Emergency Cholecystectomy in Patients Classified as High Risk According to the Tokyo Guidelines 2018: A Real‐World Analysis

Annals of Gastroenterological Surgery, EarlyView.
Emergency cholecystectomy was evaluated in patients with acute cholecystitis classified as non‐recommended for surgery by the Tokyo Guidelines 2018. Major postoperative complications, rather than mortality, better reflected operative risk. Physiological instability, particularly ASA‐PS ≥ 3 and shock status, identified high‐risk patients, suggesting ...

Cholecystocolic fistula: A diagnostic enigma

The Saudi Journal of Gastroenterology, 2009
Cholecystocolic fistula is a rare biliary-enteric fistula with a variable clinical presentation. Despite modern diagnostic tools, a high degree of suspicion is required to diagnose it preoperatively. Biliary-enteric fistulae have been found in 0.9%

Unveiling a New Link: Cholesterol Deficiency in Smith–Lemli–Opitz and Niemann–Pick C as a Driver of Ciliopathies

American Journal of Medical Genetics Part A, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The ciliopathies are a group of genetic disorders caused by defective function of either the primary cilia (a large number) or the motile cilia (a much smaller number). These have been defined as diseases with mutations in genes encoding individual ciliary or cilia‐associated proteins.

A contribution to the anatomy of two rare cetacean species: The hourglass dolphin (Cephalorhynchus cruciger) and the spectacled porpoise (Phocoena dioptrica)

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract The anatomical description of the hourglass dolphin (Cephalorhynchus cruciger) and the spectacled porpoise (Phocoena dioptrica) remains largely unexplored, due to limited specimen availability and preservation challenges. This study employed digital imaging techniques, conventional histology, and computed tomography to provide visualization of

Excessive Ostial Stent Protrusion: Evaluation of Management Strategies and Clinical Outcomes of the Side Flap Technique

Catheterization and Cardiovascular Interventions, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Backgrounds Accurate stent positioning in aorto‐ostial lesions remains challenging due to complex three‐dimensional anatomy, lack of optimal fluoroscopic projections, and high rates of geographic miss. Stent overhang impairs guide catheter re‐engagement and complicates future revascularization.

Biliary enteric fistulas.

International surgery, 1998
Thirty-one patients with biliary enteric fistula who were operated on over a 19-year period (1976-1994) with an incidence of 0.74% in all biliary tract operations were reviewed retrospectively to identify etiologic factors, types of fistulas, signs and symptoms, methods of diagnosis, management and prognosis of the cases.

Efficacy of Contrast‐Enhanced Endoscopic Ultrasound in the Diagnosis of Gallbladder Tumor: A Retrospective Multicenter Cohort Study

Journal of Hepato-Biliary-Pancreatic Sciences, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background and Aims Contrast‐enhanced endoscopic ultrasonography (CE‐EUS) provides clearer visualization of wall layer structures in gallbladder nodules than B‐mode EUS. This study aimed to compare the diagnostic performance of B‐mode EUS and CE‐EUS in differentiating benign from malignant gallbladder lesions.

Inflammatory Markers may Determine Postoperative Complications in Cases of Peritoneal Carcinomatosis of Ovarian Origin Treated With Cytoreductive Surgery and Hyperthermic Intraperitoneal Chemotherapy

Journal of Surgical Oncology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background and Objectives This study aimed to evaluate the ability of perioperative inflammatory markers to discriminate postoperative complications within 6 months in patients with ovarian cancer–related peritoneal metastasis undergoing cytoreductive surgery (CRS) and hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC).
