  Your gallbladder is located just underneath your liver and releases fat-digesting bile into the duodenum when you eat. There are several conditions that can affect your gallbladder, such as gallstones, acute cholecystitis, gallstone pancreatitis, and on rare occasions, gallbladder cancer. These conditions often require gallbladder surgery, which can sometimes present various side effects. Let’s take a look at what you can expect after gallbladder surgery as well as a few helpful dietary tips.  Changes In Your Body After Gallbladder Surgery The majority of gallbladder conditions are treated with a cholecystectomy (gallbladder removal). Your gallbladder is not regarded as an essential organ and people typically live a normal life after surgery. However, there are a few potential side effects that you could experience. According to the Mayo Clinic, some studies show that up to 20% of individuals report experiencing diarrhea after gallbladder surgery. This is because bile flows ...

  Crumpled raincoat-wearing ‘Columbo’ is one of the most famous TV detectives of our time; he never failed to leave us on the edge of our seats. Just when you thought the bad guy might get away with it, the cigar-smoking super sleuth would show up with just “one nagging detail” that he couldn’t let go. Throughout the 70s the show featured on prime-time television and was then shown less frequently from the late 80s right up to 2003. For years TV detectives had always been a cut above the criminal masterminds they pursued but Columbo turned that stereotype on its head as a shrewd but scruffy blue-collar homicide detective who outwitted the most influential and wealthy of criminals. The much-loved detective, who became a household name around the globe, earned actor Peter Falk four Emmy awards for his work on the show. But behind all the success and fame, there was also another side of Peter Falk. At least if we should believe authors Richard Lertzman and William Birnes, who wrote th...

Blessed with striking features and perfect bone structure, she truly won the genetic lottery, m...

  When the lights dimmed at the Dorothy Chandler Pavilion on April 9, 1979, Hollywood held its breath. Behind the curtain stood a man who had become the very definition of American heroism on screen — John Wayne. Cancer diagnosis The 1979 Oscars turned into a night to remember for so many reasons. Acceptance speeches were short and sweet, and Johnny Carson, as always, kept the show rolling with his signature humor. The big awards went to two Vietnam War films, but the heart of Hollywood that night belonged to a true legend, John Wayne. Just three months before the gala, what was supposed to be a routine gallbladder surgery turned into a grueling nine-and-a-half-hour operation for the ‘Duke’. Doctors discovered stomach cancer and removed his entire stomach. At seventy-two, he was no stranger to defying odds — he had survived lung cancer fifteen years prior, losing a lung and several ribs to the disease in 1964. And the year before, he had missed the Academy Awards recovering from op...

  When a man demanded I leave my seat because my granddaughter wouldn't stop crying, I gathered my things with tears streaming down my face. Then, a teenage boy offered me his seat in business class. What happened next made that cruel man's face go completely white. I'm 65 years old, and for the past year, my life has been nothing but a blur of grief, sleepless nights, and endless worry. My daughter passed away shortly after giving birth to her little girl. She fought so hard during delivery, but her body simply gave out. In a matter of hours, I went from being the mother of a healthy adult daughter to the sole guardian of her newborn child. What made everything even worse was what happened immediately after. My daughter's husband, the baby's father, couldn't handle it. I watched him hold his daughter once in the hospital. He stared down at her tiny face, whispered something I couldn't hear, and then gently placed her back in the bassinet. His hands were sha...

  While visible veins may be cosmetically unappealing, their appearance is usually not a cause for concern. Activities like exercise, skin tone, exposure to the sun, tight clothing and hot temperatures can cause bulging veins. Aging, genetics, and being overweight may also contribute to veins being more noticeable. These enlarged, twisted veins appear prominently beneath the skin surface, particularly on the legs and feet. However, more uncommonly, bulging veins could be an indication of a serious health condition like blood clots. If you have visible veins with severe discolouration that cause discomfort, consult a health professional.  Understanding What Causes Bulging Veins Veins are blood vessels responsible for the transportation of deoxygenated blood back to the heart. Bulging veins develop when blood pools in weakened or damaged veins instead of flowing efficiently back to the heart. The circulatory system relies on one-way valves within veins to prevent blood from flow...
