- or patient-related risk factors. The aim of our study is to evaluate whether the morphology of the major duodenal papilla influences the ERCP outcomes and complication rates.
Methods: A total of 322 patients with a native papilla have been included in the study over an eight month period. Morphology of the papilla has been classified into normal papilla and four anatomical variations (Type I-IV). All patients have been prospectively monitored over a 15 day period after ERCP. Procedural outcomes and complication rates have been registered.
Results: Morphology of the papilla influences both overall complication rates (95%CI, = 0.0066) and post-ERCP pancreatitis rates (95%CI, = 0.01001) in univariate analysis. Type IV papillae have proven to be independent risk factors for post-ERCP pancreatitis in multivariate analysis (OR = 12.176, 95%CI, = 0.005). Type I papillae have been significantly linked to difficult cannulation (AUC = 0.591, 95%CI, = 0.008); Conclusions: In the monitored cohort morphology of the major duodenal papilla has significantly influenced both ERCP outcomes and post-procedural complication rates.

Background: Noncompressible truncal hemorrhage is a major contributor to preventable deaths in trauma patients and, despite advances in emergency care, still poses a big challenge.
Objectives: This study aimed to assess the clinical efficacy of trauma resuscitation care incorporating Resuscitative Endovascular Balloon Occlusion of the Aorta (REBOA) compared to standard care for managing uncontrolled torso or lower body hemorrhage.
Methods: This study utilized a target trial design with a matched case-control methodology, emulating randomized 1 : 1 allocation for patients receiving trauma resuscitation care with or without the use of REBOA.
Chronic fracture-related infection is a complex, costly clinical problem with a wide spectrum of clinical presentations. The goals of treatment are infection control with a healed fracture covered by well-vascularized soft tissue and improvement of patient pain and function. Management is both medical, with culture-targeted antimicrobial agents, and surgical, requiring meticulous irrigation and débridement.

Determination of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) in pneumococcal isolates is important for surveillance purposes and in a clinical context. Antimicrobial susceptibility testing (AST) of pneumococci is complicated by the need for exact minimal inhibitory concentrations (MICs) of beta-lactam antibiotics. Two next-generation sequencing (NGS) analysis tools have implemented the prediction of AMR in their analysis workflow, including the prediction of MICs: Pathogenwatch (https://pathogen.
