Predicting Exocrine Insufficiency Following Pancreatic Resection [PDF]
We read with interest the article, “Reduced Pancreatic Parenchymal Thickness Indicates Exocrine Pancreatic Insufficiency After Pancreatoduodenectomy” by Dr. Nakamura et al.[1] Their work presents a potentially potent tool by which the pancreatic surgeon may treat their patients following surgery to alleviate the effects of exocrine pancreatic ...

ABSTRACT Background To evaluate the usefulness of the ELST‐blue score to explore its potential application in identifying high‐risk groups for early chronic pancreatitis (ECP) through reflecting on pancreatic elasticity and the reduction of pancreatic function, and we tried to demonstrate whether the ELST‐blue score was significantly associated with ...

Pancreatogenic type 3C diabetes [PDF]
Background. The relationship between chronic pancreatitis and diabetes is well established. This form of diabetes is secondary to exocrine pancreatic disorder and is known as diabetes mellitus type 3c (T3cDM). Materials and Methods. In this retrospective

Molecular consequences of cystic fibrosis transmembrane regulator (CFTR) gene mutations in the exocrine pancreas [PDF]
Background and aims: We tested the hypothesis that the actual or predicted consequences of mutations in the cystic fibrosis transmembrane regulator gene correlate with the pancreatic phenotype and with measures of quantitative exocrine pancreatic ...

ABSTRACT Objective We aimed to, for the first time, assess the value of modified textbook outcome (mTO) in robot‐assisted middle pancreatectomy (RMP) procedures. Summary Background Data Pancreatic fistula remains to be the major complication after RMP. Textbook outcome (TO) is introduced to capture the most desirable surgical outcomes.

Remote Pancreatic Response to Severe Polytrauma Correlates With Clinical Outcome
ABSTRACT Background Acute pancreatic injury can result from blunt or sharp force trauma, often leading to serious complications. While direct pancreatic trauma is associated with high rates of infection, organ failure, and mortality, little is known about the pancreas as a potential secondary target and remote trauma organ and thereby as a booster of ...

Association of faecal elastase 1 with non-fasting triglycerides in type 2 diabetes. [PDF]
AIMS: Intestinal absorption of esterified fatty acids depends on exocrine pancreatic function and influences plasma triglycerides levels. The aim was to investigate the association of reduced exocrine pancreatic function (low fecal elastase-1; FE1) with ...
