Abstract

Six hundred laparoscopic cholecystectomies have been performed in patients with cholelithiasis. Co-existing chronic diseases have been noted in 28% of the operated patients. All these diseases have been known to increase operative risk in classic (open) cholecystectomy (hypertension, coronary disease, cardiac arrhythmias, diabetes mellitus, bronchial asthma). Statistical analysis of the body temperature following laparoscopic cholecystectomy, morbidity and duration of the postoperative hospitalization has revealed that there has been no significant increase in operative risk for laparoscopic cholecystectomy in these patients.

Cardiovascular Disease Pathophysiology

Cardiovascular disease involves several different processes that contribute to the pathological mechanism, including hyperglycemia, inflammation, atherosclerosis, hypertension and more. Vasculature stability plays a critical role in the development of the disease. Discover the latest research on cardiovascular disease pathophysiology here.

Atrial Fibrillation

Atrial fibrillation is a common arrhythmia that is associated with substantial morbidity and mortality, particularly due to stroke and thromboembolism. Here is the latest research.

Asthma

This feed focuses in Asthma in which your airways narrow and swell. This can make breathing difficult and trigger coughing, wheezing and shortness of breath.

Allergy and Asthma

Allergy and asthma are inflammatory disorders that are triggered by the activation of an allergen-specific regulatory t cell. These t cells become activated when allergens are recognized by allergen-presenting cells. Here is the latest research on allergy and asthma.

Arrhythmia

Arrhythmias are abnormalities in heart rhythms, which can be either too fast or too slow. They can result from abnormalities of the initiation of an impulse or impulse conduction or a combination of both. Here is the latest research on arrhythmias.
