چکیده
Interesting information came from a 10-year study of necropsy findings in South East England. Female gallstone subjects had a higher BMI than controls but males did not. Gallstones were twice as common in those with diabetes. There was no association with heart disease. A third of elderly patients of both sexes had gallstones but most had not had surgery and gallstones were seldom a cause of death [4] .

متن کاملCurrent Status of Percutaneous Cholecystostomy for the Management of Cholecystitis

For most patients with acute calculous cholecystitis, surgical removal of the gallbladder is the preferred treatment optio...
