Gallstones are described as digestive fluid that has hardened which can be very painful. They form in the gallbladder which is a pear shaped organ that is located on the right side of of the abdomen right underneath the liver. Gallstones can be many sizes which varies how much the pain is. They can be as small as a crumb to a size of a golf ball! Ouch! Also, some people have more than one, while other people may just have one. More than likely, you will have symptoms if you have gallstones and if

the scaffold distributes the cells about 2-3 mm apart and allows the cells better access to nutrients and means of waste removal, which is important when trying to grow an evenly distributed functioning organ. For larger, solid organs, such as the liver, pancreas, and kidneys, blood vessels need to be created so the organs have adequate blood supply. By covering the engineered organs with growth factors, angiogenesis, the formation of new vasculature, can be prompted. Although tissue engineers

Change Paper Change is an inevitable element in life. Some people may view change as an exciting opportunity for a new adventure, while others may see change as a distressing obstacle that prompts fear and resistance. Either way, change provides opportunities for a person to grow, gain new experiences, and learn flexibility. Resisting change will hold you back from accomplishing your goals and rob you of your confidence. However, learning to embrace change, can teach you to be more prepared and ready

the cells in your body. The sugars and starches we consume turns into another type of sugar, also known as glucose. The glucose also travels through the bloodstream and provides energy for the cells in the body. The excess glucose is stored in the liver, which has over five hundred functions; another fun fact. When the nutrients have been absorbed into the bloodstream, the food becomes waste and moves into the large intestine. The large intestine absorbs water from the remaining matter and transmits

Financial Rewards for Living Organ Donors Deciding whether or not one would like to become an organ donor should be a relatively simple decision. But becoming a living organ donor, for someone who may need a kidney or liver, is something that is not always possible to those who do want to help. Unfortunately many people incur costs for the life-saving donation. Regardless of the fact that many other types of donors get paid for their donations. Here lies the frustration of many who are waiting years

Cholelithiasis, are the reaming’s of the digestive fluid bile, which form within the gallbladder. They vary in size and shape from as small as a grain of sand to as large as a golf ball.[1] Cholelithiasis occur when there is an imbalance in the chemical constituents of bile that result in precipitation of one or more of the components. Gallstone disease is often thought to be a major affliction in modern society.[2] However, cholelithiasis must have been known to humans for many years, since they

Statistical Methods Data management and statistical analysis by SPSS software version 13 was used. Baseline laboratory markers were expressed as mean ± standard deviation (SD) or standard of error (SE) when appropriate. Progression free survival and overall survival were analysed by the Kaplan-Meier method. Paired t test was used to compare AFP, size and number of focal lesions after therapy. ANOVA test was used when appropriate, P< 0.05 indicating statistically significance result. Results The

approved the study protocol and all patients provided written informed consent before entering the study. All patients subjected to complete assessment, including proper history, clinical examination, laboratory investigations (complete blood count, liver and renal function tests, blood sugar, and serum amylase), and imaging studies (ultrasonography and/or CT, MRCP). All ERCP procedures were performed by experienced endoscopists using the standard duodenoscope (ED-3440T and ED-3485T,

Throughout modern day society, many diseases that humans would consider harmful and just simply and outright, fatal, were actually beneficial to our ancestors, centuries ago. Granted, there are definitely many diseases today that are killing millions of people, but these same diseases that exist have done the opposite for our ancestors. Many of these diseases such as diabetes, and hemochromatosis that we consider deadly provide us a follow up question: Why was this disease selected into our gene

Liver resection is the only therapeutic treatment option for several neoplastic entities of the liver [1] [2]. It becomes the routine aspect of administering certain liver conditions such as primary liver malignancies and secondary’s certain. Five-year survival is insignificant in un-treated patients compared with around 30% in those receiving hepatic resection [1]. However, Hepatic resection is still among some of the most complex operative interventions performed and is full of risk and complications
