It is also associated with a cost savings per quality-adjusted year. Because of these two findings, it is now generally accepted that cholecystectomy should be done on cardiac transplant recipients when gallstones are found incidentally.

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...

It goes to show you that the viral emails just won’t die. I’m sure the same email supposedly by a “Dr Lai Chiu-Nan” with details how you can “remove gallstones naturally” is still going round and round. People are fooled after drinking the vegetable oil and juice concoction and then get excited when they pass out little green balls which they take for “gallstones” but in actual fact they aren’t.

They would also like to know how to prevent having another gallstone, avoiding the pain and discomfort. A new study, just presented at the Digestive Disease Week annual meeting, has found that moderate alcohol intake reduces the cholesterol in bile and may decrease the chances of developing gallstones by as much as one third. Gallstones are small stones that develop in the gallbladder, which is a small pear-shaped organ in what is called your right upper abdomen. Bile, which is made in the liver, helps your body digest fats, but the liver makes too much to use all at once. Leftover bile is stored in your gallbladder. When your body needs more bile, the gallbladder releases it into the intestine where the ...

Things seemed in order looking at the patient's history for a cholecystectomy (Gall bladder removal). I said hi to the patient asked a few questions and then moved along to see my other patient that morning.The resident came up to me a few minutes later and told me there was an "issue". The history has looked unremarkable and was wondering what I had missed.Apparently the patient wanted to take her gallbladder home with her as was getting visibly upset when the surgery resident told her that wasn't the usual procedure.Now I'm wondering why someone would want to take a nasty old gallbladder home...yuk.I think the gallbladder usually gets sent to pathology after these sur... i'm so sleepy blogs http://www.medworm.com/rss/comments.php?id=2399285 Sun, 10 May 2009 11:16:00 +0100 2399285 http://www.medworm.com/index.php?rid=1287876&cid=t_114735_136_f&fid=35300&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.metastaticlivercancer.org%2F2008-03-08-cancer-treatment%2Flydia-shum%2F Lydia Shum Din-Ha, one of Hong Kong’s most popular comedian actress, died of liver cancer and other complications on 19 February 2008 at Queen Mary Hospital in Hong Kong .
