Acute cholecystitis:Severity assessment and managementKETAN VAGHOLKAR
This document discusses acute cholecystitis, including its etiology, clinical presentation, diagnosis, severity assessment, and treatment approaches. It provides details on evaluating the severity of acute cholecystitis using the Tokyo Guidelines, which classify it as mild, moderate, or severe based on clinical, laboratory, and imaging criteria. Treatment involves initial conservative management with antibiotics and supportive care, followed by early laparoscopic cholecystectomy within 72 hours for most patients, unless their age, comorbidities, or the severity of inflammation and organ dysfunction make surgery too risky.
Statistical analysis of risk factors associated withanamjavaid13
Gallstones are crystal like collections that formed by merging of normal and abnormal gallbladder content. Usually there are two types of gallstones exist i.e. cholesterol stones & pigment stones. The current paper focuses on symptoms of the disease, major cause for the disease and on the treatments that majority of patients preferred. For this purpose, sample of size 170 data from different hospitals in Multan is collected by using convenience sampling. Main demographic factors involved in this study are Gender, Age group, marital status for patients of GSD. Frequency distribution has been formed for these different demographic and social factors and a bar chart is constructed for differentiating between gender as gender is also an important factor in GSD. For weight factor, paired t test is applied to see the difference between before and after weight after having treatment. Findings show that 67 percent people prefer govt. hospitals because of the people suffering from this disease were from backward areas or villages & their income not meet to pay the private hospitals expense.

The objective of this study was to correlate human body weight and urine leukocytes. A complete blood cell analysis also measures the leukocytes level. In blood stream, if level of leukocytes is higher than normal it may an indication of infection. This infection may be in the bladder or in the urethral tube that carries urine from bladder. In urine, leucocytes may be due to kidney stones, pelvis tumor and any other type of blockage in urinary tract. Frequent urination, burning sensation and cloudy urine indicates leukocytes in urine. In this method, stick was dipped for few second in a sample container and then compared with the chart given. Dipstick procedure was followed and tested for the urine leukocytes. Results were analyzed by estimating the percentages of the samples. There were four different categories of body weights and also noted the readings accordingly. It was concluded that there was no significant relationship between body weight and urine leukocytes.
Medicina felina consequences of cholestasis in cats - procedingsGuillaume Michigan
1. Cholestasis disrupts the enterohepatic circulation of bile acids, leading to fat malabsorption, cytotoxic bile acid and bilirubin retention, changes to the gut microbiome, and increased intestinal permeability.
2. Preliminary studies show cholestatic cats may have coagulation abnormalities beyond vitamin K deficiency and some have inadequate adrenal reserve, particularly those with refractory hypotension.
3. Bile acids can be cytotoxic and their retention may contribute to complications in cholestatic cats like concurrent pancreatitis and gastrointestinal ulceration.
This study assessed the prevalence of metabolic syndrome in men with normal and abnormal semen parameters. Of 526 men studied, 26.5% had metabolic syndrome, higher than the general population prevalence of 18%. However, the prevalence of metabolic syndrome was not significantly different between men with normal versus abnormal semen parameters. While obesity and metabolic syndrome may impact fertility in women, this study found metabolic syndrome did not appear to have a major effect on male fertility or semen parameters. Larger longitudinal studies are still needed to understand potential effects over time.
This document summarizes a presentation on hepatomegaly (enlarged liver) and silent cholecystitis (gallbladder inflammation without symptoms) in children. It discusses risk factors for these conditions like being overweight, rapid weight changes, and family history. Laboratory tests and imaging like ultrasound and HIDA scans are used to identify fatty liver, gallstones, gallbladder sludge, and other issues. The rates of fatty liver and gallbladder disease appear to be increasing in children, associated with rising childhood obesity. Early detection is important as fatty liver can progress rapidly in children.
1) The study examined whether the phosphorylated form of the sodium chloride cotransporter (pNCC) or prostasin in urinary exosomes could serve as biomarkers for aldosteronism.
2) In animal models, aldosterone infusion and a low-sodium diet increased pNCC levels in urinary exosomes, suggesting pNCC may be a marker for aldosteronism. Prostasin levels were less consistently elevated.
3) In patients with primary aldosteronism, pNCC levels were significantly higher in urinary exosomes compared to patients with essential hypertension, while prostasin levels showed a non-significant trend upward.
