Non-canonical Wnt signalling regulates scarring in biliary disease via the planar cell polarity receptors [PDF]
The number of patients diagnosed with chronic bile duct disease is increasing and in most cases these diseases result in chronic ductular scarring, necessitating liver transplantation.

Gallbladder and bile duct disease in Cystic Fibrosis [PDF]
Cystic fibrosis (CF) is a multi-organ, clinically diverse disorder caused by mutations in the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance receptor (CFTR). Awareness of extra-pulmonary manifestations, including gastrointestinal and hepatobiliary disturbances, is an increasingly important part of providing high-quality care to patients with CF. Furthermore,

Cholestasis progression effects on long-term memory in bile duct ligation rats
Background : There is evidence that cognitive functions are affected by some liver diseases such as cholestasis. Bile duct ligation induces cholestasis as a result of impaired liver function and cognition.

Peristaltic flow of a fluid in a porous channel: A study having relevance to flow of bile within ducts in a pathological state [PDF]
The paper deals with a theoretical study of the transport of a fluid in a channel, which takes place by the phenomenon of peristalsis. A mathematical analysis of the said problem has been presented. The analysis involves the application of a suitable perturbation technique. The velocity profile and the critical pressure for the occurrence of reflux are

Intraoperative time out to promote the implementation of the critical view of safety in laparoscopic cholecystectomy: a video-based assessment of 343 procedures [PDF]
Background: The critical view of safety (CVS) is poorly adopted in surgical practices although it is ubiquitously recommended to prevent major bile duct injuries during laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC). This study aims to determine whether performing a short intraoperative time out can improve CVS implementation. Methods: Surgeons performing LCs at an
