Gallbladder Carcinoma

Cholecystitis is inflammation of the gallbladder. Inflammation usually forms when a gallstone blocks the cystic duct that transports bile. Cholecystitis is the most common problem resulting from gallbladder stones (90% of the cases).

Gallstones hold a very close annoying factor in my heart. As a registered nurse in a very busy Emergency Room, I find myself dealing with at least 2-4 gallstone/pain ER admits on every shift. I believe that one of the main reasons for the recurrent visits is due to the lack of education regarding their diet. My goal with this Outreach Project was to provide education regarding a healthy diet along with quick references to both the inappropriate and appropriate foods needed in order to manage the diagnosis of gallstones.

Chemotherapy is another option of treatment for pancreatic cancer and for other types as well. Although, the effect has been unsuccessful for many. This cancer seems to be resistant to most chemotherapy regimes because they contain and are surrounded by protective barriers of dense scar tissue called fibrosis. This allows the tumors to resist the treatment and attack the immune system. Not only that, but these cancer cells can protect the nuclei and repair their damaged DNA that was caused by chemotherapy drugs that get to the tumor and further protecting

Experts claim that the consumption of the mixture within the morning, on an empty abdomen, prevents the expansion of gallstones. Moreover, the consumption of a glass of water, olive oil, and juice an hour before the breakfast will detoxify the liver, kidneys, and the

Although regular exercise can typically help prevent symptoms worsening, the physical exertion can make gallbladder attack worse. So be a picky when it comes to exercise. Walking and biking were best for me, though you need to find out what suits your body better.

A theory that would explain the beginning of the patient’s condition is that the chronic inflammation changes the gallbladder wall because of the different types of gallstones hitting the epithelial tissues which then makes the gallbladder extremely sensitive. Some patients even experience pain after eating a meal because

The gallbladder is located under the right lobe of the liver. It stores bile that produced by the liver until it releases into the duodenum to expedite absorption of fats, fat-soluble vitamins, minerals which is part of the digestive system. According to Jorden’s symptoms such as mild pain in midepigastric region, radiating to the right upper quadrant of the abdomen and right subscapular are, as his nurse, I could acknowledge the reasons cause all that symptoms are due to cholesterol problem. It’s a major constituent of gallstone which is one of the gallbladder disorders. Patient who experience it will be in a high risk of inflamed gallbladder due to a big heavy consumption of high-fat meal. And also because the gallbladder is located under

Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is the most common primary malignant tumor of the liver,also it is known to be the fifth most common cancer and third most common cause of cancer-related death worldwide (1,2).HCC is a hypervascular tumor that mostly occurs in the settings of liver cirrhosis,and one of the leading causes of death in patients with cirrhosis.

• Tumors. Tumors can stop bile from leaving your gallbladder correctly, causing bile to build

Several studies have been done for detecting malignant biliary strictures .For example, osteopontin was the most consistently overexpressed gene in intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (Hass et al. ,2008).

The gallbladder is a small storage organ shaped like a small pear under the liver, in which bile is stored after it is secreted by the liver and before it is released into the duodenum of the small intestine to break down any fatty foods. Bile comes from cholesterol, bile salts, and waste products and without the gallbladder there is no longer a storage place to hold the bile. It continuously runs from the liver, through the hepatic ducts, into the bile duct, and straight into the small intestine. When a rich in fat meal is consumed, there is too little bile accessible to digest it suitably.

Gallbladder is a small organ of the body which is located in the right side of the liver. It is responsible of storing the bile and releasing it to the intestine. The gallbladder can subject to the mechanical deformation/loading as a result of the cholecystitis, cholesterolosis of the gallbladder, etc. However, so far the mechanical properties of the human gallbladder have not been measured. This study was aimed at conducting an experimental study to measure the mechanical properties of the human gallbladder under the axial and transversal tensile loadings. To do that, the gallbladder tissue of 16 male individuals were excised during the autopsy and subjected to a series of axial and transversal loadings under the strain rate of 5 mm/min. The

Cholangiocarcinoma is a rare malignancy that originates from the epithelial lining of the biliary ductal system. It constitutes around 3% of all gastrointestinal malignancies. There is a high variability in the estimated incidence of cholangiocarcinoma across the world, with the highest age standardized incidence rate in the northeast provinces of Thailand (113 per 100,00 person-year) as compared to the western hemisphere (0.5-1.5 per 100,00 person-year). Cholangiocarcinomas are resistant to chemotherapy and radiotherapy and surgical resection constitutes the definitive form of therapy. Poor prognosis and low 5 year survival is almost universal to theses tumors,

Portal biliopathy (PB) is a clinical condition defined as the presence of abnormalities in the biliary tree (including biliary tree and gallbladder) in patients with non-cirrhotic/non-neoplastic extrahepatic portal vein obstruction (EHPVO) and portal cavernoma (PC)[1]. In literature, this disease has been named as “portal hypertensive biliopathy” [2], “portal cavernoma-associated cholangiopathy” [3], “portal cavernomacholangiopathy” [4], “cholangiopathy associated with portal hypertension” [5], “pseudosclerosing cholangitis” [6] and “pseudocholangiocarcinoma”[7] due to the fact that PB biliary alterations can mimic sclerosing cholangitis or cholangiocarcinoma, respectively.

A healthy gallbladder empties when fatty foods enter the duodenum to aid in breaking down large fat particles into smaller ones. In most cases, cholecystitis is caused by a blockage or a stone in the gallbladder. “About 90 % of cholecystitis is caused by gallstones, often found blocking the cystic duct” (Baldwin 2008). Bile becomes trapped in the gallbladder and