This study examined the effects of consuming probiotic yogurt on serum cholesterol levels in 46 individuals with hypercholesterolemia in Shiraz, Iran. The participants were divided into two groups, with one group consuming 300g per day of probiotic yogurt containing Lactobacillus acidophilus and Bifidobacteria, and the other consuming regular yogurt, over two 6-week periods. Blood samples analyzed before and after each period found that consumption of probiotic yogurt significantly reduced LDL ("bad") cholesterol levels compared to regular yogurt. Additionally, probiotic yogurt reduced total cholesterol and increased HDL ("good") cholesterol, though not significantly. The results suggest that probiotic bacteria like L. acidophilus and Bifidobacteria can
Hypoglycaemia and improved testicular parameters in Sesamum radiatum treated ...lukeman Joseph Ade shittu
The development of a new dietary adjunct with a novel natural antioxidant impact on diabetes mellitus with prevention of its long term deleterious effect on the male fertility in general has been increasingly expressed in recent time. Hence, we aim to evaluate the effects of aqueous extract of Sesame radiatum leaves on adult male Sprague Dawley rats’ testis using unbiased stereological, biochemical and hormonal studies. Thirty adult male rats were divided into three groups of 10 rats each. The treated groups; 1 and 2 received 28.0 and 14 mg/kg bwt of aqueous extract of sesame leaves via oral garvage, respectively, while the control group received equal volume of 0.9% (w/v) normal saline per day for 6 weeks. Serum follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH), testosterone and blood glucose were assayed. In addition five microns of uniformly random transverse sections of processed testicular tissues were equally analyzed using an un-biased stereological study. The result showed that the mean percentage volume fractions (Vf) of epithelial cells and lumen of the testis were 76% (P<0.05)><0.05),>0.05) higher than the control in a dose related manner. Serum testosterone and FSH were significantly higher and lower, respectively, in the high dose sesame when compared to control. Sesame leaves intake improved glucose profile and testicular parameters in a dose related manner via possible improved insulin activity on the cells with a stimulatory impact on sperm production. This also confirmed its folkloric claims.

4 The Obesity Epidemic And Kidney Disease A Literature ReviewJanelle Martinez
This document discusses how obesity can directly and indirectly cause kidney disease. Direct effects include changes in renal hemodynamics and glomerular abnormalities found on biopsy in obese patients even without other risk factors. Adipokines released by body fat play a role by inducing inflammation and glomerular hypertension. Obesity is also associated with conditions like diabetes and hypertension that can compromise renal function. Large cohort studies show obesity is an independent risk factor for chronic kidney disease and end-stage renal disease.

Changing Incidence of Gall Stone Disease: A Single Centre Study from Eastern ...iosrjce
This study examined the changing incidence of gallstone disease among 50 patients at a hospital in eastern India from July 2012 to August 2013. The maximum incidence (28%) of gallstone disease occurred in females aged 41-50 years, which was 4 times higher than in males. Most patients (60%) were obese. After surgery, typing of the stones showed that 80% of patients had brown pigment stones, while 20% had cholesterol stones. The study concluded that gallstone disease is most common in middle-aged females, and its incidence increases from the third to fifth decades of life. Obesity and a diet high in saturated fats are strong risk factors.

Research Article Summary
Article’s Title: Higher TSH Levels Within the Normal Range Are Associated With Unexplained Infertility
Studies showed that ~10%-30% of couples that have unprotected intercourse over one year and do not succeed to conceive have unexplained or idiopathic interfertility. Hyperprolactinemia and thyroid dysfunction or thyrotropin are the known causes of infertility. Both of them are associated with irregular menstrual in women, but sometimes the normal levels of them associated with unexplained infertility, which the reasons are unknown. The main aim of this study is to compare the level of prolactin and TSH in women with normal fertility and women with unexplained infertility and with the exception of those women who have an oligospermic male partner. The treatment infertility is so expensive for couples.
The researchers hypothesized that unexplained infertility in women caused by a higher level of prolactin and TSH compare to a controlled group of women who have normal fertility, but their partners are severely oligospermic. Understanding the mechanisms that underlie unexplained infertility will help couples to have less costly treatment.
