83 year old male with multiple co-morbidities presented with fever, abnormal liver enzymes and dilated common bile duct (CBD) up to 15 mm in size on abdominal CT scan and elevated international normalized ratio (INR). A pull type sphincterotome was used to cannulate the common bile duct. After the slight adjustment, the sphincterotome was advanced freely without any resistance into the common bile duct and the cholangiogram was obtained.
Here we see a large common bile duct stone on the cholangiogram. This stone was approximately 15 mm in size. A small biliary sphincterotomy was performed using the endocut current. We u...

A protein found in the saliva of ticks helps protect mice from developing Lyme disease, Yale researchers have discovered. The findings, published in the November 19 issue of Cell Host & Microbe, may spur development of a new vaccine against infection from Lyme disease, which is spread through tick bites. Traditionally, vaccines have directly targeted specific pathogens. (Source: Health News from Medical News Today)

Conclusions. Gilles de la Tourette syndrome is a complex neuropsychiatric disorder with a significant prevalence in the general population. More than 50% of the patients with TS present a behavioral comorbidity, and anxiety and depression are, to various degrees, associated to this "waxing and waning" clinical picture. DBS in our experience proved to be a valid treatment modality for those patients who fail to respond to conservative treatment modalities. A multidisciplinary team is nevertheless necessary to properly handle this complex therapeutic option. (Source: Neuromodulation)

Conclusion
This well-conducted scientific study looked at complex immune pathways in mice and appears to have been over-interpreted in the study’s press release and lay media reports, which suggest that these findings have important implications for seasonal flu and H1N1 vaccination.
It is important that scientists study the complex mechanisms in animal and human immunity, and this early research warrants further exploration. However, given the experimental nature of this animal study, it is premature to conclude that this study is relevant to flu vaccination programmes.

Conclusions Urine microscopy and urine sediment examination is widely available, easy to perform, and inexpensive. The clinical utility
of urine microscopy in the differential diagnosis and prediction of outcome in AKI may be increased by using a simple urinary
scoring system based on the number of renal tubular epithelial cells and renal tubular epithelial cell/granular casts.

Conclusion In reviewing our preliminary experience, we observed that coil extraction during microsurgery was not necessary when the clip
coil ratio was ≥1.3. The ratio may serve as an indirect indicator of the amount of aneurysm tissue that can be incorporated
within a clip; however, given the small patient population, further studies are needed to validate this concept.

Her grandmother had shared intense feelings about the recent passing of a good friend. As the young girl listened, her mind wandered to thoughts of her grandmother dying. The worry soon spiraled into concerns about the girl’s own death. She became so disturbed, she cut short her visit to her grandmother and ran home.Psych...
