Acute cholecystitis in the elderly
The American Journal of Surgery, 1990After a controlled randomized trial, the management of patients with acute cholecystitis was changed from delayed to early cholecystectomy.

Most gall bladders surgically removed contain stones. The incidence of cholelithiasis in published cholecystectomy series ranges from 75% to 100%, with an average for the aggregate of 92.5%.1Only occasionally has stonefree cholecystitis been considered separately.* However, acute inflammation, and even gangrene, of the gall bladder can occur in the ...

Surgical Clinics of North America, 1981The combination of chemical irritants and cystic duct occlusion by either gallstones, mucus, or inflammation, appears to be responsible for the development of acute and chronic cholecystitis in most cases. Once the diagnosis of acute cholecystitis is established, early cholecystectomy is usually recommended.

Since 1844, when James Duncan,1 of the Royal Infirmary in Edinburgh, reported a case, the clinical application of the pathology of this disease has been a source of interest and concern to internists and surgeons.

Acute Cholecystitis and Thiazides
New England Journal of Medicine, 1981THE report by Rosenberg et al. of a positive association between thiazide use and acute cholecystitis1 prompted us to review the results of a closely similar, large-scale survey study carried out by the Boston Collaborative Drug Surveillance Program (BCDSP) in 1972.

Ultrasonography in acute cholecystitis
The British Journal of Radiology, 1981Forty cases of acute cholecystitis, surgically and pathologically confirmed, were investigated with ultrasound. Echographic diagnosis was possible in 34 patients (85%): special emphasis was laid on wall thickening (90% of cases, with a mean wall thickness of 8.08 mm), evidence of an echofree layer within the wall (67.5% of patients) and a lumen greater
