Argyria Argyria or argyrosis is a condition caused by excessive exposure to chemical compounds of the element silver, or to silver dust. The most dramatic symptom of argyria is that the skin turns purple or purple-grey. It may take the form of generalized argyria or local argyria. Generalized argyria affects large areas over much of the visible surface of the body. Local argyria shows in limited regions of the body, such as patches of skin, parts of the mucous membrane or the conjunctiva. The terms argy

Congenital Malformations of the Gastrointestinal Tract Intestinal atresias. Intestinal atresias are malformations of the intestines in which a segment of bowel is very narrow or is disconnected from the rest of the GI tract. Most commonly, these occur in or near the duodenum, just below the stomach.

Tricuspid atresia | Symptoms | Diagnosis | Treatment | Postoperative care | Home care | Long-term outlook. Tricuspid atresia (TA) is a congenital (present at birth) heart defect that occurs due to abnormal development of the fetal heart during the first 8 weeks of pregnancy.The tricuspid valve, normally located between the right atrium and the right ventricle, does not develop properly during pregnancy.n tricuspid atresia, however, the following occurs: 1  Improper development of the tricuspid valve prevents oxygen-poor (blue) blood from passing from the right atrium to the right ventricle and on to the lungs as it should. 2  The right ventricle is also underdeveloped.

Therefore, there is an absence of right atrioventricular connection. This leads to a hypoplastic or absent right ventricle.

Endoscopic Biliary Stenting WHAT YOU SHOULD KNOW: Endoscopic biliary stenting is a procedure done to open your blocked bile duct (tube). During the procedure, a stent is placed into your blocked bile duct. A stent is a small plastic or metal tube that is used to keep your bile duct open. Bile (fluid from your liver) helps you digest fat and other foods that you eat.

Biliary Duct Obstruction Overview. A biliary obstruction is a blockage of the bile ducts. The bile ducts carry bile from the liver and gallbladder through the pancreas to the small intestine (the duodenum). Bile is a dark-green or yellowish-brown fluid secreted by the liver to digest fats. Much of the bile is released directly into the small intestine, but what remains is stored in the gallbladder.

Biliary reflux From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia. Biliary reflux, bile reflux or duodenogastric reflux is a condition that occurs when bile flows upward (refluxes) from the duodenum into the stomach and esophagus. Biliary reflux can be confused with acid reflux, also known as gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD).While bile reflux involves fluid from the small intestine flowing into the stomach and esophagus, acid reflux is backflow of stomach acid into the esophagus.These conditions are often related, and differentiating between the two can be difficult.rom Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.

Biliary Atresia In babies with biliary atresia, the abnormal or scarred bile ducts keep bile from flowing out of the liver. Instead, bile backs up in the liver. Backed-up bile (congestion) in the liver is called cholestasis. It causes scarring (cirrhosis) and jaundice, or a yellowish tint to the skin and eyes.

Facts about Pulmonary Atresia Pulmonary atresia is when this valve didn’t form at all, and no blood can go from the right ventricle of the heart out to the lungs. Because a baby with pulmonary atresia may need surgery or other procedures soon after birth, this birth defect is considered a critical congenital heart defect (critical CHD).

cholangiography Cholangiography is the x-ray examination of the bile ducts (biliary tract) after administration of a contrast dye to delineate these channels on the images. The procedure may be performed either during gallbladder removal surgery (operative cholangiography) or postoperatively (T-tube cholangiography).
