A good quality GMRS radio, or a commercial radio programmed to use GMRS frequencies, can probably get a range of about five miles or so. A good base or repeater, with a good antenna mounted high off the ground should be able to get a range of 15 to 25 miles.
âCommon bile duct is dilatedâ. Common Bile duct is part of the âplumbingâ that drains the secretion of the liver (bile) into small bowel (duodenum). The size of the common bile duct, if dilated, may suggest a blockage downstream. This is a specific finding that is looked for when a patient gets an ultrasound for a suspected liver or Gallbladder disease. When a patient has their gallbladder removed, the common bile duct dilates over some time.
Bile is also stored in the gallbladder. If the bile duct becomes blocked, the bile cannot drain normally and backs up in the liver. Signs of blocked bile ducts include jaundice (yellowing of the skin), dark urine, light stools, itching, nausea and poor appetite. This is a potentially serious condition that needs to be treated. It is possible to relieve the obstruction by inserting a fine plastic drainage tube (catheter) through the skin (percutaneous) into the obstructed bile duct, past the obstruction and into the duodenum.
