The causes of obstruction included gallbladder sludge (n=1), a duodenal hematoma (n=1), choledocholithiasis with biliary pancreatitis (n=1), bile duct infection (n=2), recurrent malignancy (n=1), choledocholithiasis associated with a benign stricture (n=1), Epstein-Barr virus-related ...

Urinary Bladder CalculiWe studied the mechanism of gallbladder sludge formation in guinea pigs ( n = 30) treated with lincomycin (80 mg/kg/day) for 7 consecutive days. At sacrifice (day 8) gallbladders of treated animals contained turbid bile, sludge and in one animal a single gallstone. ...
3. To understand the clues for differential diagnosis of echogenic lesions replacing the gallbladder lumen. Background Intraluminal echogenic lesions of the gallbladder represent gallstone, biliary sludge, hematoma, pus, necrotic debris, polyp, tumors and gas. In the case of small intraluminal ...
