Woven polydioxanone biodegradable stents: a new treatment option for benign and malignant oesophageal stricturesEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
We present our initial experience with a new biodegradable (BD) esophageal stent in two patients, one for a therapy-resistant benign esophageal stricture, and the other as a temporary measure during curative radiotherapy for oesophageal carcinoma.

[Ambulance signage] is a hot button topic at the moment here in the U.K. The government is introducing foundation trust status to our services, under which services can accept funding from other sources, including corporate advertising on the side of ambulances. At the moment, our ambulances display issues related to EMS, such as violence against ambulance staff. These I am happy to display, but the thought of six-foot billboard on an ambulance sponsored by Pepsi is a difficult one. I feel the question to be answered is, does it lower our professional image?
