Justification for routine cholangiography during laparoscopic cholecystectomy.

Laparoscopic cholecystectomy has been accepted by surgeons in the United States with unprecedented rapidity. Since introduction it has become, in many areas, the standard of care for treating patients with cholelithiasis. However, as with all new surgical procedures, complications are being recognized. Bile duct injuries are a complication of laparoscopic cholecystectomy, perhaps with greater incidence than with traditional cholecystectomy. Routine cholangiography may minimize the incidence of common bile duct injury. We review our experience with laparoscopic cholangiography and suggest methods to avoid common bile duct injury.

Wringer injuries of extremities.

The manifestations of injuries caused by wringer washing machines were examined in 24 children with a total of 26 injured extremities. The extent of injury was almost always determined at admission and delays of four hours or more from injury resulted in longer hospitalization. The majority of the injuries were minor, but 11% of the injured limbs had skin loss necessitating skin grafting and one patient had progressive vascular compression necessitating fasciotomy. Compression was used as treatment in 23% of the cases. The standards of therapy continue to be antiseptic wound care, elevation, and early coverage of areas of skin loss. The use of compression could not be shown to be either beneficial or harmful.

Birth sequence in mice.

Succession of deliveries at parturition was determined in mice following a marker injection in utero. The data failed to refute the hypothesis of a random birth order, as delivery from either uterine horn was found to be unpredictable. In addition, significantly more females delivered the first pup from the right uterine horn, supporting the concept of a "physiological dominance" for the right side of the mouse reproductive tract.
