Filter by:The purpose of the study is to determine whether rectal indomethacin reduces the incidence of post-ESWL pancreatitis.
The purpose of this study is to compare the incidence of post-ERCP pancreatitis (PEP) in chronic pancreatitis (CP) patients to that in biliary disease patients, to determine whether CP patients in early clinical stage have a higher PEP incidence, and to identify the predictive and protective factors for PEP in chronic pancreatitis patients.
This randomized phase II trial studies how well simvastatin works in reducing pancreatitis (the inflammation of the pancreas) in patients with pancreatitis that occurs more than once (recurrent), has worsened quickly (acute), or has persisted or progressed over a long period of time (chronic). Simvastatin may decrease the inflammation of the pancreas by modulating the immune response responsible for inflammation. It is not yet known if simvastatin may be an effective treatment for pancreatitis.
Post-endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography(ERCP) pancreatitis (PEP)remains the most frequent adverse event of ERCP. Rectal indomethacin, as one kind of classic NSAIDs, has been proved to be effective in reducing the incidence of PEP. It has been widely used to prevent PEP in patients, especially those with potentially high risks of PEP. However, rectal indomethacin can not completely eradicate the occurrence of PEP. The rate of PEP in patients receiving indomethacin ranges from 3.2% to 9.2%. The risk factors of PEP in patients receiving rectal indomethacin remains unclear. The aim of the study was to identify potential risk factors in high-risk patients whose received administration of prophylactic rectal indomethacin after ERCP.
Among persons with Immunoglobulin G subclass 4 Related Disease (IgG4)-related disease who have persistent or recurrent disease despite standard therapies, does combination therapy with rituximab and revlimid cause a sustained disease remission?
The purpose of this study is to determine the safety and efficacy of NI-03.
This is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled pilot trial seeking to evaluate the efficacy of rectal indomethacin in abrogating systemic inflammation and subsequently organ failure and mortality in patients with AP and positive SIRS score.
Try to collect about 350 cases of acute necrotizing pancreatitis at the First Affiliated Hospital with Nanjing Medical University and Nanjing General Hospital of Nanjing Military Command. Then the investigators studied the incidence and the risk factors of ARDS in patients with acute necrotizing pancreatitis.
Post-ERCP pancreatitis is a well-known and sometimes life-threatening complication of ERCP. Both LR and rectal indomethacin have shown benefit in preventing post-ERCP pancreatitis. Despite this, no study to date has evaluated both of these measures for preventing post-ERCP pancreatitis. It is our hope to evaluate the combination of these two modalities for preventing post-ERCP pancreatitis compared with either modality alone.
There are controversies optimal timing for cholecystectomy in patients with mild biliary pancreatitis. The safety of cholecystectomy performed during an episode of pancreatitis has been questioned. The aim of the present randomized controlled trial is to compare the outcome in terms of recurrent pancreatitis and gallstone-related events between index cholecystectomy, performed during the first admission for acute pancreatitis, and scheduled cholecystectomy, performed 4-6 weeks after discharge.
