“…Although some studies have shown that the awareness among woman was poorer we however didn't note any such difference. 12 Similarly, age didn't play a significant difference in the awareness of the patients regarding the disease. Out of the 103 patients under the age of 40 years, 13 (12.62%) had good awareness while in the group of patients over the age of 40, 14 (14.43%) had good awareness.…”

Aim: To evaluate the awareness of patients presenting to a government sector hospital in Lahore with gall stones regarding their disease and factors influencing it. Methodology: A cross sectional observation study was conducted at the Department of General Surgery, Services Hospital, Lahore from 1st January 2020 to 30th June 2021. A simple questionnaire to collect and analyze the data of the patients admitted for cholecystectomy. The content of the questionnaire included socio-demographic characteristics and questions to access the awareness of patients regarding gallstones. Data was entered and analyzed using EXCEL 2013. Frequencies and Percentages were calculated as descriptive statistics whereas Fisher's exact test was conducted as inferential statistics. Value of p less than 0.05 was considered as significant. Results: Only 13.5% patients had a good awareness of their own disease. Direct education about the disease from doctor (p=0.0320), media (0.0316) or self-study (0.0001) were significantly related to awareness. Conclusion: The awareness of the patients with symptomatic gall stones regarding their own disease is poor. Role of physicians and lack of its impact on this needs to be investigated further. Keywords: Patient Awareness, gall stones

Background: In 90% of cases, the main cause of acute cholecystitis is gallbladder stones. The majority of Saudis are still unaware about Put, and there aren't enough papers in Saudi Arabia about gallstone disease knowledge. The aim of our study is to assess the awareness and knowledge of the general population of Saudi Arabia towards gallbladder stones and its risk factors. Methodology: In Saudi Arabia, an observational cross-sectional questionnaire study was done. The period runs from January 2020 through September 2021. The total number of participants in the study was 1540 Saudis. Data was collected using structured self-administered questionnaires as a study method. Data was input into excel, and then analyzed using the SPSS program. Results: There were 1540 participants in the study, with 65% of them being girls and 34.9% being males. Between the ages of 20 and 30, 47.9% of the population is between the ages of 20 and 30. Gallstones are known by 88.7% of the people in the study. A positive history of gallstones was reported by 39.9% of individuals, either directly or in a family member. Gallstones were found to cause stomach discomfort in 76.6% of cases, fever in 21.7%, pale skin in 36.7% of cases, jaundice in 36.7% of cases, exhaustion in 41.9% of cases, nausea in 40.1% of cases. Conclusion: There was a strong relationship between participants' awareness of gallbladder stones and their age, gender, and educational level. To promote awareness of the disorders, future health awareness programs and conferences are proposed.

The current research focused on detecting the role of Salmonella typhi (S. typhi) in the formation of gallbladder stones in the laboratory following isolation and diagnosis of S. typhi from bile samples of patients suffering from gallstone. Locally and for the first time, a novel continuous culture was designed, and Brilliant Green Bile Broth (BGBB) was used by adding 60% cholesterol and 20% Calcium Carbonate (CaCO3) to form the gallstone nucleation. The continuous culture was inoculated with 1% S. typhi then incubated in optimal conditions for 20 days. After 14 days of incubation, results revealed the formation of spherical aggregations with various sizes in the test flask compared to the control flask. Moreover, an increase in the size of the stone formed was observed after 20 days of incubation. The morphology of cholesterol and Calcium Carbonate crystals were studied using light, fluorescent and scanning electron microscopes, and the functional groups were diagnosed using the Fourier transform infrared spectrometry (FTIR) technique.
