Article Abstract

Hypertriglyceridemia is a known cause of 2%-7% of cases of acute pancreatitis. Although there are numerous potential causes, the use of atypical antipsychotics has been linked to elevated triglycerides and pancreatitis. Here, we present the case of a 42-year-old male patient with a diagnosis of schizoaffective disorder who presented to our hospital with acute pancreatitis due to hypertriglyceridemia, which was exacerbated after he was started on quetiapine.

Background: Severe acute pancreatitis (SAP) is a life-threatening condition requiring early risk stratification. While the Bedside Index for Severity in Acute Pancreatitis (BISAP) is widely used, its reliance on complex parameters limits its applicability in resource-constrained settings. This study introduces a decision tree model based on Classification and Regression Tree (CART) analysis, utilizing Neutrophil-to-Lymphocyte Ratio (NLR) and C-reactive Protein (CRP), as a simpler alternative for early SAP prediction.

Prognostic value of multiparameter [Ga]Ga-DOTA-FAPI-04 PET/MR imaging biomarkers for patients with advanced pancreatic cancer.

Department of Nuclear Medicine, Changhai Hospital, Naval Medical University, 168 Changhai Road, Yang Pu District, Shanghai, 200433, China.

Purpose: In this retrospective study, whether [Ga]Ga-DOTA-FAPI-04 PET/MR imaging biomarkers can predict the progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) of patients with advanced pancreatic cancer was investigated.

Methods: Fifty-one patients who underwent [Ga]Ga-DOTA-FAPI-04 PET/MR scans before first-line chemotherapy were recruited. Imaging biomarkers, including the maximum tumor diameter, minimum apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC), maximum and mean standardized uptake values (SUV and SUV), fibroblast activation protein- (FAP-) positive tumor volume (FTV and W-FTV) and total lesion FAP expression (TLF and W-TLF), were recorded for primary and whole-body tumors.

Objective: To validate and assess clinical efficacy of a prognostic model for predicting severe acute pancreatitis (SAP) based on inflammatory markers (IL-6, ΔIL-22), thromboelastography parameters (K-time) and the BISAP score.

Material And Methods: A prospective observational cohort study enrolled 181 patients with acute pancreatitis. Serum IL-6 and IL-22 were measured in 24 and 48 hours after clinical manifestation, respectively.

Objective: To analyze the most well-known studies devoted to completion pancreatectomy (CP) for postoperative complications after pancreatoduodenectomy.

Material And Methods: We analyzed original articles and reviews between 1992 and 2023 (number of patients ≥5 (5-120)).

Results: Mean blood loss in CP ranged from 500 to 2180 ml, surgery time - from 144 to 340 min.

Objective: To demonstrate the effectiveness and safety of intraluminal endoscopic treatment of patients with adenomas of the major duodenal papilla and familial adenomatous polyposis.

Material And Methods: Over the past 4 years, 13 patients with adenomas of the major duodenal papilla and familial adenomatous polyposis underwent surgery in our hospital. Of these, 7 patients had exclusively extrapapillary adenomas without signs of spread to the ducts.
