Diseases of the Liver and Gallbladder01:26

Diseases of the Liver and Gallbladder

976
Liver and gallbladder diseases are a significant health concern, with prominent conditions including cirrhosis, hepatitis, non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), and gallstones. Jaundice is a common manifestation of liver and biliary disease.
Cirrhosis is characterized by the scarring of hepatic lobules in the liver, which are replaced by fibrous tissue, affecting the liver's normal functioning. NAFLD, on the other hand, is caused by an excessive build-up of fat in the liver, not...

Liver Physiology01:30

Liver Physiology

1.2K
The liver, an essential organ in the human body, performs over 200 vital functions that can be broadly categorized into metabolic, hematological, endocrine regulation, and bile production.
Metabolic Regulation:
The liver is the central organ involved in regulating blood composition. It stabilizes blood glucose levels, maintaining them within the range of  70–110 mg/dL. When these levels drop, the liver breaks down glycogen reserves and releases glucose into the bloodstream. It can...

Hepatic Drug Excretion: Influencing Factors01:16

Hepatic Drug Excretion: Influencing Factors

216
The biliary system of the liver, crucial for bile secretion and drug excretion, comprises intrahepatic bile ducts that merge to form the common hepatic duct. This duct, carrying hepatic bile, combines with the cystic duct, draining the gallbladder and forming the common bile duct, which empties into the duodenum. Bile, produced by hepatic cells lining the bile canaliculi, is composed primarily of water, bile salts, pigments, electrolytes, and lesser amounts of cholesterol and fatty acids. Bile...

Chronic Pancreatitis I: Introduction

148
The pancreas, an elongated and flat gland situated behind the stomach, serves a vital function in digesting food and managing blood sugar levels.
Pancreatitis is the inflammation of the pancreas, which occurs when the immune system becomes active and causes swelling, pain, and disruptions in organ function. Pancreatitis can manifest as either an acute or chronic condition.
Acute pancreatitis arises suddenly and lasts for a brief duration, while chronic pancreatitis is a long-term affliction...

Microorganisms play a fundamental role in vaccine development, gene therapy, and therapeutic production. Their biological properties are harnessed to advance medicine and public health. Beyond immunization, microorganisms contribute to gut health, antibiotic synthesis, and genetic disease treatment.Live Attenuated and Inactivated VaccinesLive attenuated vaccines, such as the measles, mumps, and rubella (MMR) vaccine, utilize weakened forms of pathogens to closely resemble natural infections.

Area of Science:

  • Hepatology
  • Gastroenterology
  • Medical Technology

Background:

  • Endoscopic procedures are vital for liver disease management, historically focusing on luminal interventions like variceal band ligation.
  • The advent of endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) has significantly broadened the scope of endoscopic interventions.
  • This expansion has led to the development of a specialized field integrating EUS into hepatology.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the current landscape of endoscopic hepatology (endohepatology).
  • To highlight established practices, recent technological advancements, and future directions in endohepatology.
  • To emphasize the revolutionary impact of endohepatology on patient care.

Main Methods:

  • Review of established and emerging endoscopic ultrasound-based diagnostic and therapeutic techniques in hepatology.
  • Integration of these techniques into a comprehensive hepatology practice.
  • Focus on streamlining patient care through combined procedures.

Main Results:

  • Endohepatology offers a streamlined, comprehensive approach to liver disease management.
  • It enhances treatment efficacy, reduces resource utilization, and improves patient satisfaction.
  • Patients benefit from undergoing multiple procedures, such as variceal surveillance and EUS-guided liver biopsy, in a single session.

Conclusions:

  • Endohepatology represents a significant advancement in the multidisciplinary care of patients with liver disease.
  • The integration of EUS enhances diagnostic accuracy and therapeutic capabilities.
  • Future directions promise further innovation and improved patient outcomes in liver disease management.
