The genus Berchemia (family Rhamnaceae), a group of climbing plants, is mainly distributed in Asia, Africa, and South America. Berchemia plants are widely used in traditional medicine in some Asian countries (Inoshiri et al. 1987). For example, in Japan, B. racemosa (synonym B. floribunda ) is used for the treatment of gallstones, liver diseases, neuralgia, and stomach cramps, and in China, B. floribunda is used for the treatment of rheumatism and lumbago. In August 2022, typical powdery mildew symptoms were observed on wild B...

INTRODUCTION: We report the first case of a choledocholithiasis migrating into the main pancreatic duct (MPD) due to catheter manipulation during endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP). CASE PRESENTATION: A 57-year-old woman complaining of vomiting was diagnosed with acute cholangitis and pancreatitis due to choledocholithiasis. During ERCP, the stone migrated from the papilla into the MPD due to the pushing motion of the catheter. However, the ERCP session was completed after biliary sphincterotomy without intervention in the MPD because the migration was not noticed...

BACKGROUND Pyloric obstruction after dichlorvos poisoning causes repeated vomiting and inability to eat. Choledocholithiasis and cholelithiasis are the common digestive diseases, with high morbidity and relapse in elderly patients. However, the complex situation of these diseases' coexistence is a clinically intractable problem, and literature on selecting optimal surgical planning is scarce. CASE REPORT A thin 79-year-old woman took dichlorvos due to family conflicts. She improved after being urgently sent to local hospital for gastric lavage and detoxification...

Background: Due to the increasing use of laparoscopy for symptomatic cholelithiasis and other gallbladder disorders, as well as the ongoing issue of associated biliary tree injuries, endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) still holds a significant position in the diagnosis and treatment of postcholecystectomy disorders. In our study, we aimed to examine the relationship between the time elapsed between cholecystectomy and ERCP with the post-ERCP complications. Methods: Ninety-six patients with a history of cholecystectomy who underwent ERCP between January 2016 and January 2021 at the General Surgery Clinic of the University of Health Sciences Bakırköy Dr...

Gallstones are crystalline deposits in the gallbladder that are traditionally classified as cholesterol, pigment, or mixed stones based on their composition. Microbiota and host metabolism variances among the different types of gallstones remain largely unclear. Here, the bile and gallstone microbial species spectra of 29 subjects with gallstone disease (GSD, 24 cholesterol and 5 pigment) were revealed by type IIB restriction site-associated DNA microbiome sequencing (2bRAD-M). Among them (21 subjects: 18 cholesterol and 3 pigment), plasma samples were subjected to liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS) untargeted metabolomics...

One of the most uncommon cystic duct abnormalities is double cystic ducts exiting a single gallbladder. Adequate knowledge of this anomaly should be kept in mind to avoid any surgical complications. We present a case of a 49-year-old Asian Pakistani male patient who had an elective laparoscopic cholecystectomy and was discovered to have two distinct cystic ducts leaving the gallbladder. On examination, there were no other clinically relevant signs except for mild tenderness in the right hypochondrium. Ultrasound of the abdomen and pelvis confirmed the diagnosis of cholelithiasis...

BACKGROUND: General obesity is a well-established risk factor for gallstone disease (GSD), but whether central obesity contributes additional independent risk remains controversial. We aimed to comprehensively clarify the effect of body fat distribution on GSD. METHODS: We first investigated the observational association of central adiposity, characterized by waist-to-hip ratio (WHR), with GSD risk using data from UK Biobank (N=472,050). We then explored the genetic relationship using summary statistics from the largest genome-wide association study of GSD ( ncase =43,639, ncontrol =506,798) as well as WHR, with and without adjusting for body mass index (BMI) (WHR: n =697,734; WHRadj BMI: n =694,649)...

BACKGROUND: While observation studies have shown a positive correlation between inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) and the risk of nonmalignant digestive system diseases, a definitive causal relationship has not yet been clearly established. METHODS: Mendelian randomization (MR) was employed to investigate the potential causal association between genetic susceptibility to IBD and nonmalignant gastrointestinal diseases. Genetic variants were extracted as instrumental variables (IVs) from a genome-wide association study (GWAS) meta-analysis, which included 12,194 cases of Crohn's disease (CD) and 28,072 control cases of European ancestry...