The cross-sectional studies were used to obtain the data. Researchers studied a total of 239 female patients. The female patients were between the age of eighteen and thirty-nine that were diagnosed with infertility and without any irregular menstruation. They included 187 women in this study who did not conceive over one year of unprotected intercourse (unexplained infertility group), and 52 women that their husband had oligospermia. They exclude women who had hypothyroidism and hyperthyroidism.
Even though the researchers supported their findings from previous studies, but their research was different from those earlier studies. The other studies included various factors that cause the level of TSH to be high or elevate and leads to infertility. These researchers used a strict method to ensure their findings, and the purpose of their method was to show that even a mild difference in thyroid function can cause infertility or unexplained infertility.
Thus, about 75% of the patients’ prolactin and TSH levels were measured in the laboratory of Partners HealthCare, and the rest were measured in an outside laboratory. They included only the patients that had TSH ≤5 mIU/L. These two groups of women were studied within the 13-year study period, and their characteristics were compared. The unexplained infertility group was older than the other group that their husbands had male factor problems.
The results show that the unexplained infertility group had a higher TSH level than the severe male factor even the researchers excluded the UI (unexplained infertility) group that their partners had low morphology still the results were the same. About 27% of UI group women had ≥2.5 mIU/L TSH, which twice the percentage of the severe male factor group (13% mIU/L). The data showed that the pro ...

5. INTRODUCTION
Cholelithiasis is mentioned as one of the most commonly encountered biliary
pathology. Gallstones can be divided into three main types: cholesterol,
pigment (brown/black) or mixed stones. In the USA and Europe 80% are
cholesterol or mixed stones, whereas in Asia 80% are pigment stones.
Cholesterol, which is insoluble in water, is secreted from the canalicular
membrane in phospholipid vesicles. Whether cholesterol remains in solution
depends on the concentration of phospholipids and bile acids in the bile, and
on the type of phospholipid and bile acid. When bile is supersaturated with
cholesterol or bile acid concentrations are low, unstable unilamellar
phospholipid vesicles form, from which cholesterol crystals may nucleate, and
stones may form. The process of gallstone formation is complex and many
areas remain unclear. Obesity, high-caloric diets and certain medications (e.g.
oral contraceptives) can increase secretion of cholesterol and supersaturate the
bile, increasing the lithogenicity of bile.1 A very important factor in the
development of gall stones is the stasis of biliary products, which may be an
effect of stenosis of the sphincter of Oddi, dyskinesia or stricture of the bile
duct.2,3 The disease is frequently encountered in otherwise healthy young to
middle-aged people with a prevalence being around 11-36% on the autopsy
report. The highest incidence rates of cholelithiasis in the world are
21.5/100,000 in females in Delhi.4
6. Thyroid illnesses are amongst the most commonly
encountered endocrine abnormality, only second to
diabetes. According to a projection from various studies on
thyroid disease, about 42 million people in India are
estimated to be suffering from one or the other type of
thyroid disease.5India has a prevalence of hypothyroidism
to be around 10.95%.6 Thyroid disorder could be either due
to excess or relative lack of thyroid hormones i.e.
hyperthyroidism or hypothyroidism. Hypothyroidism itself
can either be of overt hypothyroidism, in which the serum
level of thyroxine is lesser than the expected normal or
subclinical type, where serum level of thyroid hormones is
within normal level, but serum TSH is raised. Thyroid
hormones are essential for survival, being important for
regulating metabolic rate. Any abnormality in its serum
level presents with multitude of symptoms.
7. Patients having hyperthyroidism present with palpitation,
weight loss, diarrhea, warm skin, hypo-menorrhea,
nervousness, excess sweating, heat intolerance, where as
those with hypothyroidism present with cold intolerance,
skin dryness, constipation, sluggishness & weight gain. Of
particular interest to this study is deranged thyroid profile
and its association with gall stone disease. Hypothyroidism
has been shown to be an important contributor to gall stone
formation, which is brought into effect by several
mechanisms.
Hypothyroidism affects the flow of bile into intestine.7
Deranged cholesterol metabolism in hypothyroidism
leading to super saturation of bile.8
Decreased relaxation of sphincter of Oddi in
hypothyroidism.3
This present study has been designed to evaluate the
prevalence of deranged thyroid function test in patients of
different types of Gall stone disease.
