SCPMan: Shape Context and Prior Constrained Multi-scale Attention Network for Pancreatic Segmentation [PDF]

arXiv, 2023
Due to the poor prognosis of Pancreatic cancer, accurate early detection and segmentation are critical for improving treatment outcomes. However, pancreatic segmentation is challenged by blurred boundaries, high shape variability, and class imbalance.

Analysis of hospital costs for robotic and open pancreatectomy incurred during the implementation of a robotic pancreatectomy program at a cancer center

Annals of Gastroenterological Surgery, EarlyView.
In this matched cohort study, total costs associated with robotic pancreatectomy were significantly lower than those associated with open pancreatectomy. High intraoperative costs associated with robotic pancreatectomies can be mitigated by other hospital related factors such as length of stay, number of medication prescriptions, and standardization of

Experimental Acute Pancreatitis Models: History, Current Status, and Role in Translational Research

Frontiers in Physiology, 2020
Acute pancreatitis is a potentially severe inflammatory disease that may be associated with a substantial morbidity and mortality. Currently there is no specific treatment for the disease, which indicates an ongoing demand for research into its ...

Activation of pancreatic stellate cells attenuates intracellular Ca2+ signals due to downregulation of TRPA1 and protects against cell death induced by alcohol metabolites

Cell Death and Disease, 2022
Alcohol abuse, an increasing problem in developed societies, is one of the leading causes of acute and chronic pancreatitis. Alcoholic pancreatitis is often associated with fibrosis mediated by activated pancreatic stellate cells (PSCs). Alcohol toxicity

Super Subtotal Gastrectomy: A Novel Reconstruction Concept for Upper Gastric Cancer That Preserves the Fornix

Annals of Gastroenterological Surgery, EarlyView.
We developed a novel super subtotal gastrectomy (SSTG) technique for upper‐third gastric cancer near the esophagogastric junction. This method preserves the gastric fornix, a major site of ghrelin secretion, while maintaining an oral margin beyond the esophageal junction. SSTG offers a potential solution for reducing postoperative complications such as

Meta-information-aware Dual-path Transformer for Differential Diagnosis of Multi-type Pancreatic Lesions in Multi-phase CT [PDF]

arXiv, 2023
Pancreatic cancer is one of the leading causes of cancer-related death. Accurate detection, segmentation, and differential diagnosis of the full taxonomy of pancreatic lesions, i.e., normal, seven major types of lesions, and other lesions, is critical to aid the clinical decision-making of patient management and treatment. However, existing works focus

Mesenteric thrombosis: An unusual complication of severe acute pancreatitis—Report of two cases

Advances in Digestive Medicine, EarlyView.
Abstract The incidence of acute pancreatitis is 34 per 100 000 people in the general population and is on the rise. Approximately 15% to 20% of all patients experience severe pancreatitis, with a mortality rate nearing 20%. This condition is often linked to vascular complications, although mesenteric thrombosis is a rare presentation.

Quantitative analysis of collagen remodeling in pancreatic lesions using computationally translated collagen images derived from brightfield microscopy images [PDF]

arXiv, 2023
The changes in stromal collagen play a crucial role during the pathogenesis and progression of pancreatic intraepithelial neoplasm (PanIN) to pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) while misdiagnosis of PanIN is common because of the resemblance to chronic pancreatitis (CP) in its symptoms and subsequent evaluations similarities.

Network Toxicology and Molecular Docking Analysis of Tetracycline-Induced Acute Pancreatitis: Unveiling Core Mechanisms and Targets

Toxics
Acute pancreatitis (AP), induced by tetracycline, a widely used antibiotic, poses significant clinical and toxicological challenges, yet its molecular mechanisms remain unclear.

Knockout of the Mitochondrial Calcium Uniporter Strongly Suppresses Stimulus-Metabolism Coupling in Pancreatic Acinar Cells but Does Not Reduce Severity of Experimental Acute Pancreatitis

Cells, 2020
Acute pancreatitis is a frequent disease that lacks specific drug treatment. Unravelling the molecular mechanisms of acute pancreatitis is essential for the development of new therapeutics.
