AI Article Synopsis
- HIDA scan is a key imaging technique used to examine the gallbladder and the biliary tree, helping in the diagnosis of various conditions.
- Congenital biliary anomalies are uncommon and can often be mistaken for other biliary issues on a HIDA scan.
- This article aims to explore different types of congenital gallbladder and biliary anomalies, detailing how they appear on HIDA scans and discussing the usefulness of HIDA imaging for diagnosing these anomalies.
Article Abstract
Hepatobiliary iminodiacetic acid (HIDA) scan is one of the principal imaging modalities for the evaluation of the gallbladder and biliary tree. Congenital biliary anomalies are rare and can be difficult to recognize on HIDA scan. They may also mimic other biliary pathology. The purpose of this article is to review the spectrum of congenital gallbladder and biliary anomalies and describe their imaging appearance on HIDA scan. In addition, the diagnostic utility of functional imaging with HIDA when evaluating biliary tract anomalies is described.

Expression of SRY-box transcription factor 17 (Sox17) in the endodermal region caudal to the hepatic diverticulum during late gastrulation is necessary for hepato-pancreato-biliary system formation. Analysis of an allelic series of promoter-proximal mutations near the transcription start site (TSS) 2 of Sox17 has revealed that gallbladder (GB) and extrahepatic bile duct (EHBD) development is exquisitely sensitive to Sox17 expression levels. Deletion of a SOX17-binding cis-regulatory element in the TSS2 promoter impairs GB&EHBD development by reducing outgrowth of the nascent biliary bud.

Background: Gallbladder and biliary tract cancer (GBTC) increasingly aggravates the global malignancy burden. This study aimed to evaluate the updated condition of GBTC temporal burden trends and inequalities from 1990 to 2021.
Methods: Data on GBTC were extracted from the Global Burden of Disease (GBD) 2021 study.

Background: Laparoscopic cholecystectomy is a standard minimally invasive technique for the treatment in gallstone disease. In difficult laparoscopic cholecystectomies, bailout strategies have been developed of which the fundus-first technique is one. The present study aims to compare the outcomes of the fundus-first technique against the standard laparoscopic approach in managing difficult cholecystectomy cases by focusing on intraoperative factors such as bleeding, bile duct injury, operative time, and postoperative complications like biliary leakage.

Background: India has a high incidence of gallstones, which can cause chronic inflammation and increase the risk of gallbladder cancer. Understanding the age and composition of gallstones can provide insights into their formation and growth. This study used ¹⁴C dating, FTIR, and metagenome analysis to explore the natural history, deposition rate, and microbial/chemical composition of gallstones.
