We provide another proof of the Sipser{Lautemann Theorem by which BPP MA (PH). The current proof is based on strong results regarding the ampliication of BPP, due to Zuck-erman. Given these results, the current proof is even simpler than previous ones. Furthermore, extending the proof leads to two results regarding MA: MA ZPP NP (which seems to be new), and that two-sided error MA equals MA. Fi...
متن کاملPercutaneous transhepatic cholangioscopy for indeterminate biliary strictures using the SpyGlass system: a case series.
Peroral cholangioscopy is useful in differentiating benign from malignant biliary strictures. However, when conventional biliary access via endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) fails, percutaneous transhepatic cholangioscopy (PTCS) via the SpyGlass cholangioscopy system can be used to achieve a diagnosis. Four patients with biliary strictures in whom conventional ERCP was not p...
متن کاملGenetic Abnormalities in Biliary Brush Samples for Distinguishing Cholangiocarcinoma from Benign Strictures in Primary Sclerosing Cholangitis
Background. Primary sclerosing cholangitis (PSC) is a chronic inflammatory liver disease and is strongly associated with cholangiocarcinoma (CCA). The lack of efficient diagnostic methods for CCA is a major problem. Testing for genetic abnormalities may increase the diagnostic value of cytology. Methods. We assessed genetic abnormalities for CDKN2A, TP53, ERBB2, 20q, MYC, and chromosomes 7 and ...
متن کاملBiliary stent therapy for dominant strictures in patients affected by primary sclerosing cholangitis.
The diagnosis and the treatment of dominant strictures (DS) in patients with primary sclerosing cholangitis (PSC) is challenging and the scientific literature on the subject is quite limited. Only level II and level III evidence is available to guide physicians managing patients with DS and PSC. For the diagnosis, intraductal endoscopic ultrasound is the most sensitive (64%) and specific (95%) ...
متن کاملThe efficacy of peroral cholangioscopy for difficult bile duct stones and indeterminate strictures: a systematic review and meta-analysis
BACKGROUND AND STUDY AIMS Current evidence supporting the efficacy of peroral cholangioscopy (POC) in the evaluation and management of difficult bile duct stones and indeterminate strictures is limited. The aims of this systematic review and meta-analysis were to assess the following: the efficacy of POC for the therapy of difficult bile duct stones, the diagnostic accuracy of POC for the evalu...
