Toxic Bile Damages the Liver
Researchers at the Heidelberg University Hospital have discovered a new genetic disease that can lead to severe liver damage. Because a protective component of the bile is missing, the liver cells are exposed to the toxic components of the bile, resulting in cirrhosis of liver, a transformation of liver cells into connective tissue with a gradual... view more...

Perform non-radiation ERCP during pregnancy: Is it safe?
Hormonal changes during pregnancy increase the lithogenicity of bile and impair gallbladder emptying, which create a favorable environment for gallstone formation. view more (2009-08-12)
Type of connection procedure after pancreatic surgery influenced rate of pancreatic fistula
After surgery to remove the head of the pancreas, invagination of the pancreas into the small intestine resulted in a lower rate of pancreatic fistula. view more (2009-05-01)
Endoscopic ultrasound highly accurate in evaluating ambiguous radiographic findings of the pancreas
Researchers from St. Louis University School of Medicine in Missouri report that EUS and EUS-FNA is 99.1 percent accurate in diagnosing pancreatic neoplasms (abnormal growths or tumors) in patients who were referred for endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) because of CT and/or MRI reports of two common, though somewhat ambiguous findings - enlargement of... view more...

Bile acids, receptor key in regenerating livers
Bile must have been the most important thing in medicine for the physicians of ancient Greece and Rome. Yellow bile and black bile are half of the four humors that they believed made up the body, along with blood and phlegm. view more (2006-04-14)
Feedback loop found that could forestall liver disease
Researchers at UT Southwestern Medical Center have discovered that the small intestine communicates with the liver to control the production of bile acids-a finding that has great medical implications in treating people at risk for certain types of liver disease. view more (2005-10-12)
Transplanting human gut bugs into mice helps understanding of metabolic system
Bugs found in the guts of humans, which play an important part in people's metabolic makeup, have been transplanted into mice to further understanding of the human and animal metabolic system. view more (2007-05-22)
Study examines radiation dose estimates for pregnant women undergoing therapeutic ERCP
Pregnant women with gallstone disease may require immediate endoscopic intervention because of potentially life-threatening cholangitis (infection in the bile ducts) or gallstone pancreatitis (inflammation of the pancreas). view more (2009-04-29)
Improved DNA stool test could detect digestive cancers in multiple organs
Mayo Clinic researchers have demonstrated that a noninvasive screening test can detect not only colorectal cancer but also the common cancers above the colon -- including pancreas, stomach, biliary and esophageal cancers. view more (2009-06-02)
hus the bile does not overflow
A consequence of the different cancers of the hepatobiliary system is blocked bile ducts. However, artificial catheters known as "stents" can remediate this problem. view more (2009-05-11)
Skin rash in patients treated for liver cancer determines survival
In a study of a new chemotherapy drug for liver cancer, researchers found that the development of a skin rash correlated directly with the patient's response to treatment. view more (2006-06-05)
'2-faced' bioacids put a new face on carbon nanotube self-assembly
Nanotubes, the tiny honeycomb cylinders of carbon atoms only a few nanometers wide, are perhaps the signature material of modern engineering research, but actually trying to organize the atomic scale rods is notoriously like herding cats. view more (2009-01-14)
Genetically engineered mice don't get obese, but do develop gallstones
Obesity and gallstones often go hand in hand. But not in mice developed at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis. Even when these mice eat high-fat diets, they don't get fat, but they do develop gallstones. view more (2009-05-07)
From sci-fi to reality- microendoscopy to diagnose breast cancer?
The first clinical trial in Europe of a revolutionary approach to diagnosing breast cancer has just got under way at one of the UK's leading breast cancer centres. The research involves a minute endoscope, no thicker than a few strands of human hair, which can pass through the nipple and search for the earliest signs of cancer within the breast.... view more...

Newborn screening test could increase early detection of heart disease and save lives
Routine screening of blood oxygen levels before discharge from hospital improves the detection of life threatening congenital heart disease in newborns and may save lives, according to a study published on bmj.com today. view more (2009-01-09)
EARLY PROMISE OF NEW TECHNIQUE TO IDENTIFY BREAST CANCER
The analysis of breast-duct fluid, collected through ductal lavage (washing), could be a novel method for detecting breast-cancer cells when used in conjunction with mammography screening, conclude authors of a fast-track research letter in this week's issue of THE LANCET. If detected early, breast cancer is curable. Saraswati Sukumar and... view more... (2001-04-25)
The small cell neuroendocrine carcinoma of the ampulla of vater
Ampullary small cell neuroendocrine carcinoma is extremely rare and has only been documented in few case reports and retrospective study. The patients with ampullary small cell neuroendocrine carcinoma usually presented after the age of 60 years, and a male predilection was observed. view more (2008-09-25)
A novel method of isolating high quality RNA from Kupffer cells
Kupffer cells, resident tissue macrophages that line the liver sinusoids, play a key role in modulating inflammation in a number of experimental models of liver injury. view more (2009-04-17)
Blood stem cells fight invaders, study finds
No other stem cell is more thoroughly understood than the blood, or hematopoietic, stem cell. view more (2007-11-30)
Pancreatic Cancer Surgery Five-Year Survivors 65 and Up Live Nearly as Long As Anyone
A new study shows that pancreatic cancer patients 65 or older who live at least five years after surgery have nearly as good a chance as anyone else to live another five years. view more (2007-01-10)
