Role of High total protein in gallbladder bile in the formation of cholesterol gallstones. [PDF]
While it is generally accepted that cholesterol supersaturation of bile is of key importance in the rapid formation of cholesterol crystals, the role of total biliary protein and pH in the pathogenesis of cholesterol gallstones is less well understood ...

Abstract Objectives Spinal cord stimulation (SCS) is an effective therapy for chronic intractable pain. Conventional SCS involves electrode placement based on intraoperative paresthesia mapping; however, newer paradigms like burst may allow for anatomic placement of leads.

The differentiation of cholesterol and pigment gallstones [PDF]
Gallbladder biles and stones were obtained at 116 cholecystectomies for symptomatic gallstone disease. All 33 patients younger than 50 years had cholesterol stones, whereas 40% of the older patients had pigment stones.

Indomethacin decreases viscosity of gallbladder bile in patients with cholesterol gallstone disease [PDF]
There is experimental evidence that inhibition of cyclooxygenase with nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs may decrease cholesterol gall-stone formation and mitigate biliary pain in gall-stone patients.

Association between cholesterol-phospholipid vesicles and cholesterol crystals in human gallbladder bile [PDF]
Rapid aggregation of cholesterol-phospholipid vesicles in gallbladder bile seems to be the first event in the production of cholesterol crystals, a prerequisite for cholesterol gallstone formation.

Dietary N-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids decrease biliary cholesterol saturation in gallstone disease [PDF]
Because fatty acid composition of biliary phospholipids influences cholesterol secretion into bile, we investigated whether replacement of n-1 monounsaturated or n-6 polyunsaturated fatty acids with n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids in biliary ...

Effects of ursodeoxycholic acid on synthesis of cholesterol and bile acids in healthy subjects [PDF]
Background/Aims: Ursodeoxycholic acid ( UDCA) decreases biliary secretion of cholesterol and is therefore used for the dissolution of cholesterol gallstones.

Background: Although substantial evidence suggests an association between dyslipidemia as an isolated factor and gallstones, research on the Atherogenic Index of Plasma (AIP) and gallstones remains limited.

Biliary cholesterol crystallization characterized by single-crystal cryogenic electron diffraction
Cholesterol crystals are the building blocks of cholesterol gallstones. The exact structure of early-forming crystals is still controversial. We combined cryogenic-temperature transmission electron microscopy with cryogenic-temperature electron ...