This monthly article provides a collection of summaries of the most relevant studies identified as POEMs (patient-oriented evidence that matters) for Italian primary care physicians. 1) A simple, well-validated risk score can help clinicians counsel patients with atrial fibrillation regarding the use of DOACs to prevent stroke. The score shares its name with the drug class (the "DOAC" score). 2) Presumably by perturbing the intestinal microbiome, antibiotic treatment is associated with an increase in the likelihood of the development of irritable bowel disease; this is especially true with multiple courses of antibiotics...

BACKGROUND: Prompt diagnosis of choledocholithiasis is crucial for reducing disease severity, preventing complications and minimizing length of stay. Magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography (MRCP) is commonly used to evaluate patients with suspected choledocholithiasis but is expensive and may delay definitive intervention. To optimize patient care and resource utilization, we have developed five machine learning models that predict a patients' risk of choledocholithiasis based on clinical presentation and pre-MRCP investigation results...

Introduction: While glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1 RAs) have become increasingly prescribed, use is often inhibited by the gastrointestinal adverse effects that patients must endure. Nausea, vomiting, and cholelithiasis are most commonly associated with use, with little to no data or labeling reflecting risk of appendicitis or associated symptoms. Appendicitis etiology is theorized to develop secondary to obstruction of the vermiform via infection or fecalith causing an increase in intraluminal pressure...

Bile leak is an uncommon complication post cholecystectomy. The bile may originate from the cystic duct stump and less commonly from the aberrant ducts of Luschka. Such complications may occur when anatomical variations in the biliary tree go unnoticed. This case report presents a 24-year-old otherwise healthy female who presented with abdominal pain and distension that began 3 days after she underwent open cholecystectomy for symptomatic cholelithiasis. Imaging revealed choledocholelithiasis in the distal common bile duct, and free intrabdominal fluid collection...

Internal biliary fistula is a rare but well-known complication of cholelithiasis. It is a notoriously challenging entity to diagnose and manage. Gallstones are often the causative factor in the formation of a cholecystoenteric fistula, with the most common internal biliary fistula being a cholecystoduodenal fistula followed by a cholecystocolonic fistula. Rarely, do these fistulae exist simultaneously. Here, we present an uncommon case of cholecysto-duodenocolonic fistula.

Chronic octreotide use has been associated with gallstone formation. Historically, cholecystectomy has been the defining treatment for those who have gallstone-related disease. For those who are poor surgical candidates, percutaneous and endoscopic approaches have been used. We describe the endoscopic management of a 74-year-old man with significant gallstone burden and associated sequelae because of chronic octreotide for metastatic neuroendocrine tumor through endoscopic ultrasound-guided cholecystoduodenostomy with gallstone extraction using lumen-apposing metal stents...

Gallbladder stones with common bile duct (CBD) stones can be managed by a single-stage laparoscopic approach with transcystic or transcholedochal CBD exploration and cholecystectomy or a two-stage approach with endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) for stone extraction followed by laparoscopic cholecystectomy. Comparative outcomes between these approaches remain controversial. The objective was to compare single-stage laparoscopic CBD exploration and cholecystectomy versus two-stage ERCP stone removal followed by laparoscopic cholecystectomy for clearance of CBD stones, complications, length of stay, and costs...

BACKGROUND: Laparoscopic cholecystectomy is the gold standard treatment for benign gallbladder disease. However, few studies have reported the difficulty of interval cholecystectomy after cholecystitis because early cholecystectomy is recommended for acute cholecystitis. In this study, we evaluated the difficulties associated with interval cholecystectomy for cholecystitis with gallstones. METHODS: We retrospectively analyzed patients with gallstones who underwent interval laparoscopic cholecystectomy for cholecystitis at our institution between January 2012 and December 2021...

INTRODUCTION AND IMPORTANCE: Gallstone ileus is a rare condition, accounting for 0.5 % of mechanical small bowel obstructions. It is a misnomer for mechanical intestinal obstruction caused by one or more gallstones impacted within the gastrointestinal tract lumen, which occurs mostly in the elderly and female population. Treated usually by operative enterolithotomy. Preoperative diagnosis is challenging, but CT, which is investigation of choice, and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) have made it easier to diagnose...
