Nitrate-reducing bacteria in diversion colitis: a clue to inflammation?

abstract：:Manometry is considered the gold standard for evaluating sphincter of Oddi dysfunction. It has recently been demonstrated that the ultrasound (US) secretin test proposed a few years ago as a noninvasive test for the study of sphincter of Oddi dysfunction yields a substantial percentage of pathological findings in pati...
