Filter by: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.
The goal of this prospective observational study is to explore the role of the gut microbiome in patients with gallstone disease. The main question[s] it aims to answer are: - if there is a relationship between the gut microbiome and the development of complications associated with gallstone disease (such as pancreatitis and acute cholecystitis) - if there are changes in the gut microbiome following cholecystectomy and the relationship with patient outcomes. Participants will be asked to provide stool samples at fixed time points (recruitment, pre- and post-cholecystectomy if applicable and at 6 months and 3 years. They will also be asked to provide stool samples if they represent to hospital with complications associated with their gallstone disease.
The purpose of this study is to compare different dosages and ways of administration of indocyanine green during fluorescent cholangiography in laparoscopic cholecystectomy. The study is randomized.
The most common cause of acute pancreatitis is gallstones. It is known that diet and obesity play a role in the formation of gallstones. It has been reported that the risk of gallstone formation is two times higher in obese individuals with a body mass index (BMI) >30 than in normal-weight individuals with a BMI between 20-25. The epidemiological literature on the relationship between diet and risk of acute pancreatitis is very limited. In addition, it is often unclear which type (acute, recurrent, or chronic) and subtype (gallstone-related or non-gallstone-related) of acute pancreatitis is studied in studies. Although there are studies in the literature evaluating the relationship between diet and development of gallstones or the development of pancreatitis with diet, studies examining the role of diet in the development of pancreatitis in patients with gallstones are very limited. In this study, we aimed to investigate the dietary differences in patients with gallstones who had pancreatitis and those who did not.
Gallstone ileus is a rare complication of gallstone disease. There is no systematic review on CGI. We analyze published literature on the subject and plan to propose a diagnostic-therapeutic algorithm for CGI. Following the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analysis (PRISMA) and AMSTAR (Assessing the methodological quality of systematic reviews) guidelines, we will performe a systematic review of English-, German-, Spanish-, Japanese-, and Italian-language articles using PubMed (1946-2021), PubMed Central (1900-2021), and Google Scholar. The search items include 'gallstone ileus', 'colonic gallstone ileus', 'gallstone coleus', 'cholecystocolonic fistula', 'ileo biliar', 'iléus biliaire', 'ileo di calcoli biliary', 'galsteen ileus', 'fístula colecistocolônica', 'fistule cholécystocolique'. Additional studies will be identified by reviewing reference lists of retrieved studies. We will include all cases and case series with a complete description of CGI. Exclusion criteria: (1) small bowel gallstone ileus; (2) gastric outlet gallstone ileus; (3) non-gallstone intraluminal obstruction; and (4) cholecystocolonic fistula without CGI. The primary outcome: a relationship of demographic data, gallstone size, symptoms, obstruction level, risk factors, and comorbidities (biliary history, diverticular disease, cardiovascular disease, radiation of pelvis), diagnostics (palpable mass in the abdomen and rectal exam, laboratory tests, sigmoidoscopy/colonoscopy, x-ray, computed tomography (CT), colonic Rigler's triad) with the correct diagnosis. The secondary outcome: the identification of therapeutic options and related survival. The third outcome: to develop a comprehensive diagnostic-therapeutic algorithm for CGI. The study is exempt from ethics approval because we synthesized data from published studies.
Gallbladder disease is a significant health burden in the developed world and its prevalence has risen by more than 20% in the past three decades In the United States, 20-25 million individuals are affected by gallbladder disease, resulting in an average annual treatment cost of $6.2 billion Obesity, diet, rapid weight loss, metabolic syndrome, and conditions such as cirrhosis, Crohn's disease, irritable bowel syndrome, and gallbladder stasis increase the risk of gallstone formation Surgical removal of the gallbladder, cholecystectomy, is the most recommended treatment for gallbladder disease; however, the procedure increases the risk of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, cirrhosis and metabolic effects
Determine differences between lithogenic and non-lithogenic bile composition.
Effectiveness of fasting or fasting-mimicking diet has been proved an effective approach to treat metabolic and autoimmune diseases in mice. However, clinical trials performing prolonged fasting with more than 7 days have not been reported. Investigators conduct an open label, phase I/II clinical trial to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of the 21-day fasting-like diet in the treatment of metabolic and autoimmune diseases.
