Acute calculous cholecystitis is caused by obstruction of the cystic duct by a gallstone, which causes inflammation of the gallbladder. Ultrasound and hepatobiliary scintigraphy are used to diagnose it by detecting thickened gallbladder walls, peri-cholecystic fluid, and lack of gallbladder filling on scans. Early laparoscopic cholecystectomy is the preferred treatment for mild cases, while more severe cases are initially treated conservatively with antibiotics and sometimes percutaneous cholecystostomy before delayed cholecystectomy.

Acalculous cholecystitis is defined as cholecystitis that occurs without a gallstone.
This typically occurs in critically ill patients due to a combination of factors (e.g. bile stasis and hypoperfusion).
Acalculous cholecystitis often goes unrecognized initially, because of intubation and sedation. This can lead to a high rate of progression to gallbladder necrosis (50%) and perforation (10%).The term “necrotizing cholecystitis” has been proposed for this disease, to emphasize its potentially malignant course
Complicated diverticular disease
Diverticulitis is the most usual clinical complication of
diverticular disease, affecting 10–25% of patients with
diverticular.
The process by which diverticulitis arises has been likened to that of appendicitis, with a diverticulum becoming obstructed by inspissated stool in its neck.
This faecalith abrades the mucosa of the sac, causing inflammation and expansion of usual bacterial flora, with
diminished venous outflow and localised ischaemia.
Bacteria may breach the mucosa and extend the process
through the full wall thickness, ultimately leading to
perforation.

We all have good and bad thoughts from time to time and situation to situation. We are bombarded daily with spiraling thoughts(both negative and positive) creating all-consuming feel , making us difficult to manage with associated suffering. Good thoughts are like our Mob Signal (Positive thought) amidst noise(negative thought) in the atmosphere. Negative thoughts like noise outweigh positive thoughts. These thoughts often create unwanted confusion, trouble, stress and frustration in our mind as well as chaos in our physical world. Negative thoughts are also known as “distorted thinking”.

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.
The Indian economy is classified into different sectors to simplify the analysis and understanding of economic activities. For Class 10, it's essential to grasp the sectors of the Indian economy, understand their characteristics, and recognize their importance. This guide will provide detailed notes on the Sectors of the Indian Economy Class 10, using specific long-tail keywords to enhance comprehension.

