Formation of bile calculi in the common bile duct is a rare event in early infancy. The following article describes the case of a 20-week-old infant with anal atresia and a deep rectovaginal fistula who presented with recurrent jaundice due to a single calculus in the common bile duct that led to intermittent obstruction of the papilla Vateri. Diagnosis was proven by endoscopically performed retrograde cholangiography and the concretion was successfully removed after transduodenal papillotomy using a Dormia basket.

Unlabelled: Members of the gut microbiome encounter a barrage of host- and microbe-derived microbiocidal factors that must be overcome to maintain fitness in the intestine. The long-term stability of many gut microbiome strains within the microbiome suggests the existence of strain-specific strategies that have evolved to foster resilience to such insults. Despite this, little is known about the mechanisms that mediate this resistance.

Cognitive dysfunction is common in major depressive disorder (MDD), but whether bile acids impact these networks in MDD patients is unknown.
Methods: Resting state functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) scans and blood measures of four bile acids from 74 treatment-naïve adults with MDD were analyzed.

Background: Hepatocellular Carcinoma (HCC) and cholangiocellular adenocarcinoma (CCA) are the most common primary liver tumors representing a major global health burden. In early disease stages, tumor resection may provide long-term survival in selected patients. However, morbidity and mortality rates are still relatively high after extended liver surgery with perioperative bacterial infections representing major complications.

Background: Neuroendocrine liver metastases (NELM) significantly reduce survival in patients with neuroendocrine tumor. The management of NELM is challenged by a low rate of resectability and a high rate of recurrence. Indocyanine green (ICG) fluorescence imaging offers potential advantages in real-time tumor visualization and margin assessment.
