Retrospective review of the first 210 patients treated by laparoscopic cholecystectomy revealed 55 patients (26%) with acute cholecystitis diagnosed preoperatively or intraoperatively. Average age was 52 years amongst 38 women and 17 men. Cardiac history was present in 4%, pulmonary disease was
Gallbladder motility is impaired in chronic cholelithiasis but has not been studied in acute acalculous cholecystitis. The aim of this study was to determine the effects of acute acalculous inflammation on gallbladder contractility using the common bile duct ligation (CBDL) model in guinea pigs.
A decrease in sodium, potassium and anion (HCO3)-activated erythrocyte ATPases is noted in patients with acute viral hepatitides A and B, chronic persisting hepatitis, liver cirrhosis, chronic cholecystitis and in HBs-antigen carriers, the reduction of HCO8-ATPase being more noticeable. A degree of
We report diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance imagings (DWI) at the acute stage of two patients with spectacular shrinking deficit (SSD) due to cardioembolic stroke. Patient 1 was a 74-year-old woman with atrial fibrillation (Af) who had been admitted for acute cholecystitis. She abruptly
Gallstone disease is a major health problem in many parts of the world. In Nigeria, however, only a few cases of gallstone disease are reported. Minor/trace elements are reported to play a significant role in the formation of gallstones. This study was conducted to assess the minor elements in
BACKGROUND
Functional gastrointestinal symptoms are frequently found in elderly dementia patients. In such a case, we attempt treatment by the administration of antidepressants or second-generation antipsychotics. However, these medications have a risk of side-effects. In the present study, we
In a retrospective analysis, 79 allogeneic bone marrow recipients treated with AmBisome prophylactically or because of proven or suspected invasive fungal infection (IFI) were evaluated in 92 episodes. The median duration of treatment was 14 (range 1-112) days. The mean maximum dose given was 1.64
OBJECTIVE
To examine the mechanisms of action of ursodeoxycholic acid (UDCA) on gallbladder (GB) muscle cells in patients with symptomatic cholesterol gallstones (GSs) as it reduces the incidence of acute cholecystitis.
METHODS
A double-blind study was performed on 15 patients, 7 randomised to UDCA
BACKGROUND
Common bile duct ligation (CBDL) produces gallbladder distension and acute inflammation similar to that seen in human acute acalculous cholecystitis. CBDL in the guinea pig affects smooth muscle contractility. The aim of this study was to determine whether the nitric oxide-L-arginine
OBJECTIVE
To determine the crystalline structure and chemical composition of gallstones in children and adolescents. Design of the studyA simple descriptive study was performed in 21 gallstones from pediatric patients with chronic cholecystitis who underwent elective cholecystectomy. Only two
BACKGROUND
Karapxa decoction (KD) is a Traditional Uighur Medicine used for hepatitis, cholecystitis, gastralgia, oedema, gout and arthralgia. Because of its purported effect in gout, its effects were tested in hyperuricemic mice models induced by yeast extract paste or potassium oxonate, as well as
The safety of AmBisome was evaluated in 187 transplant recipients treated for 197 episodes. Patients included 89 bone marrow transplant recipients, 64 liver transplant recipients, 20 renal transplant recipients and 14 recipients of combined organs. AmBisome was instituted for verified invasive
