Acute Pancreatitis: An Update of Evidence‐Based Management and Recent Trends in Treatment Strategies
ABSTRACT Acute pancreatitis is a common gastrointestinal disease leading to hospitalisation. Recent advancements in its management have primarily focussed on the development of early phase medical interventions targeting inflammatory pathways, optimisation of supportive treatment (including fluid resuscitation, pain management and nutritional ...

Analysis of a mathematical model describing necrotic tumor growth [PDF]
In this paper we study a model describing the growth of necrotic tumors in different regimes of vascularisation. The tumor consists of a necrotic core of death cells and a surrounding nonnecrotic shell. The corresponding mathematical formulation is a moving boundary problem where both boundaries delimiting the nonnecrotic shell are allowed to evolve in

Quantifying allowable motion to achieve safe dose escalation in pancreatic SBRT [PDF]
Tumor motion plays a key role in the safe delivery of Stereotactic Body Radiotherapy (SBRT) for pancreatic cancer. The purpose of this study was to use tumor motion data measured in patients to establish limits on motion magnitude for safe delivery of pancreatic SBRT.

Significance of thromboxane A2 and prostaglandin I2 in acute necrotizing pancreatitis in rats [PDF]
Plasma thromboxane concentrations were found to be significantly elevated in acute necrotizing pancreatitis in rats, whereas prostaglandin I2 levels were not. The significance of these alterations was investigated. Pancreatitis was induced by injecting 5%
