The surgeons were trained in detecting the following disease states: gallbladder stones, cholecystitis, wide bile ducts, hydronephrosis, abdominal aortic aneurysms, ovarial cysts, free abdominal fluid, pleura fluid collections, large abdominal masses, inflamed appendix, diverticulitis, intestinal obstruction, liver disease and large kidney stones.

Based on these findings, even though the SpyGlass Direct Visualization system has a 4-way angled system, it has limited front-viewing control in severe cases of MPD stricture compared with that in the wider common bile duct [ 13].
Similarly, the liver steatosis and the pathologies we observed in hepatocytes (fragmented and swollen ER, smaller mitochondria with denser matrices and wider cristae, disrupted bile canaliculi and debris-laden lysosome accumulation) could also be caused by general ER stress in addition to disrupted protein trafficking.
The range of affected compounds is wide and includes lipids, bile salts, drugs, and toxic and environmental agents, which are transported against the concentration gradient across the cell or organelle(1155) membranes, using ATP hydrolysis as the driving force.
Physiologically, they play an important role in cell survival by exporting a wide range of substrates, including bile salts, antimicrobial drugs, and solvents [ 18- 20].
CA 19-9 currently is in wide use, particularly for detecting bile duct cancer in patients with primary sclerosing cholangitis (PSC) (Nichols et al, 1993; Ramage et al, 1995; Bergquist et al, 1998; Chalasani et al, 2000).
Here we use this technique to perform a genome-wide identification of genes involved in bile salt resistance in E. faecium.
Oval cells, putative hepatic stem cells, can differentiate into a wide range of cell types including hepatocytes, bile epithelial cells, pancreatic cells and intestinal epithelial cells.
Cholestatic liver diseases encompass a wide spectrum of disorders with different causes, resulting in impaired bile flow and accumulation of bile acids and other potentially hepatotoxic cholephils.
There is a wide variation in the reported diagnostic yield of bile duct brush cytology in PSC strictures.
