Filter by:Aim of the prospective study is a better differentiation of benign and malignant lesions in the pancreas in patients with suspected pancreatic cancer using images 30 and 90 min p.i. (post injectionen) and a diagnostic CT (computed tomography) scan of the abdomen within the Time of Flight (TOF)-18F-FDG-PET/CT and thus an improvement of the quality of PET/CT findings.
To evaluate pulmonary function in chronic pancreatitis compared with healthy volunteers and patients with cirrhosis.
Acute pancreatitis (AP) is a common condition in emergency services worldwide. Approximately 85% of AP are mild and the patients usually recover within 1 to 2 weeks, not requeiring any critical care and organ support. The management of mild AP conventionally involves fasting, intravenous hydration and adequate analgesia until pain improves in order to prevent stimulation and allow the pancreas gland to rest. The current guidelines recommend the oral food intake should be tried as soon as possible, and beneficial effects or early enteral nutrition with mild AP have been reported in literature. Then, early oral refeeding (EORF) after mild and moderate AP is beneficial, but the optimal timing and starting criteria are unclear. Even now, refeeding after mild and moderate AP is typically started until clinical symptoms have resolved and pancreatic enzymes are decreasing, in a successively increasing manner. The aim of this study is to evaluate length of hospital stay, clinical findings and complications for EORF with immediately full caloric intake in patients with mild and moderate AP.
Today 11 percent of China's population is over the age of 65, and according to United Nations, it will take China just 20 years for the proportion of the elderly population to double to 25%. As life expectancy has increased, application of Endoscopic Retrograde Cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) in super-aged (≥80 years of age) is no longer limited with increasing prevalence of choledocholithiasis, and malignancy in advancing age. This increasing may come with more difficulty in cannulation or more complications in senior patients. Regarding difficult cannulation, little is known about grading difficulty in the elderly and its relation with adverse events. Therefore, it is time to evaluate the risk factors of adverse events in super-aged patients with difficult bile duct cannulation.
This open-label study will evaluate the pharmacodynamic and pharmacokinetic profile of CM4620-IE in patients with acute pancreatitis. The first five (5) patients will receive ≤ 2.08 mg/kg of CM4620-IE by continuous IV infusion on Day 1. If necessary, up to an additional 4 patients may be treated at a different dose of CM4620-IE as determined by the obtained PK and PD data. The infusion of CM4620-IE will start within 12 hours from the time the patient or LAR provides informed consent.
A prospective, single arm, open label, multi-center, trial to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of the Interscope EndoRotor® Resection System in subjects requiring direct endoscopic necrosectomy (DEN) with walled off pancreatic necrosis (WOPN).
The investigators will enroll a total of 628 patients under 18 years of age with ARP or CP. Included in the total are the 357patients in the INSPPIRE 1 database who are planned to be reenrolled under this protocol over the next 4 years. Patient questionnaires and physician surveys will be applied at the time of enrollment and annually thereafter as long as possible. At the first study visit after turning 18 years of age, the patient will sign the informed consent to continue in the study. Specifically, the investigators will define the demographics of the pediatric ARP and CP cohort, describe risk factors, presence of family history of acute and chronic pancreatitis, diabetes and pancreatic cancer and assess disease burden and sequelae.
The PAN-PROMISE study (PAtieNt-rePoRted OutcoMe scale in acute pancreatItis-an international proSpEctive cohort study) aims to measure an outcome variable in acute pancreatitis (AP) based in the patient´s experience. PAN-PROMISE is a cohort study involving patients with AP. The patient´s symptom perception will be compared with the opinion of the clinicians and with clinical outcomes.
The Retention of pancreatic stents for prophylaxis of post-ERCP pancreatitis (PEP) is assessed by abdominal x-ray according to international Guidelines. The current study aimed to analyze whether prophylactic pancreatic stents can be detected by transdermal ultrasound to save the x-ray examination.
With the development of endoscopic technology, ERCP has been widely used in the diagnosis and treatment of pancreatobiliary diseases, and has become the first treatment for most of the biliary and pancreatic diseases. Postoperative ERCP pancreatitis (PEP) is the most common and serious complication after ERCP. The purpose of this study was to explore methods for preventing postoperative pancreatitis. 1. Participants: Patients with high-risk factors associated with PEP were included in the no-obvious patients who underwent therapeutic ERCP in our hospital from June 2018 to December 2019. 2. Research methods: Patients were randomly divided into indometacin suppositories, indomethacin suppositories and pancreatic stents. 3. Statistical methods: SPSS 13.0 statistical software was used. The measurement data was expressed as x± s, and t-test or non-parametric test was used. Chi-square test was used for count data.