8. REVIEW OF LITERATURE
The process of formation of gall bladder stones is itself a very
complex one. There can be numerous factors that can ultimately
lead to cholelithiasis in patients having hypothyroidism. The
decreased serum thyroxine levels affect the metabolism of
cholesterol and that in turn leads to the process of super
saturation. It also affects the filling of the gall bladder and
contractility of the gall bladder. This in turn leads to the
retention of cholesterol in the gall bladder and provokes the
nucleation and maturation of the gallbladder stones. The
hypothyroid state decreases the secretion of bile, leading to
precipitation and formation of the stones. It also decreases the
sphincter of Oddi's relaxing tendency, leading to further stasis of
the bile as it expresses the thyroid hormone receptors named TR
beta 1 and beta 2.9 A prospective study proved that the
subclinical hypothyroidism state also is comparatively more
among common bile duct (CBD) stone patients.10
9. Völzke et al conducted a study to investigate those associations using data of
the population-based Study of Health in Pomerania. There were 385 persons
(10.3%) with low (<0.3 mIU/L), 3 321 persons (88.6%) with normal and 43
persons (1.2%) with high serum TSH levels (>3 mIU/L). The proportion of
cholelithiasis among males and females was 14.4% and 25.3%, respectively.
Among males, there was an independent relation between high serum TSH
and cholelithiasis (OR 3.77; 95%-CI 1.06-13.41; P<0.05). Also among males,
there was a tendency towards an elevated risk of cholelithiasis in persons with
low serum TSH (OR 1.40; 95%-CI 0.96-2.02; P = 0.07). In the female
population, no such relation was identified. There is an association between
thyroid and gallstone disease with a gender-specific relation between
hypothyroidism and cholelithiasis.11
Issa et al did a study to assess the prevalence of hypothyroidism in patients
with gall stones and try to establish hypothyroidism as a possible etiological
factor for gallstones formation. Out of 232 patients of gallstone, 200 patients
were euthyroid and 32 patients were hypothyroidism, 22 patients were
diagnosed as subclinical hypothyroidism and 10 patients were diagnosed as
clinical hypothyroidism. Regarding lipid profile, 175(75.4%) of patients with
gall stone had increased lipid profile, while 57(24.6%) had normal lipid profile.
Hypothyroidism which may lead to elevation of serum lipid profile and thus
act as a cause of gall stone formation.12
10. Wang et al performed a study to investigate comprehensively the
effects of thyroid function on gallstone formation in a mouse model.
Gonadectomized gallstone-susceptible male C57BL/6 mice were
randomly distributed into three groups each of which received an
intervention to induce hyperthyroidism, hypothyroidism, or
euthyroidism. After 5 weeks of feeding a lithogenic diet of 15% (w/w)
butter fat, 1% (w/w) cholesterol, and 0.5% (w/w) cholic acid, mice were
killed for further experiments. The incidence of cholesterol
monohydrate crystal formation was 100% in mice with
hyperthyroidism, 83% in hypothyroidism, and 33% in euthyroidism,
the differences being statistically significant. Among the hepatic
lithogenic genes, Trβ was found to be up-regulated and Rxr down-
regulated in the mice with hypothyroidism. In contrast, Lxrα, Rxr, and
Cyp7α1 were up-regulated and Fxr down-regulated in the mice with
hyperthyroidism. In conclusion, thyroid dysfunction, either
hyperthyroidism or hypothyroidism, promotes the formation of
cholesterol gallstones in C57BL/6 mice. Gene expression differences
suggest that thyroid hormone disturbance leads to gallstone formation
in different ways. Hyperthyroidism induces cholesterol gallstone
formation by regulating expression of the hepatic nuclear receptor
genes such as Lxrα and Rxr, which are significant in cholesterol
metabolism pathways. However, hypothyroidism induces cholesterol
gallstone formation by promoting cholesterol biosynthesis.13
11. Singha et al conducted a study to find out the prevalence of
previously undiagnosed hypothyroidism in cholelithiasis
patients. A total of 2.2%, 5.0% and 6.6% (total 13.8%, 69 of
500) of the cholelithiasis patients were diagnosed to have
clinical, subclinical and borderline subclinical
hypothyroidism. In women older than 50 year, the
prevalence of clinical and subclinical plus borderline-
hypothyroidism was 6.8% and 25.6% (11.7%±13.9%) and
clinical plus subclinical plus borderline-subclinical
hypothyroidism was 32.4% in cholelithiasis patients.
