The DWPG approach was compared to non-discretized (continuous) and other popular discretized approaches (Minimum Description Length Principle, MDLP and Entropy-based Discretization Osimertinib concentration According to Distribution of Boundary

Points, EDA-DB) in error rate, discretization time and classification time during the training process. Results: Of 500 ROIs, 250 were normal and 250 were atrophic gastritis. There were 60 extracted features including 24 textured-features and 36 colored-features. The error rate (mean ± standard deviation) for continuous, MDLP, EDA-DB and DWPG was 28.0 ± 1.8, 35.3 ± 1.2, 29.6 ± 1.9 and 27.3 ± 2.5 respectively. Discretization time for MDLP, EDA-DB and DWPG was 13.8 s, 16.7 s and 11.3 s respectively. The classification time for continuous, MDLP, EDA-DB and DWPG was 0.4 s, 0.3 s, 0.3 s and 0.3 s respectively. Conclusion: Compared to other discretization approaches, DWPG has Pifithrin-�� datasheet less error rate, less discretization time and comparable classification time. Improved classification, in future, may allow reliable and rapid endoscopic identification

of atrophic gastritis.

Causes of PEP are not completely established but there are several risk factors. The aim of this study was to investigate correlation between Selleckchem U0126 various diagnoses and occurrence of PEP. Methods: All patients with indication for ERCP at our tertiary care center

from January to December 2012 were included. All patients received diclophenac sodium suppositories immediately before procedure. We used Spearman correlation coefficient in order to detect possible significant correlation. Results: We included total number of 169 patients, 94 males (55%) and 75 females (45%), mean age was 70.58 ± 13.77 years. We observed PEP in 24 out of 169 patients (14%), 13 males (54.2%) and 11 females (45.8%). Mean duration of procedure was 45 ± 26.00 min. Among others, the most common reasons for ERCP were choledocholithiasis (57.6%) and pancreatic carcinoma (12.9%). We found significant correlation of PEP only with extrahepatic ducts neoplasms, r = 0.185, p < 0.05. There were no correlation among PEP and pancreatic carcinoma, choledocholithiasis, acute or chronic pancreatitis. Conclusion: Extrahepatic ducts malignancies are correlated with higher incidence of PEP possibly due to difficult cannulation and prolonged procedure. Key Word(s): 1. Biliary neoplasms; 2. ERCP; 3.