2. Clinical Problem
• Biliary colic develops in 1 to 4% annually, and
acute cholecystitisdevelops in about 20% of
these symptomatic patientsif they are left
untreated.
• Acute cholecystitis may coexist with
choledocholithiasis,cholangitis, or gallstone
pancreatitis.
3. Pathogenesis
• Obstruction of the cysticduct in the presence
of bile supersaturated with cholesterol.
• Brief impaction may cause pain only, but if
impaction is prolongedover many hours,
inflammation can result.
• With inflammation,the gallbladder becomes
enlarged, tense, and reddened, and wall
thickening and an exudate of peri-cholecystic
fluid may develop.
4. • Enterobacteriaceae familyor with enterococci
or anerobes occurs in the majority of patients.
• The wall of the gallbladder may undergo
necrosis and gangrene (gangrenous
cholecystitis).
• Bacterial super-infection with gas-forming
organisms may lead to gas in the wall or
lumen of the gallbladder(emphysematous
cholecystitis).
5. Diagnosis
• The main symptom of uncomplicated
cholelithiasis is biliarycolic, caused by the
obstruction of the gallbladder neck bya stone.
• The pain is characteristically episodic, severe,
andlocated in the epigastrium or RUQ.
• It frequentlyfollows food intake or comes on at
night.
• Patients commonlyhave pain that radiates into
the back, accompanied by nauseaand vomiting.
6. Diagnosis
• Murphy's sign — the arrest of inspirationwhile
palpating the gallbladder during a deep breath.
• Systemic sepsis and organ failure gangrenous
or emphysematous cholecystitis.
• Fever, elevation in the WBC and CRP.
• Elevated serum amylase level concomitant
gallstonepancreatitis or gangrenous cholecystitis.
• In elderly patients,delays in diagnosis are
common, the only symptoms maybe a change in
mental status or decreased food intake, and
physicalexamination and laboratory indexes may
be normal.
7. Imaging
• Ultrasonographydetects cholelithiasis in
about 98% of patients.
• Acute calculous cholecystitis is diagnosed
radiologically bythe concomitant presence of
thickening of the gallbladder wall( >5 mm),
peri-cholecystic fluid, or direct tenderness
when the probe is pushed against the
gallbladder (ultrasonographicMurphy's sign).
8. Ultrasonographic Images
of Three Gallbladders.
A normal, sonolucent gallbladder
(Panel A) is characterized by a
thin wall and an absence of
acoustic shadows.
In a patient with symptomatic
gallstones (Panel B), the
gallbladder contains small
echogenic objects with posterior
acoustic shadows that are typical
of gallstones (arrow), with a
normal wall thickness.
In a patient with acute calculous
cholecystitis (Panel C), thickening
is visible in the gallbladder wall
(arrow), along with a large
gallstone (arrowhead).
9. Imaging
• Hepatobiliary scintigraphy involves intravenous
injection oftechnetium-labeled analogues of
iminodiacetic acid, which areexcreted into bile.
The absence of gallbladder filling within60
minutes after the administration of tracer
indicates obstructionof the cystic duct and has a
sensitivity of 80 to 90% for acutecholecystitis.
• The "rim sign" isa blush of increased
pericholecystic radioactivity, which ispresent in
about 30% of patients with acute cholecystitis
andin about 60% with acute gangrenous
cholecystitis.
10. Hepatobiliary Scintigraphy
In Panel A, a normal liver is visible 10 minutes after the
intravenous injection of a technetium-labeled analogue of
iminodiacetic acid.
In Panel B, at 55 minutes after tracer injection, filling of the
bile duct (arrow) and gallbladder (arrowhead) can be seen.
In Panel C, at 1 hour after tracer injection in a patient with
acute cholecystitis and obstruction of the cystic duct, there is
filling of the bile duct (arrow) but no filling of the gallbladder.
14. Timing of Cholecystectomy
• Cholecystectomy can be performed by laparotomy or
by laparoscopy,either at the time of the initial attack
(early treatment) or2 to 3 months after the initial
attack has subsided (delayedtreatment).
“Early" has been variably definedas anywhere from
24 hours to 7 days after either the onset of
symptoms or the time of diagnosis.
If delayed, or "conservative,"treatment is selected,
patients are treated during the acutephase with
antibiotics and intravenous fluids and NPO.
•
•
15. • Early laparoscopic cholecystectomy is
considered the treatmentof choice for most
patients.
• The rate of conversion to open cholecystectomy
is higher whenlaparoscopic cholecystectomy is
performed for acute cholecystitisthan for
uncomplicated cholelithiasis.
• Predictors of theneed for conversion include
– WBC > 18000/mm3
– duration of symptoms of more than a range of 72 to
96 hours
– age over 60 years
16. Antibiotic Therapy
• The guidelinesof the Infectious Diseases
Society of America recommend that
antimicrobial therapy be instituted if infection
is suspectedon the basis of laboratory and
clinical findings (WBC > 12500/mm3 or
temperature > 38.5°C) and radiographic
findings (e.g., air inthe gallbladder or
gallbladder wall).
17. • Antibiotics coverage against microorganisms in
the Enterobacteriaceae family(e.g., second-
generation cephalosporin or a combination ofa
quinolone and metronidazole); activity against
enterococciis not required.
• Antibiotics are also recommended for routineuse
in patients who are elderly or have diabetes or
immunodeficiencyand for prophylaxis in patients
undergoing cholecystectomy toreduce septic
complications even when infection is not
suspected.
18. Percutaneous Cholecystostomy
• Percutaneous cholecystostomy is often used
when the patient presentswith sepsis (severe
acute cholecystitis, according to the Tokyo
guidelines) and in cases in which conservative
treatment alonefails, especially in patients
who are poor candidates for surgery.
19. Guidelines
1. Mild acute cholecystitis: early laparoscopic
cholecystectomy is recommended.
2. Moderate acute cholecystitis: either early or delayed
cholecystectomy may be selected butthat early
laparoscopic cholecystectomy should be performedonly
by a highly experienced surgeon and promptly terminated
by conversion to open cholecystostomy if operative
conditionsmake anatomical identification difficult.
3. Severe acute cholecystitis: initial conservative
management with antibiotics is recommended, preferably
in ahigh-acuity setting, with the use of percutaneous
cholecystostomyas needed; surgery is reserved for
patients in whom this treatmentfails.
