Filter by:Recurrent acute pancreatitis (RAP) was defined as two or more occurrences of acute pancreatitis, which was associated with higher percentages of morbidities and mortalities, lower patients' life quality and increased health-care costs. Current interventions, including cholecystectomy and abstain from drinking were reported to be effective methods for preventing the recurrences of biliary and alcoholic etiologies, respectively. However, there were no effective preventions for other etiologies, such as idiopathic etiologies. Non-steroid anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), including indomethacin, diclofenac and aspirin could inhibiting the inflammatory cascade of pancreatitis. In this study, we aimed at exploring the effects of 100mg aspirin on reducing the occurrences of recurrent acute pancreatitis.
Acute pancreatitis is one of the most common gastrointestinal disorders requiring hospitalization worldwide. Pancreatic fluid collections can occur as a consequence of acute and chronic pancreatitis and can result in significant morbidity and mortality, including significant abdominal pain, gastric outlet obstruction, biliary obstruction, organ failure, persistent unwellness, infection and sepsis. Symptomatic pancreatic fluid collections require treatment, and endoscopic drainage is considered standard of care. The aim of this study is to evaluate the treatment outcomes in patients undergoing standard of care, endoscopic treatment of pancreatic fluid collections.
The aim of this randomized trial is to assess the efficacy of EUS-CPB in the alleviation of abdominal pain in patients with chronic pancreatitis.
Recent evidence suggests that postoperative hyperamylasemia (POH) is a predictor of morbidity after pancreatectomy. This is based on the assumption that pancreatitis after pancreatectomy (PPAP) is a major trigger for the development of complications and is indicated by hyperamylasemia. Standardized prospective analysis and correlation with other laboratory parameters, hasn't been performed to date. Therefore the overall study aims are: - To prospectively evaluate the incidence and assess the clinical value of biochemical changes for the postoperative course. - To confirm and improve the definition and classification of postpancreatectomy acute pancreatitis (PPAP) of the International Study Group of Pancreatic Surgery (ISGPS) and to provide knowledge for effective early management of complications.
The challenges of living with type 1 diabetes often stand in the way of getting enough exercise. Continuous blood sugar monitoring has revolutionized type 1 diabetes care but remains underutilized to sustainably support exercise and related behaviors. This research will develop a mobile application that delivers personalized encouragement and data-driven health insights based upon patterns in blood sugar, exercise, mood, and sleep, to assist people with type 1 diabetes in exercising more frequently and confidently.
Sarcopenia is a complex multifactorial syndrome which could be present in older age (primary sarcopenia) or earlier in chronic disease (secondary sarcopenia). Evidence of the prevalence and incidence of sarcopenia in chronic pancreatitis is lacking, as well as studies which correlate sarcopenia to evolution of chronic pancreatitis.The main aim of this study is to evaluate whole body composition, sarcopenia, dynamic force tests, laboratory data at different stages of chronic pancreatitis. The accuracy of bioimpedance analysis and muscle ultrasound in the diagnosis of sarcopenia will also be assessed.
The goal of this clinical trial is to test the safety and effectiveness of a single dose of RABI-767 given by endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) guided peripancreatic injection in participants with predicted severe acute pancreatitis. The main question the study aims to answer is: • Is a single-dose of RABI-767 given by EUS-guided peripancreatic injection safe in patients with predicted severe acute pancreatitis. The study also aims to answer: • Is a single-dose of RABI-767 given by EUS-guided peripancreatic injection effective in treating patients with predicted severe acute pancreatitis. Study participants will be randomly assigned (like the flip of a coin) to receive a single dose of RABI-767 plus supportive care or supportive care only. The study sponsor will compare safety and efficacy data collected from participants who receive RABI-767 to participants who receive supportive care only to test if RABI-767 is safe and effective.
Nausea and vomiting are one of the most common symptoms in acute pancreatitis. In addition to pharmacological methods for nausea and vomiting, non-pharmacological methods can also be used. Among these, anticipatory nausea and vomiting can be prevented by behaviors aimed at distracting attention. This study will be conducted to evaluate the effect of chewing gum on the severity of nausea-vomiting and thirst in patients with acute pancreatitis. The study will be conducted with a total of 60 patients, 30 intervention and 30 control. Patients in the intervention group will chew xylitol gum five times a day for three days. The patients' thirst and nausea and vomiting conditions will be examined.
The main reason for this research study is to find out more about acute recurrent pancreatitis and chronic pancreatitis in children. There are few studies on childhood pancreatitis, so diagnosis and treatment are based on adult studies. This limits our understanding and treatment of these disorders in children. Endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) is a tool used to assess and diagnose pancreatic disease. We can use ultrasound with shear wave elastography (SWE) to measure fibrosis (scarring) of the pancreas. We can use SWE on both EUS and transabdominal ultrasound (TUS) systems. Both TUS and EUS SWE have been studied for diagnosis of chronic pancreatitis in adult patients, however they have not been studied in children. We plan to use EUS SWE and TUS SWE information in this study to help us understand pancreatitis in children. Children with pancreatitis and children without pancreatitis (controls) will be invited to participate in this study.
This is a prospective cohort study. The investigators enroll subjects with pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC), individuals at high risk for PDAC, patients with other pancreatic diseases, patients with CA19-9 elevation and controls without pancreatic disease. This study aims to establish a diagnostic prediction model by using elastase 1, common clinical serological examinations, and imaging examinations including endoscopic ultrasonography (EUS), and to explore the diagnostic ability of the model in the high-risk population of PDAC. Besides, the investigators search for new biomarkers by multi-omics studies of serum and pancreatic tissues to further improve the diagnostic performance of this model. In conclusion, this study seeks a robust diagnostic prediction model to diagnose PDAC, especially early resectable PDAC.
