Case Reports in Surgery, 2016 Mirizzi syndrome has been defined in the literature as common bile duct obstruction resulting from calculi within Hartmann’s pouch or cystic duct. We present a case of a 78-year-old female, who developed postcholecystectomy Mirizzi syndrome from a ...

Obstructing mucocele of the cystic duct after transplantation of the liver [PDF]
, 1989 A tension mucocele was created in three hepatic homografts by ligating a low-lying cystic duct during transplant cholecystectomy and by incorporating its outflow end into the anastomosis of the common hepatic duct to the recipient common duct or Roux ...

A case of distal extrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma with two positive resection margins [PDF]
, 2016 Cholangiocarcinoma is an uncommon primary malignancy of the biliary tract that is challenging to diagnose and treat effectively due to its relatively silent and late clinical presentation.

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.Combining melting curve analysis enhances the multiplexing capability of digital PCR. Here, we developed a 14‐plex assay to simultaneously measure single nucleotide mutations and amplifications of KRAS and GNAS, which are common driver genes in pancreatic cancer precursors. This assay accurately quantified variant allele frequencies in clinical samples

Investigation of the Flow in a Compliant Idealised Human Cystic Duct
Journal of Biomechanical Science and Engineering, 2008 The cystic duct is a very complicated conduit that connects the gallbladder to the common bile duct. The geometry of the cystic duct and its functions, in particular the valves of Heister, in the flow of bile into and out of the gallbladder have always ...

On turbulent friction in straight ducts with complex cross section: the wall law and the hydraulic diameter [PDF]
, 2018 We develop predictive formulas for friction resistance in ducts with complex cross-sectional shape based on the use of the log law and neglect of wall shear stress nonuniformities. The traditional hydraulic diameter naturally emerges from the analysis as the controlling length scale for common duct shapes as triangles and regular polygons. The analysis

Aspect ratio effect on particle transport in turbulent duct flows [PDF]
Physics of Fluids 28, 115103 (2016), 2016 The dynamics of dilute micron-sized spherical inertial particles in turbulent duct flows is studied by means of direct numerical simulations of the carrier phase turbulence with one-way coupled Lagrangian particles. The geometries are a square and a rectangular duct with width-to-height aspect ratio $AR$ of 3 operating at $Re_{\tau,c}=360$ .

Recurrent chemical pancreatitis complicating choledochal cystic disease [PDF]
, 2008 A seventeen year old lady presented with a twelve year history of self-limiting attacks of severe epigastric pain, associated with occasional fever, normal total white cell count (WCC), normal or mildly elevated serum alanine transaminase (ALT) (13-200iu/
