But some surgeries are riskier than others and even more so for certain groups of people. Seniors, those aged 65  years or older, often undergo surgery for various ailments that have either been neglected over time or have developed over the years. And, as the population ages, more surgeries will be done in that age group. According to a study just published in the Archives of Surgery, every year, approximately two million seniors have abdominal surgery. Abdominal surgeries, any type of surgery that involves the abdomen, are particularly risky for seniors, say researcher from the University of Washington School of Medicine in Seattle, Washington. The researchers were looking at complication and death rates of 101,318 senio...

There are 3 pathologic types – Diffuse, segmental and localized.Our case seems to be of Localized and segmental variety as it is specifically involving the fundal region and also dividing the lumen into separate interconnected compartments.T2 weighted coronal, axial and MR cholangiography demonstrate these intramural cystic spaces which appears as bright, high signal intensity areas in the thickened gall bladder wall – the “pearl necklace” sign. Also septated compartments due to focal stricture are well visualized. From Sumer's Radiology Site http://www.sumerdoc.blogspot.com -The Top Radiology Magaz...

A whole lot. I’m losing weight, I’ve reduced the volume of the food I’m eating, I’ve cut back the carbs, and the little averages my smarty-pants meter is calculating is dipping. Heck, I even got my mail-order HbA1c test back and am in the normal range, so my pancreas may be limping but it’s not busted (yet, if ever ... I’m just hoping the genetic dice roll good for me, too).I’m doing the research, I’m eating better, and everything is perfect. This is easy! Except for the stabbing pain where my gallbladder used to be. Oh, yeah, that.Did I ever mention that I had my gall bladder out? About four years ago. And the first few months I couldn’t eat anything “good”. I just stuck to carbs and tried to keep the protein up with lean meat...
