Chronic Pancreatitis I: Introduction01:24

Chronic Pancreatitis I: Introduction

890
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...

Acute Pancreatitis II: Clinical Manifestations and Management

1.1K
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...

Appendicitis-I: Introduction

3.6K
The appendix, a small, narrow, blind tube extending from the inferior part of the cecum, is widely regarded as a vestigial organ, having lost much of its original function through evolution. Despite its diminished role, the appendix can become inflamed, a condition known as appendicitis.
Etiology: Appendicitis can arise from various causes, primarily rooted in the obstruction of the appendix lumen. Factors contributing to this obstruction include fecal accumulation, lymphoid hyperplasia and, in...

Inflammatory Bowel Disease II: Crohn's Disease

1.5K
Introduction
Inflammatory bowel disease, commonly known as IBD, refers to a collection of disorders that lead to persistent inflammation of the gastrointestinal tract. The two types of IBD are ulcerative colitis, which impacts the colon, and Crohn's disease, which can involve any part of the gastrointestinal segment.
Crohn's disease
Crohn's disease is a chronic, systemic inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) that predominantly affects the gastrointestinal tract. It is marked by...

Acute Pancreatitis I: Introduction

1.5K
Pancreatitis is inflammation of the pancreas, an organ located behind the stomach. It can be either acute or chronic.
Acute pancreatitis is characterized by rapid inflammation of the pancreas, often caused by factors like gallstone blockage or excessive alcohol consumption. Chronic pancreatitis, on the other hand, is a slow, progressive inflammation that may result from long-term alcohol abuse, obstructions in the pancreatic duct, or genetic factors.
The causes of acute pancreatitis include:

Summary
This summary is machine-generated.

Mesenteric panniculitis (MP) often coexists with cancer, particularly in the large bowel, lymph nodes, and urogenital tract. Initial CT scans usually detect these cancers, except for prostate cancer, limiting the need for further investigation in asymptomatic patients.

Area of Science:

  • Gastroenterology
  • Oncology
  • Radiology

Background:

  • Mesenteric panniculitis (MP) is an inflammatory condition of the small bowel mesentery.
  • MP has been observed in association with various malignancies.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To determine the frequency and types of cancers associated with MP.
  • To assess if these cancers are detectable on initial diagnostic CT scans.

Main Methods:

  • Prospective data collection of MP patients in New Zealand (2003-2014).
  • Independent review of CT scans and clinical records.
  • Contact with family doctors for additional information.

Main Results:

  • 259 patients confirmed with MP; 78 had a malignancy diagnosis.
  • Colorectum (19), lymph nodes (17), and kidney (6) were most common cancer sites.
  • CT scans detected 44/54 cancers (excluding prostate), including GI, lymphomas, and urogenital malignancies.

Conclusions:

  • Common cancer sites associated with MP are the large bowel, lymph nodes, and urogenital tract.
  • Initial CT scans are effective in detecting most associated cancers, except prostate.
  • Extensive investigations in asymptomatic patients with MP may yield limited results.
