Pancreatic phospholipase A2 activity in acute pancreatitis: A prognostic marker for early identification of patients at risk [PDF]
Remarkably elevated levels of phospholipase A(2) (PLA(2)) are measurable in human blood samples in cases of acute pancreatitis. The source of the enzyme was first thought to be exclusively the pancreas, but now it is generally accepted that two ...

Exocrine pancreatic function is preserved in systemic sclerosis
Background Systemic sclerosis (SSc) has been suggested to cause exocrine pancreatic dysfunction. However, a case-control-based autopsy study failed to associate systemic sclerosis with any pancreatic histopathology.

DeformableFormer: Classification of Endoscopic Ultrasound Guided Fine Needle Biopsy in Pancreatic Diseases [PDF]
Endoscopic Ultrasound-Fine Needle Aspiration (EUS-FNA) is used to examine pancreatic cancer. EUS-FNA is an examination using EUS to insert a thin needle into the tumor and collect pancreatic tissue fragments. Then collected pancreatic tissue fragments are then stained to classify whether they are pancreatic cancer.

CTG-Net: An Efficient Cascaded Framework Driven by Terminal Guidance Mechanism for Dilated Pancreatic Duct Segmentation [PDF]
Pancreatic duct dilation indicates a high risk of various pancreatic diseases. Segmentation of dilated pancreatic ducts on computed tomography (CT) images shows the potential to assist the early diagnosis, surgical planning and prognosis. Because of the ducts' tiny sizes, slender tubular structures and the surrounding distractions, most current ...

Secondary exocrine pancreatic insufficiency. Features of the choice of the enzyme
Exocrine pancreatic insufficiency is quite common in clinical practice of doctors of many specialties. Decrease in intraduodenal lipase levels below 5–10% of normal leads to pancreatic steatorrhea, weight loss and a potential decrease in quality of life.
