Gallstones cause biliary obstruction in about 5 out of 1000 people, whereas 10 to 15% of the adult population in the United States will have gallstones at some point in their lives. Gall stones, also known as cholelithiasis, are the precursor of choledocholithiasis, which occurs when gall stones pass through the cystic duct and lodge in the common hepatic ducts, causing an obstruction. Routine labs and some specialized labs are used in the diagnosis of biliary blockage. Severe complications can happen if left unchecked such as damaging the hepatic dysfunction, renal failure, nutritional deficiencies, bleeding problems, and infections. Treatment depends on the causing effect of bile duct obstruction. Sphincterotomy with lithotripsy, choledochotomy, choledochoduodenostomy, choledochojejunostomy, or cholecystectomy are the most used for large gall stones treatment. This review looks at the prevalence, etiology and management of the disease.
Contact dermatitis (CD) is usually the result of cumulative exposure to sensitive irritants and accounts for 80% of all contact dermatitis cases. ICD can coexist with atopic dermatitis (AD) and allergic contact dermatitis (ACD). Patients with Alzheimer's disease and ACD may also have a lower infection threshold for ICD. Therefore, it must stand out from EA and CAD lesions. People with ICD have experienced uncontrolled tingling and burning sensations. Itching is typically manifested in patients with AD and ACD. Compared with AD and ACD, ICD lesions are usually well described. The prognosis of ICD is based on the exclusion method. Monitor patients to rule out type 1 and type 4 hypersensitivity reactions. A negative result indicates the prognosis of ICD. Management includes identifying and avoiding irritants through the normal use of emollients. Although ICD is older, it is not uncommon in some majors, and genetics and environment play a vital role in its development.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
