A rare right hepatic duct anatomical variant discovered after laparoscopic bile duct transection.

Laparoscopic cholecystectomy has been associated with an increased incidence of bile duct injury compared to conventional open cholecystectomy. Injuries are frequently related to surgical inexperience and biliary tract anatomical variations which may be difficult to identify during laparoscopic surgery. A case is reported in which endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) failed to define and resolve a postoperative bile leak that originated from a right anterior hepatic duct. The initial operative report as well as retrograde cholangiograms obtained percutaneously and during restorative surgery localized the site of bile leak to the right anterior hepatic duct which had inserted directly into the gallbladder. Anomalous hepatic ducts require astute surgical intraoperative evaluation to prevent surgical transection, and must be considered if ERCP fails to identify or resolve a continued biliary leak.

Death themes in literature for children ages 3-8.

Children's literature provides an appropriate tool for addressing concepts of death education. This study examined how death is presented in literature for children ages three-eight. A review of literature and Holsti's formula for intercoder reliability were used to develop a data collection instrument. Children's books with death themes were identified, and a content analysis recording frequencies for 39 items was performed on 65 books available for the study. A profile of the typical children's book with death themes was developed. The profile is discussed in terms of positive and negative presentations of death and being developmentally appropriate for young children. Based on results from the study, death themes are presented in a positive, realistic way that promote healthy development. Because of its positive presentations, children's literature is recommended as a teaching tool for death education.
