Abstract

We present a unique case of jaundice in pregnancy, secondary to common bile duct obstruction by an unusual internal colonic hernia. We also illustrate the benefits of using non-ionizing imaging modalities in the diagnosis and pre-operative planning of this rare condition.

WHO estimates that half of all patients worldwide are non-adherent to their prescribed medication. The consequences of poor adherence can be catastrophic, on both the individual and population level.

Join our expert panel to discover why you need to understand the drivers of non-adherence in your patients, and how you can optimize medication adherence in your clinics to drastically improve patient outcomes.
