Filter by:Study objective: To describe the microflora characteristics of the pancreatic solid lesions via the tissue acquired via the endoscopic ultrasound-guided fine needle aspiration/biopsy (EUS-FNA/B). Study design: This is a prospective observational study.
To compare the risk of acute pancreatitis in patients with Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) newly initiating empagliflozin to that of patients newly initiating other oral non-incretin/non-Sodium glucose co-transporter-2 inhibitor (SGLT2i)-containing hypoglycemic agents.
The most common cause of acute pancreatitis is gallstones. It is known that diet and obesity play a role in the formation of gallstones. It has been reported that the risk of gallstone formation is two times higher in obese individuals with a body mass index (BMI) >30 than in normal-weight individuals with a BMI between 20-25. The epidemiological literature on the relationship between diet and risk of acute pancreatitis is very limited. In addition, it is often unclear which type (acute, recurrent, or chronic) and subtype (gallstone-related or non-gallstone-related) of acute pancreatitis is studied in studies. Although there are studies in the literature evaluating the relationship between diet and development of gallstones or the development of pancreatitis with diet, studies examining the role of diet in the development of pancreatitis in patients with gallstones are very limited. In this study, we aimed to investigate the dietary differences in patients with gallstones who had pancreatitis and those who did not.
Assessment of qualitative and quantitative composition of the intestinal microbiota in patients with CP; in patients with CP and PEI complication of mild to severe degree; patients with CP and PEI who underwent surgical intervention on the pancreas. Intergroup comparison of the microbial compositional characteristics and their analysis. Correction of enzyme replacement therapy in selected groups of patients with regard to the identified microbial characteristics. Assessment of the intestinal microbiota composition in dynamics after 6 (+1) months on the background of allocated therapy
Pancreatico-duodenectomy is one of the commonly performed procedure for periampullary/distal cholangio/head of pancreas carcinoma. Post operative pancreatitis is an emerging concept, recently being studied as one of the most important contributing factor of Post-operative pancreatic fistula, which is one of the major complication of pancreatoduodenectomy. Rectal indomethacin, a type of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug, when given in a single dose has been shown to prevent pancreatitis in patients undergoing ERCP. In this study, we will be administering rectal indomethacin at the time of induction of anesthesia to the experimental arm of the study and compare the results in terms of incidence of post-operative pancreatitis in the two groups.
Acute pancreatitis (AP) is a one of the potentially life-threatening complication of severe hypertriglyceridemia (HTG), with mortality around to 30%. HTG-associated PA and their complications management has to be the same as the other pancreatitis, but they are associated with the worse clinical outcomes. Triglycerides levels are correlated with the risk of pancreatitis and severity. Therapeutic plasma exchange (TPE) could provide positive effects in reducing triglyceridemia plasma levels during the acute phase of HTG-AP, and in prevention of recurrence. There is currently no difference about mortality in studies. Some authors have recommended its use only in severe HTG-AP and have precised the need of early initiation to have positive results. Despite such promising findings from studies, the effects of therapeutic plasma exchange on HTG-associated PA have never been specifically assessed and its benefits in critically ill patients with AP remains uncertain.
Exocrine pancreatic insufficiency (EPI) is a condition that is caused by the inadequate pancreatic enzymes needed for normal digestion and is commonly associated with a wide range of chronic diseases, including cystic fibrosis (CF), chronic pancreatitis (CP), and pancreatic cancer. This study will assess clinical symptoms when participants with CF or CP are treated with Creon with alternate source of active drug. Creon is an approved drug for the treatment of EPI due to CF or CP. This study is subject-blinded which means participants will not know the source of the study drug they are given. Approximately 30 adult participants with CF or CP will be enrolled at approximately 15 sites across the Unites States. Participants will receive oral capsules of CREON for 112 days and will be followed for 30 days. Participants will attend regular visits during the study at a hospital or clinic or via telemedicine. The effect of the treatment will be checked by medical assessments, checking for side effects and completing questionnaires.
The objective of this study is to evaluate the use of the ABTHERA ADVANCE for patients requiring open abdomen due to necrotizing pancreatitis. The institutions traditional approach is to use the ABTHERA Open Abdomen dressing with Wittmann patch. However, the ABTHERA ADVANCE has shown in vitro to have improved tension on the abdominal wall that may obviate the need for costly Wittmann patch placement.
Exocrine Pancreatic Insufficiency (EPI) is a condition where pancreatic enzyme quantity or activity is reduced below threshold needed for normal digestion. Symptoms include bloating, flatulence, diarrhea and steatorrhea. This is an observational study assessing for effect of CREON on symptoms of EPI in participants with EPI due to chronic pancreatitis.
The occurrence of post-pancreatectomy acute pancreatitis (PPAP) can critically impact outcomes after pancreaticoduodenectomy. Although diagnosing a PPAP can be challenging, its identification appears crucial as it can trigger additional morbidity. However, due to the early onset in the perioperative period, the actual spectrum of its early phases has not been systematically explored yet. For this reason, the present study will compare some early biochemical evidence of pancreatic stump damage to morphological changes evident at postoperative imaging. The postoperative evaluation of serum and/or urine pancreatic enzymes and the radiologic assessment are included in everyday clinical practice. However, the timing and the clinical relevance of such findings mostly rely on the single-institution experience. This study aims to characterize PPAP by investigating its early radiologic, biochemical, and clinical spectrum of either local or systemic changes associated.
