Abstract

This study prospectively assessed the efficacy and applicability of Endo-GIA for difficult and dilated cystic duct (CD) closure in 24 patients undergoing laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC) due to CD stone. From January 1998 to December 2002, 3325 patients underwent LC for gallbladder lesions at the department of general surgery at Chang Gung Memorial Hospital (Taipei, Taiwan), and 24 (0.72%) were identified as having dilated and difficult CD, which were ligated by Endo-GIA. This study prospectively followed these 24 patients and evaluated the management outcomes. The indications for LC in the 24 patients were symptomatic gallstones with or without common bile duct (CBD) stones (11 patients), Mirizzi syndrome type I (two patients), acute cholecystitis (five patients), acute cholecystitis with acute cholangitis (two patients), acute cholangitis (one patient), biliary pancreatitis (two patients), and gallbladder polyp (one patient). No patients required conversion to open surgery. The CD were successfully ligated with Endo-GIA in all 24 patients with dilated and difficult CD during LC. The postoperative course was uneventful except in two patients. One patient suffered bile duct injury (Stewart-Way class II), and was managed succes...Continue Reading

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.

Microbicide

Microbicides are products that can be applied to vaginal or rectal mucosal surfaces with the goal of preventing, or at least significantly reducing, the transmission of sexually transmitted infections. Here is the latest research on microbicides.
