Gallbladder disease. Introduction. The gallbladder is a sac located under the liver. It stores and concentrates bile produced in the liver. Bile aids in the digestion of fats, and is released from the gallbladder into the upper small intestine (duodenum) in response to food, especially fats. Types of gallbladder disease include: Cholecystitis (inflammation of the gallbladder) Cholelithiasis (gallstones)
Furthermore, the number of diagnosed cases annually has not declined in nearly 20 years. Every day, 43 children are diagnosed with cancer. 12% of children diagnosed with cancer do not survive. Childrenâs cancer affects all ethnic, gender and socio-economic groups. The average age of children diagnosed is six. More than 40,000 children undergo treatment for cancer each year.
Here are the diseases that kill children around the world. Child mortality is decreasing, but 6.3 million children under the age of five still died last year. Of those deaths, 44% came in the womb, or the first 27 days of a babyâs life, according to a study published in The Lancet and conducted by Johns Hopkins. In children one month to 5 years old, pneumonia and diarrhea were the most common causes of death.