Although a low prevalence of hypothyroidism was found in
this study, but it is evident that subclinical and borderline
subclinical hypothyroidism were significantly more
common, compared with the clinical hypothyroidism and
with increasing age there was increase in its prevalence, so
we recommend that S-TSH level should be measured for
every patient with cholelithiasis older than 50 years.14
12. Watali et al. did a study to determine association between
gallstones and hypothyroidism and to study the prevalence of
previously undiagnosed hypothyroidism in all patients of
gallstones. Both groups were comparable for age and sex of the
patients. On considering the thyroid profile of the patients in
both the groups we observed that 14% of patients were
hypothyroid in case group and 8% of the patients in control
group. On comparing the two groups, there was no statistically
significant difference in the prevalence of hypothyroidism (p
value 0.175) between the two groups. There was a significant
difference when serum cholesterol and bilirubin levels were
compared between the two groups. 7 patients out of 100
cholelithiasis had Choledocolithiasis too, these patients had
significantly raised cholesterol and deranged liver function tests.
No significant relation between gallstones and hypothyroidism
was found in this study (p value=0.175) and need further
evaluation. Among the hypothyroid patients the incidence of
gall stones was highest among 51-60 years of age so we
recommend that TSH level should be measured for every patient
with gallstone disease in this age range.15
13. Pradeep Ghimire et al. performed a study to determine the association of
gallstone disease with clinical hypothyroidism, subclinical hypothyroidism and
to treat the patient as soon as the diagnosis is made and the prevalence of
thyroid deficiency (hypothyroidism and subclinical hypothyroidism) in
gallstone diseases patients. This study shows 75% female and 25% male, age
wise minimum age was 16 and maximum age was 83.The mean age was 42.68
years. All 160 patients had gallstone in ultrasound of the abdomen without
complication. The prevalence of hypothyroidism in gallstone patient in our
study was 26.7%.16
Ghadhban et al. conducted a study to find out the prevalence and correlation
between the subclinical hypothyroidism and gall stone disease. Among 103
patients, the majority them were in 36–50 years age group, 84 (81.6%) of them
were females and 19 (18.4%) were males. Of the total number of patients, eight
of them (7.8%) found to have subclinical hypothyroidism and 95 (92.2%) of
them found to be euthyroid, most of patients in the subclinical hypothyroid
group were showing female gender predominance with 81.6%. While the
prevalence among males were found 18.4%, most patients with subclinical
hypothyroidism were found to had positive family history (75%), and (25%) of
them found to had negative family history. There is gender specific relationship
between subclinical hypothyroidism and gall stone disease as this study
sharing statistically increasing in prevalence of the subclinical hypothyroidism
among females in age group≥40 years, positive family history, and single
abdominal US gall stone. This subset of patients should be assessed for thyroid
dysfunction.8
14. Ibrahim et al did a study, the impact of thyroid stimulating
hormone (TSH) levels and thyroid dysfunction on the
pathogenesis of gallstones and their compositions. The search
results showed significant increase in the rate of pathogenesis in
female, but TSH levels is higher in male than female (p < 0.001).
And cholesterol gallstone type is predominated (p < 0.0001).
Results were stated that the thyroid dysfunction had a role in the
formation of gallstones. There is a significant association
between the gallstones and thyroid dysfunction
Recommendations: the study recommends that must handling
and treatment the thyroid dysfunction and hormonal
dysfunction especially TSH.17
Yousif et al. conducted a study to show the relation between
serum levels of thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) and
cholesterol and types of gallstone. There was a remarkable
gender difference with predominance of female gender as it
constitutes 132 (88%) versus 18 (12%) males. Abnormal high
levels of serum TSH and cholesterol were reported in 12 cases
(8%) and in 15 cases (10%) respectively. Types of gallstones, were
cholesterol stones in 95 cases (63%), pigmented stone in 33 cases
(22 %) and mixed stone in 22 cases (15%). There was relationship
between high serum levels of TSH and cholesterol with types of
gallstones.18
