Filter by:1. Pancreatic CT perfusion with a biofeedback breathing belt worn by the participant, and using novel post-processing techniques, is a reliable method which can be used to differentiate between pancreatic cancer, chronic pancreatitis, and autoimmune pancreatitis. 2. Pancreatic CT perfusion can be used to monitor patients undergoing decompression treatment (endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography with stent placement) for painful chronic pancreatitis, and the change in the pancreatic perfusion parameters correlate with the change in the pain parameters (pain scale and analgesic use). 3. Pancreatic CT perfusion parameters can be calculated using surrogate scan data sets at specific time points to replace the continuous scanning.
The purpose of this prospective randomized study is to compare the clinical effectiveness of EUS-guided CB performed with a single injection versus two injections of medication into the celiac ganglion region.
The purpose of this prospective study is to measure the clinical effectiveness of EUS-guided CB in subjects, 50 who have chronic pancreatitis and 50 who have pancreatic cancer, that are already undergoing celiac block for clinical reasons.
Comparison of metabolic and nutritional effects of an enteral immune enhancing diet with those of a standard polymeric one, in ICU patients
This study assesses the efficacy and safety of Viokase® 16 for the correction of steatorrhea (malabsorption of dietary fats) in patients with a history of exocrine pancreatic insufficiency (EPI) due to chronic pancreatitis (CP) or pancreatectomy. This study is sponsored by Aptalis Pharma (formerly Axcan).
Retrospective studies have shown, that about half of the patients will have a recurrent episode after the first acute alcoholic pancreatitis. Of the patients in hospital, more than half annually are treated for recurrent acute pancreatitis. Because alcohol has been shown an important factor in the development of recurrent pancreatitis, it was hypothesized, that by attempting intensively to diminish the individual alcohol consumption the number of recurrent pancreatitis could be decreased. Two protocols will be compared: A) initial intervention against alcohol abuse and B) repeated interventions at 6 month intervals.
Previously our retrospective study showed that almost half of the patients with acute alcoholic pancreatitis had a recurrent attack in the long-term, mild pancreatitis and young age being risk factors for recurrence. The aim of this prospective follow-up study was aimed to find out the risk factors in detail.
Impact on outcome of early endoscopic extraction of bile duct stones in biliary pancreatitis: a prospective multicenter randomized controlled study.
Our aim in this study is to find out if we can locate the similar reduction in the recruitment of macrophages, remodeling of vasculature and do they correlate in the number and area of the islets in pancreas as in the mouse model.
This study is performed to measure wether Helicobacter Pylori has an effect on the incidence and course of acute alcohol induced pancreatitis
