introduction wilson’s disease is an autosomal recessive disorder, characterized by a disturbance in copper metabolism that leads to copper overload in different tissues of the body. because of various manifestations of wilson’s disease, physicians should have high index suspicion when patients manifest any type of liver disease, neurologic and psychiatric signs and symptoms. discussion wilson’s...
patients and methods: this study included 526 subjects. gallstones and bile samples of the patients were cultured. isolates were identified by different biochemical tests and examined for their β-glucuronidase activity, slime production and urease activity. biostatistical analyses were done to determine the relationship between the biliary bacterial factors and the types of gallstones. role of ...
Gallstone ileus is an uncommon entity that was first described by Bartholin in 1654. Despite advances in perioperative care, morbidity and mortality remain high in patients with gallstone ileus because: 1) they are geriatric patients; 2) they often have multiple comorbidities; 3) presentation to the hospital is delayed; 4) many are volume depleted with electrolyte abnormalities; and 5) the diag...
Gallstone disease is a major source of morbidity in Western countries. Nuts are rich in several compounds that may be protective against gallstones. The objective of the study was to examine the relation between nut consumption and gallstone disease in the Health Professionals Follow-up Study. The consumption of nuts was assessed starting in 1986 as part of a 131-item semiquantitative food freq...
Gallstone ileus is an uncommon cause of small bowel obstruction which occurs in patients with chronic cholecystitis and gallstones who develop a cholecystoenteric fistula. Although gallstone ileus is relatively rare, it has a substantial mortality rate due in part to patient comorbidities and delays in treatment. We describe the case of a 94-year-old woman who presented with nausea, vomiting, m...
Background: Effect of duration of cholecystectomy on orocecal transit time and small intestinal bacterial overgrowth in gallstone patients is poorly understood. Method: 128 gallstone patients of either sex, aged between 25-68 years were enrolled. 79/128 followed after 4-6 months of cholecystectomy. 49 patients had undergone cholecystectomy 2 15years before study and reported gastrointestinal sy...
Altered hepatic cholesterol metabolism has been implicated in the etiology of cholesterol gallstones. This hypothesis has been examined by determining acyl-coenzyme A:cholesterol acyltransferase (ACAT) activity in liver biopsies from 31 cholesterol gallstone patients and 12 control subjects. Hepatic ACAT activity in gallstone patients was decreased to one-third that in controls (P less than 0.0...
Gallstone ileus is an uncommon cause of small bowel obstruction. We present a case of small intestinal obstruction owing to a large gallstone in lower ileum in a 65 years old man. The diagnosis was made by computed tomography.
Gallstone ileus is a rare disease that accounts for 1-4% of intestinal obstructions. Almost exclusively a condition in the older female population, it is a difficult diagnosis to make. We report the case of gallstone ileus in a 94-year-old Caucasian female, who presented to the emergency department with acute-onset nausea, coffee-ground emesis, lack of bowel movement, and abdominal distension. ...
We report a 91-year-old woman presenting bowel obstruction due to impacted gallstone, who was the oldest patient which has been reported in Japanese scientific literature. The patient was referred to our hospital due to vomiting and abdominal pain. Computed tomography and abdominal X-ray showed dilated loops of small intestine associated with air-fluid levels, pneumobilia, and a calcified mass ...
