Biliary tract physiology

Current Opinion in Gastroenterology, 1999
Cholangiocytes, the cells lining the bile ducts, are now recognized as important contributors to and modulators of bile formation. During the last few years, remarkable insights have been made into the mechanisms of fluid, electrolyte, and solute transport by biliary epithelia, as well as increasing knowledge of the complex endocrine, paracrine, and ...

Biliary tract dysmotility

Current Treatment Options in Gastroenterology, 1998
Biliary pain resulting from motility disorders is common and may be overlooked due to the difficulty of diagnosing the presence of these disorders. A sound, logical approach to the evaluation and treatment of these specific groups of disorders is essential.

Imaging of the biliary tract

Current Opinion in Gastroenterology, 2023
Purpose of review Magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography (MRCP) has become the reference examination for the exploration of the biliary tract and has replaced endoscopic cholangiography for the analysis of the biliary tract because of its equivalent performance and its noninvasive character.

Infections of the Biliary Tract

Gastrointestinal Endoscopy Clinics of North America, 2013
Infection of the biliary tract, or cholangitis, is a potentially life-threatening condition. Bile duct stones are the most common cause of biliary obstruction predisposing to cholangitis. The key components in the pathogenesis of cholangitis are biliary obstruction and biliary infection.

Biliary Tract Disease

Postgraduate Medicine, 1964
Biliary tract disease associated with calculi (gallstones) causes much disability and shortening or curtailment of life. At present there is insufficient knowledge to prevent the occurrence or development of gallstones. With the accomplishments of recent decades in preventing such diseases as typhoid fever, tetanus and poliomyelitis, and the control of

Biliary tract cancer

Current Opinion in Gastroenterology, 1999
Recent advances in the molecular and cellular biology, diagnosis, and treatment of biliary tract cancer are reviewed. Several studies have delineated the molecular and cellular biology of cholangiocarcinoma and gallbladder carcinoma. Hepatocyte growth factor seems to be mitogenic to gallbladder carcinoma, and its inhibition may have a therapeutic role ...

Biliary tract malformations

American Journal of Medical Genetics Part A, 2003
AbstractThe biliary tree extends from the canals of Hering at the margin of the most peripheral portal tracts to the ampulla of Vater. Malformations occur at every level of this structure. Phenotypic features dominate present understanding of these malformations and of the disorders with which they are associated. Classifications of disease will likely

Diogenes in the Biliary Tract

Archives of Surgery, 1994
The Greekphilosopher Diogenes (412 to 323 BC) founded the Cynic school of philosophy. Among his many ascetic practices, the one most popularly associated with him is the image of his endless search, lantern held aloft, for a man of truth. Why should this conjure up the image of a miniature counterpart of Diogenes, roaming the biliary tract, searching ...

Biliary tract cancer

Current Opinion in Gastroenterology, 2001
Advances in cellular and molecular biology of extrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma and gallbladder adenocarcinoma are providing innovative means for the diagnosis and treatment of biliary tract cancer. Similarly, refinements in noninvasive studies--including helical computed tomography, magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography, and endoscopic ...
