New England Journal of Medicine, 1981
THE 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.

Long‐term outcome and recurrence factors after percutaneous cholecystostomy as a definitive treatment for acute cholecystitis

Journal of Gastroenterology and Hepatology, 2019
Percutaneous cholecystostomy (PC) has been frequently used as an alternative treatment for acute cholecystitis in seriously ill patients unfit for surgery. The aim of this study was to investigate the recurrence rate and risk factors of recurrence.

Acute and Chronic Cholecystitis

Surgical Clinics of North America, 1981
The 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.

Acute cholecystitis in the elderly

The American Journal of Surgery, 1990
After a controlled randomized trial, the management of patients with acute cholecystitis was changed from delayed to early cholecystectomy. The results obtained in 125 consecutive patients some years before the trial and in 144 consecutive patients after the trial were compared. All patients were 70 years or older.

Cholelithiasis and acute cholecystitis

Baillière's Clinical Gastroenterology, 1997
Although much is still to be learned about the pathogenesis of cholelithiasis, recent investigations have greatly advanced our knowledge regarding the mechanisms of cholesterol supersaturation and nucleation. Laparoscopic cholecystectomy has lessened the usual peri-operative morbidity of cholecystectomy, but is associated with a higher bile duct injury

Acute emphysematous cholecystitis

The American Journal of Surgery, 1956
Abstract 1. 1. Two cases of acute emphysematous cholecystitis are described and added to a total of thirty-four cases collected from the literature. 2. 2. The diagnosis is dependent upon the plain film of the abdomen showing gas in the gallbladder lumen. A gas-fluid level is often demonstrated. 3. 3.

Acute Gangrenous Cholecystitis

New England Journal of Medicine, 1949
GANGRENE of the gall bladder is a complete necrosis of a portion of the wall in one or more areas, and is frequently followed by perforation. 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 Cholangitis

2016
Although stones in the biliary tree (and especially in the gallbladder) are an extremely common (and many times asymptomatic) disorder, they may even be the cause of insidious infections. Acute cholecystitis (AC) is a bacterial infection (most likely preceded by an inflammation of the gallbladder wall) produced by an obstruction of the cystic duct by ...
