    Abstract : Introduction: The pattern of symptoms and perception of disease among patients seeking care does, due to health care seeking behaviour, most probably not reflect the true health status in the general population. Upper esophagogastroduodenoscopy (EGD) is considered to be gold standard for upper gastrointestinal (GI) disease assessment, but is seldom used in epidemiological studies. READ MORE

  7. 5. The papilla of Vater : issues relevant to transpapillary cannulation and clinical management

    Author : Erik Haraldsson; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Background: Many endoscopists have since the beginning of endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) commented on the variation in the macroscopic appearance of the papilla of Vater. How the macroscopic appearance of the papilla influences the cannulation efforts during ERCP has been discussed but not previously investigated in-depth. READ MORE
