One important result of lake and reservoir enrichment is increased growth of microscopic floating plants, algae, and the formation of dense mats of larger floating plants such as water hyacinths (Photos 1 and 2) and Nile cabbage.
What is percutaneous biliary drainage? Percutaneous transhepatic biliary drainage is a procedure where a small, flexible, plastic tube is placed through the skin into the liver in order to drain an obstructed bile duct system. The liver produces bile which aids digestion of fats.
The function of the common bile duct is to carry bile from the liver and the gallbladder into the duodenum, the top of the small intestine directly after the stomach. The bile it carries interacts with ingested fats and fat-soluble vitamins to enable them to be absorbed by the intestine.
