ABSTRACT Objectives Gallbladder drainage is used for patients with acute cholecystitis (AC) who are unsuitable for emergency cholecystectomy. Percutaneous transhepatic gallbladder drainage (PTGBD), endoscopic ultrasound‐guided gallbladder drainage (EUS‐GBD), and endoscopic transpapillary GBD (ETGBD) are used as bridge‐to‐surgery (BTS) approaches, but ...

ABSTRACT Objectives The clinical performance of double half‐pigtail plastic stents (DHPs) for malignant distal biliary obstruction (MDBO) remains unclear. We compared DHPs with straight plastic stents (STs) regarding the timing, incidence, and causes of recurrent biliary obstruction (RBO). Methods This single‐center retrospective cohort study evaluated

ABSTRACT Background and Aims Primary sclerosing cholangitis (PSC) is a rare, progressive cholangiopathy for which diagnosis remains challenging because of the absence of disease‐specific markers and the presence of secondary causes of sclerosing cholangitis (SSC) that closely mimic its clinical presentation. Diagnostic uncertainty can delay appropriate

ABSTRACT Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) remains one of the deadliest cancers due to its asymptomatic progression, late‐stage diagnosis, and treatment resistance. Efforts in early detection have centered on identifying imaging features and liquid biopsy biomarkers capable of detecting PDAC and its high‐grade precursors before clinical symptoms ...

ABSTRACT Low phospholipid‐associated cholelithiasis (LPAC) syndrome is a rare inherited disorder caused by ABCB4 mutations with heterogeneous manifestations. We describe two LPAC cases in a mother–son pair, detailing their clinical presentations, diagnostic evaluations, and management. A novel ABCB4 frameshift variant (c.715_716insTT; p.Ser239PhefsTer9)

1. Irregular dietary patterns (e.g., late breakfast, reduced meal frequency) upregulate the bai gene cluster by disrupting cholecystokinin (CCK) release rhythms and gut microbiota circadian rhythms, leading to increased production of secondary bile acids, particularly DCA. High‐carbohydrate dietary patterns increase gallstone risk (OR = 1.329).
