It typically is located on the posterior gallbladder wall and is injured or unrecognized in .04% to 0.2% of cholecystectomies (gallbladder removal.) It most commonly presents 1 week after gallbladder resection with nausea, vomiting, and abdominal pain from the freely draining bile into the abdominal cavity. ERCP is performed for suspected duct of Luschka injuries as the test is both diagnostic and therapeutic. If the leak is considered low-grade, sphincterotomy is performed and is successful in closing the leak about 90% of the time. For high-grade leaks (i.e., leaks that present relatively earlier in the post-operative course) stenting is used with virtually all leaks closing....

Initial management steps include chest tube drainage of the affected pleural space and nothing per mouth with supplementation of total parenteral nutrition (TPN) If leak persists after two weeks, surgery is performed to ligate the thoracic duct.

Contrary to what most people think, these aren’t caused by frog’s urine. They are caused by a virus called the human papilloma virus (HPV). There are a lot of ways to get rid of these pesky lesions but every technique aims to destroy the virus. You can apply an over-the-counter salicylic acid gel or solution, freeze it with liquid nitrogen, zap it with a laser or have it cauterized but I think the cheapest way to do it is to use duct tape. That’s right, DUCT TAPE!. Simply cut a piece of duct tape and apply it on the wart then leave it on for 7 days. On the eighth day, take it off and repeat the process until the wart disappears. It may take a month or two for it to completely resolve . This isn’t a guar...

The Associated Press is reporting tonight that Pennsylvania Congressman Bob Brady of Philadelphia has stated that Murtha suffered from injury to his large intestine during the operation at Bethesda Naval Hospital to remove his gallbladder. The gallbladder was reportedly removed laparoscopically or as it is sometimes described via a minimally invasive technique. Murtha was apparently discharged to home and then presented to the Virginia Hospital Center complaining of abdominal pain and a fever. Several days ago he was reported to be in the intensive care unit, indicating that a serious comp...

April explains, “There were red abrasions on his wrists. It looked almost like where the tap...

Grace visited the ENT today, and he feels that the lump in her neck is something called a thyroglossal duct cyst.... [[ This is a content summary only.

My sincere thanks to Microsoft for supporting women entrepreneurs. It was a pleasure to meet other supportive and energetic business women. I also enjoyed participating as a panelist and was honored to share my personal start-up story and field questions from other business women. Every business owner has a startup story. As I networked with other women, it made me think about how each of us face individual yet similar challenges while trying to grow our businesses. Friends who don’t get the vision. Parents who think the college degree in English Lit is wasted in a pet grooming business. A spouse who thinks a “9 to 5” is the key to a comfortab...

But yes, the photo is a photo of an actual object in our actual apartment: It’s Charlie’s “photo bucket” that he keeps his (just as you guessed) photos in. This bucket was found by me some years ago on a shelf with bags of Halloween candy no one wants (those tiny Charms lollipops) at Target. It was high time for Charlie and me to make a hasty exit. I had realized that I had forgotten to get him a plastic pumpkin for trick or treating and we were not going back to the par...

An FDA approved test called the Halo Breast Pap Test System might be able to do just that by collecting Nipple Aspirate Fluid (NAF). The test is designed to detect abnormal cells in the breast. The Halo system can identify benign disease as well as abnormal ductal cells that can be precursors to cancer. Some research has suggested that ductal fluid excreted from the nipple can be used to identify a women's specific risk of breast cancer. A women with abnormal cells in the fluid has a four to five times greater risk of developing breast cancer. Think about this: The introduction of the HALO Breast Pap Test ...
