Filter by:The aim of the study is to establishing a standardized clinical information database for patients with malignant tumors of gallbaldder. Based on the database, real-world clinical research on the diagnosis and treatment of biliary tract tumors is about to be carried out, and a high-standard cohort research foundation is laid for precision therapy.
This study prospectively explores antimicrobial resistance in patients with acute cholangitis undergoing ERCP procedures. By analyzing patient profiles, microbial cultures, and treatment outcomes, the current study seeks to identify specific patterns of resistance, assess the effectiveness of current antimicrobial therapies, and explore potential strategies to optimize treatment regimens.
Background: Acute cholecystitis is a frequent cause of visits to the emergency ward. The complications of delays in attention and surgical therapy are substantial and should be considered to prevent them timely. Objective: The study aims to evaluate the assistance provided to patients for cholecystitis in Villavicencio hospitals. Methodology: A retrospective cross-sectional trial will be performed. The source of information will be the surgical database of hospitals at Villavicencio from 2019 to 2022. The records selected will be exported to an Excel spreadsheet for debugging and analysis. The central distribution and dispersion of numerical variables will be analyzed, as frequency and proportion of categorical variables with the software Prism 10.01.1 for Mac iOS. Chi-square and U-Mann & Whitney tests will compare variables according to the data type. A p<0.05 will be defined as statistically significant. Expected results: the researchers hope to define the frequency of hospital discharges due to acute cholecystitis, the type of procedure performed, complications, and outcomes. Conclusions: The research is feasible because the necessary information is available for evaluation, and it is helpful for the institutions and the region.
The investigators included children with living donor liver transplantation (LDLT) from January 1, 2018 to July 31, 2022 as a retrospective cohort, and the group from August 1, 2022 to June 30, 2023 as a prospective cohort. The investigators collected the demographic and clinicopathological data of donors and recipients, and determined the risk factors of early postoperative delayed recovery of hepatic function (DRHF) by univariate and multivariate Logical regression analyses.
Primary sclerosing cholangitis (PSC) is a progressive disease of the biliary tree, which represents one of the most frequent indications for orthotopic liver transplantation (OLTx) in developed countries. There are several lines of evidence that dietary gluten/gliadin displays chronic pro-inflammatory, LPS-like properties. Recent evidence demonstrated the protective effect of gluten- free diet (GFD) in autoimmune diseases like type 1 diabetes, irritable bowel syndrome, non-celiac gluten sensitivity and some neurological disorders. This study is intended to explore therapeutic effect of GFD on PSC and IBD in prospective self-controlled mono-centric intervention study. Hypothesis: Avoidance of gluten in diet will reduce progression, symptoms and intestinal inflammation in PSC and UC patients.
Intravenous anesthesia has been widely used in endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP). In the past decade, many practices have been carried out under the propofol-based monitored anesthesia care without endotracheal intubation in patients undergoing ERCP. Ciprofol is a newly developed intravenous anesthetic with a potency 4-5 times than that of propofol. Ciprofol seems a promising anesthetic agent for intravenous anesthesia but the evidence supported its application in ERCP is still limited.
The aim of the study is to establishing a standardized biobank and a clinical information database for patients with benign and malignant tumors of the biliary system. With follow-up plans and advanced multiomics technology, a multiomics database for patients with benign and malignant tumors of the biliary tract will be further established. Based on the above work, real-world clinical research on the diagnosis and treatment of biliary tract tumors is about to be carried out, and a high-standard cohort research foundation is laid for precision therapy based on multiomics characteristics and molecular typing of biliary tract tumors.
LIVEROBOT is a collaboration of high-volume liver surgical centers in Europe (≥60 liver resections per year), supported by the European-African Hepato-Pancreato-Biliary Association Education Committee (E-AHPBA), and the European Registry of Minimally Invasive Liver Surgery (E-MILS) aiming to support the step-up implementation and safety of advanced surgical expertise of robotic liver surgery (RLS) on a European basis. The LIVEROBOT training program aims to promote the safe implementation of RLS throughout Europe. The data from all patients operated on during a surgeons' participation in the training program will be prospectively gathered allowing for learning curve and outcome analyses.
To assess safety and effectiveness in the long term of percutaneous insertion of Biodegradable (BD) Biliary Stents for the treatment of benign biliary strictures, in a single center experience.
Multiple risk factors have been linked with post-endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography pancreatitis (PEP); therefore, it is critical to follow strategies to reduce associated risk, morbidity, and mortality. However, there are also factors, such as pancreatic duct stenting, which have shown evidence of PEP prevention. The investigators pursue to compare plastic vs biodegradable pancreatic stents in the prevention of PEP.
