Hepatobiliary scintigraphy with SPET in the diagnosis of bronchobiliary fistula due to a hydatid cyst [PDF]

, 2015
In this report, we present the application of hepatobiliary scintigraphy using Tc-99m mebrofenin in the diagnosis of bronchobiliary fistula caused by a liver hydatid cyst, which penetrated the diaphragm. Hepatobiliary scintigraphy noticeably depicted the

Diagnostic dilemma of cystic biliary atresia: A series of two cases and brief review of the diagnostic modalities

JPGN Reports, EarlyView.
Abstract Cystic biliary atresia (CBA) is a rare variant of biliary atresia that closely resembles choledochal cyst (CC), complicating diagnosis and potentially delaying critical surgical intervention. We report two cases of CBA that were difficult to diagnose.

Successful endoscopic management of a pediatric intrapancreatic common bile duct stricture following blunt pancreatic trauma: A case report

JPGN Reports, EarlyView.
Abstract Pancreatic and biliary tract injuries from blunt abdominal trauma are rare in children. Common bile duct (CBD) strictures secondary to pancreatic trauma are even more uncommon, and management traditionally involves surgery. We report a 9‐year‐old boy who developed a severe distal intrapancreatic CBD stricture after blunt pancreatic trauma ...

Surgical complications in human orthotopic liver transplantation. [PDF]

, 1987
Between March 1, 1980 and December 31, 1984, 393 orthotopic liver transplantations (OLT) were performed in 313 consecutive recipients. Technical complications were responsible for a substantial morbidity (41/393 allograft loss--10.4%) and mortality (26 ...

Infections Complicating Orthotopic Liver Transplantation: A Study Emphasizing Graft-Related Septicemia [PDF]

, 1976
In 93 recipients of 102 orthotopic liver homografts, the incidence of bacteremia or fungemia exceeded 70%. The graft itself was usually an entry site for systemic infection after both immunologic and nonimmunologic parenchymal injury, especially if there

Infantile exocrine pancreatic insufficiency due to a homozygous SPINK1 pathogenic variant in two siblings: A case report

JPGN Reports, EarlyView.
Abstract Infantile exocrine pancreatic insufficiency is a rare condition, most often encountered in the context of cystic fibrosis or Shwachman–Diamond syndrome. The SPINK1 gene encodes a trypsin inhibitor protein that prevents the premature activation of digestive enzymes in pancreatic tissue.

Inter‐Crystal Spacing of Implantable Polymeric Surfaces as a Key Suppressor of Microbial Adhesion.

Small, EarlyView.
Biofilm formation on implantable devices is addressed by controlling inter‐crystal spacing in shape memory polymers. Repeated shape recovery aligns and enlarges crystalline phases and reduces amorphous regions, enhancing bacterial repellency. Three biofilm‐forming bacteria show reduced adhesion, and a one‐year dog bile‐duct model maintains function ...

Incidence, Risk Factors, and Time Trends for Bile Leakage After Cholecystectomy for Gallstone Disease—Results From a Population‐Based Cohort Study

World Journal of Surgery, EarlyView.
Bile leakage is a severe complication after cholecystectomy and is associated with an increased risk of morbidity and mortality. The aim of this study was to evaluate the incidence of bile leakage post‐cholecystectomy and to identify potential risk factors and their association with changes in the incidence of bile leakage over time.
