OBJECTIVE
The purpose of this study was to determine the frequency and the spectrum of MR imaging findings of pancreatic abnormalities in patients with primary sclerosing cholangitis.
METHODS
MR images in 24 patients with primary sclerosing cholangitis were retrospectively reviewed for evidence of
OBJECTIVE
To present MR cholangiopancreatography (MRCP) findings and to determine the hepatic morphological changes of primary sclerosing cholangitis (PSC) seen on T2-weighted fast spin echo (FSE) images.
METHODS
Twenty-three patients (15 women, 8 men) with ages ranging from 17 to 80 years (median,
Infiltration is a frequent complication of infusion therapy. We previously demonstrated the usefulness of infrared thermography as an objective method of detecting infiltration in healthy people. However, whether thermography can detect infiltration in clinical settings remains unknown. Therefore,
OBJECTIVE
Histopathologic differential diagnosis of acute cellular rejection (ACR) and cholangitis continue to pose important problems following liver transplantation. The purpose of the present study was to evaluate the histopathologic features of ACR versus cholangitis.
METHODS
The following
Secondary sclerosing cholangitis (SSC) is a chronic cholestatic disorder caused by mechanical, infectious, toxic, or ischemic factors. A new variant of SSC occurring after long-term treatment in intensive care units (ICU) has been recently described and characterized from the clinical point of view.
Noninfectious obliterative cholangitis results from biliary tract inflammation in clinical conditions such as biliary atresia and sclerosing cholangitis. The purpose of this study was to develop an animal model of noninfectious biliary tract inflammation and fibrosis. An implantable osmotic pump was
The diagnosis of primary sclerosing cholangitis (PSC) is based on the characteristic cholangiographic manifestations of the condition. Surgical biopsy specimens from extrahepatic bile ducts are not diagnostic. They should be obtained only if the presence of bile duct carcinoma must be ruled out. If
METHODS
A 51-year-old woman was admitted because of relapsing episodes of fever and leg ulcers for 14 years. In addition, she had polyserositis, polyarthralgias and polyarthritides, renal failure with proteinuria and elevation of gamma-GT and alkaline phosphatase. The patient was in a reduced
A 3-year-old boy, who developed the signs and symptoms characteristic of Kawasaki disease, is described. The child also had an 8 cm tender hepatomegaly. Hydrops of the gallbladder could not be shown. Liver biopsy showed marked infiltration of inflammatory cells, including neutrophil and eosinophil
Primary biliary cholangitis (PBC) is a chronic cholestatic autoimmune disease, predominantly affecting middle-aged women that may progress to end-stage liver disease. We aimed to assess quality of life (QoL) in patients with PBC given that social, economic, and geographical factor also Primary sclerosing cholangitis (PSC) in eight children, five males and three females between the ages of 4 and 13 years, presented with minimal clinical symptoms and few signs of liver disease. Diagnosis was made by a highly characteristic histology in all and additional endoscopic retrograde
There is no consensus about the necessity and the possibility of therapy in primary sclerosing cholangitis. In some patients rapid deterioration of liver function may occur due to recurrent cholangitis and cholestasis. In one such patient, we obtained radiological evidence that the cholestasis was
Histologic, ultrastructural, chemical, and statistical methods were used to study liver biopsy and autopsy specimens from 43 patients who had primary sclerosing cholangitis (PSC), with or without chronic ulcerative colitis (CUC), and from 19 patients who had CUC without PSC. In all study groups,
