Filter by:This study is an ancillary of APPRENTICE. This will be the international based study.
The management of acute pancreatitis is mainly based on expert opinions; large randomized controlled trials are missing and novel therapeutic approaches are considered necessary. This study will evaluate the current management and outcomes of acute pancreatitis around the world.
This is a prospective case control study that compares the initial immune response with severity and outcome in patients with acute pancreatitis.
This study plans to directly address the problem of post-ERCP pancreatitis to gauge the various factors involved in its development and genetic variability in the immune response to an isolated pancreatic insult. In addition, the investigators hope to study markers of the early immune response to this injury and to develop a risk-assessment model.
AIM: To compare pain relief in patients randomly assigned to endoscopic ultrasound-guided celiac ganglia block (EUS-CGB) vs standard endoscopic ultrasound-guided celiac plexus block (EUS-CPB). METHODS: This is a single-center, double-blind, randomized parallel-group study to assess the efficacy of EUS-CPB vs. EUS-CGB in patients with painful chronic pancreatitis.
The study aims to assess and analyze some selected antioxidants and laboratory parameters during hospitalization of the patients with acute pancreatitis. It will allow to better understanding of the mechanisms of disease and the development of better diagnostic, treatment and monitoring. It is an observational diagnostic study and does not involve any additional administration of medicinal substances, modification of treatment or dropping the use of routine methods of treatment of a disease. The study procedure includes detailed personal medical history as separate document like as a routine medical interview, and three times taking a small amount of venous blood (together about 15 ml), in the first, third, and seventh day of hospitalization (in the case of longer hospital treatment).
- The investigators evaluated the role of allopurinol in prevention of post-ERCP pancreatitis. - 100 Egyptian patients who were candidates for ERCP were included and divided into two groups. Group 1 (study group) included 50 patients who received two doses of allopurinol 300 mg each, 15 hours and 3 hours before ERCP and Group 2 (control group) included 50 patients who did not receive allopurinol prophylaxis.
Primary objective: To describe and compare the safety and efficacy of treatment with AAT in chronic pancreatitis patients who undergo total pancreatectomy and islet autotransplantation (TP-IAT).
This is a pilot study to investigate the effect of prehabilitation on patients undergoing elective surgery for pancreatic disease.
Pancreatitis remains the most common complication of ERCP, with the reported incidence ranging from 2% to 9%. Although 80% of cases are mild, a significant number of patients may develop severe pancreatitis, that means additional morbidity and risk for death. ERCP, despite the development of new diagnostic tools, remains a widely used procedure, so post-ERCP pancreatitis is a problem with significant impact. Several studies and meta-analyses helped us to recognize special factors that put an individual in high risk for the development of post-ERCP pancreatitis. Among these factors special interest presents the history of post-ERCP pancreatitis as an independent risk factor for a new episode of post-ERCP pancreatitis. It seems that some individuals have a genetically predisposed susceptibility in this particular complication. The aim of the present study is to investigate the possible genetic variation associated with post-ERCP pancreatitis using whole genome sequencing.
