About 2% of standard cholecystectomies involve it. A very uncommon form of chronic cholecystitis is follicular cholecystitis.

Hepatitis B virus (HBV) is a virus that may lead to chronic infection of the liver. Once infected, HBV may stay in the blood and liver for a lifetime. HBV is a non-retro virus that infects hepatocytes, with an underlying mechanism of converting its relaxed circular DNA (rcDNA), into closed circular DNA (cccDNA). The cccDNA then serves as a transcription template to transcribe viral RNAs utilizing the transcription factors meant for the host system's transcription....

The manual peripheral blood smear examination is a comprehensive examination of the blood film to detect clinically significant abnormalities in leukocyte, erythrocyte, and platelet morphology. It is a time-consuming technique, but it is a more cost-effective and sensitive technique than an automated hematological analyzer. On the other hand, the automated hematology analyzer is faster, more objective, and reduces labor cost but cannot reveal the variety of abnormal cells. ...
