Magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography (MRCP) is recommended if ultrasound has not detected ductal stones but the bile duct is dilated and/or liver function test results are abnormal, with endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) typically reserved for patients in whom MRCP does not allow for a diagnosis ...
The pathophysiological mechanism for the rim sign is explained by severe local inflammation in the liver adjacent to the gallbladder. In severe acute cholecystitis, the gallbladder inflammatory process may spread directly to the adjacent normal liver, which results in increased blood flow to that regi...
For O1 Ogawa, GMT was 419.64 (Test group), 387.22 (Comparator group) with GMR 1.12 (95% CI: 1.02, 1.23). Cholvax was safe and non-inferior to Shanchol in terms of immunogenicity in the different age groups. These results support public use of Cholvax to contribute for reduction of ...
The contradictive results of extracellular ATP on the AE activity, forskolin and CFTR inhibitor on the AE activity observed in the current study may be explained by the imbalance of the reaction caused by the extracellular ATP stimulation, such as the Ca2 þ release from the ER, which leads ...
Categorical variables were compared using the Chi-square test of independence or Fisher's exact test. Continuous variables were compared using T-tests or the Mann-Whitney-U test.Results A total of 5755 ERCP's were performed between 8 AM 鈥 6 PM; 2863 were performed before 12PM (AM group...
Results Establishment of a Scalable 3D Suspension System for Hepatic Differentiation from hEnSCs To overcome the shortcomings of the hPSCs, hEnSCs were chosen as the starting material for large-scale generation of hepatic cells. Single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) analysis revealed that the transc...
The number of animals (n) used for each treatment or as controls was four to five, and is specified in Results for each experiment. The statistical difference was calculated by using the t-test, and was considered significant when P < 0.05. When multiple groups of animals were compared, ...
3. Results 3.1. Index Hospitalization Characteristics Between 2016 and 2020, 885,416 index admissions were identified to have undergone ERCP. Of the index admissions, 520,302 (58.76%) had low frailty, 343,781 (38.83%) had intermediate frailty, and 21,332 (2.41%) had high frailty. As expect...
