Open article record in new tab ↗The new dumbbell-shaped, covered self-expanding metallic stent can efficiently remove the choledocholiths in cases with common bile duct (CBD) strictures; moreover, it may potentially prevent a positional displacement and contribute to the better improvement of the CBD stricture.
Open article record in new tab ↗Acute fulminant liver failure and acute renal failure are devastating complications caused by many drugs. The use of N-acetylcysteine has been well established in acetaminophen toxicity, but it remains controversial in other cases. Dialysis is a very effective method of removing certain drugs from the system. With the invention of new street drugs such as "synthetic marijuana," it may be beneficial in patients who…
