Abstract

Diseases of the liver and biliary tract can be diagnosed and potentially treated by a variety of radiologic modalities and endoscopic techniques. The imaging modalities of ultrasonography, computed tomography, nuclear scintigraphy and magnetic resonance are emphasized in this article. The current status of endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography, sphincterotomy, biliary endoprostheses, cholangioscopy, endoscopic ultrasound, and laser lithotripsy is discussed.

Specific topics and complications of parenteral nutrition.

BACKGROUND/AIMS: Total parenteral nutrition (TPN) has proven a tremendous advance in all disciplines in medicine but itself introduces a spectrum of possible complications related to both the parenteral nutritional solution as well as the technique of intravenous delivery. Our aim is to review the specific complications of TPN. MATERIALS AND METHODS: This article presents a critical literature review of relevant topics in TPN-related complications-metabolic, infections, and nutrition related. RESULTS: Special emphasis focuses on complications of TPN arising from thrombosis or infectious sequelae related to the central venous catheterization and metabolic complications involving the kidneys, bones, liver, and biliary tract. CONCLUSIONS: Awareness and surveillance of TPN-related complications can prevent, potentially, some of these complications related to parenteral nutritional support.
