Acute Pancreatitis I: Introduction01:25

Acute Pancreatitis I: Introduction

Acute pancreatitis is the sudden inflammation of the pancreas caused by the early activation of digestive enzymes, leading to the autodigestion of pancreatic tissue. This results in local inflammation and, in severe cases, systemic complications.EtiologyUnderstanding the underlying causes is crucial, as identifying the etiology guides treatment and anticipates complications. Acute pancreatitis can be triggered by various factors, typically grouped into the following clinical categories.Biliary...

Chronic Pancreatitis I: Introduction

The pancreas, an elongated and flat gland situated behind the stomach, serves a vital function in digesting food and managing blood sugar levels.
Pancreatitis is the inflammation of the pancreas, which occurs when the immune system becomes active and causes swelling, pain, and disruptions in organ function. Pancreatitis can manifest as either an acute or chronic condition.
Acute pancreatitis arises suddenly and lasts for a brief duration, while chronic pancreatitis is a long-term affliction...

Chronic Pancreatitis I: Introduction

Chronic pancreatitis is a long-standing, relapsing inflammation of the pancreas, characterized by irreversible damage to the gland. It results in progressive destruction of the pancreatic parenchyma, fibrosis, and eventual loss of both exocrine and endocrine function. The disease may evolve gradually after multiple episodes of acute pancreatitis or develop independently.EtiologyChronic pancreatitis can arise from a variety of causes:Alcohol use is the leading cause, accounting for 70–80% of...
Acute Pancreatitis II: Pathophysiology01:21

Acute Pancreatitis II: Pathophysiology

The pathophysiology of acute pancreatitis centers on injury to pancreatic acinar cells, which initiates a cascade of harmful intracellular events.This injury leads to premature activation of trypsinogen to trypsin in the pancreas. Trypsin then activates other digestive enzymes, such as chymotrypsin, elastase, and phospholipase A2, which begin breaking down pancreatic tissue. The resulting autodigestion causes local inflammation, tissue swelling, hemorrhage, and fat necrosis.Injured acinar cells...

Acute Pancreatitis II: Clinical Manifestations and Management

Acute pancreatitis presents a complex medical emergency characterized by rapid onset inflammation of the pancreas, demanding timely diagnosis and management to prevent complications. The condition primarily manifests through severe upper abdominal pain that often radiates to the back. This pain intensifies following the consumption of fatty foods. Accompanying symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, abdominal distention, fever, dyspnea, cyanosis, and jaundice can vary in intensity but significantly...

Skin Diseases and Disorders

Skin is the first line of defense and encounters a variety of microbes. Some pathogenic strains are often the cause of a broad range of infections of the skin and other body systems. These conditions can affect people of all ages and may have different causes, including genetic factors, infections, autoimmune reactions, environmental factors, and lifestyle choices.
Gram-positive Staphylococcus spp. and Streptococcus spp. are responsible for many of the most common skin infections. However, many...

Summary

Lupus panniculitis, a rare skin condition, can manifest as subcutaneous nodules. This study highlights two cases successfully treated with chloroquine, even without typical lupus lesions.

Area of Science:

  • Dermatology
  • Rheumatology
  • Pathology

Background:

  • Lupus panniculitis is a rare manifestation of Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE) or Discoid Lupus Erythematosus (DLE).
  • It presents as subcutaneous nodules, often asymptomatic and large.
  • Typical cutaneous or systemic lupus lesions may be absent.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To describe two cases of lupus panniculitis.
  • To evaluate treatment response in patients lacking typical lupus manifestations.

Main Methods:

  • Case report of two female patients with lupus panniculitis.
  • Clinical examination, biopsy for histopathology (lobular panniculitis).
  • Serological testing for antinuclear factor (ANA).

Main Results:

  • Both patients presented solely with subcutaneous nodules, without other SLE or DLE signs.
  • One patient had a positive antinuclear factor.
  • Histopathology confirmed typical lobular panniculitis in both cases.
  • Both patients showed favorable response to systemic chloroquine therapy.

Conclusions:

  • Lupus panniculitis can occur in the absence of other characteristic lupus lesions.
  • Systemic chloroquine is an effective treatment for lupus panniculitis.
  • Histopathological confirmation of lobular panniculitis is crucial for diagnosis.
