Abstract:
Metabolic abnormalities due to acute and chronic pancreatitis are common. In particular, post-pancreatitis diabetes mellitus (PPDM) is increasingly recognized as a distinct clinical entity. However, most of the research in this field is focused on unravelling the pathogenesis of PPDM whereas research frontiers are rarely extended to reducing the risk of new onset diabetes after pancreatitis (NODAP). The recent development and validation of the PERSEUS score paved the way to identifying individuals after acute pancreatitis who are at high risk of developing NODAP. This article discusses the PERSEUS score and other evidence that may inform the development of guidelines on reducing the burden of PPDM.

Carbohydrate Metabolism
Starch accounts for approximately 60% of the carbohydrates consumed by humans. Since amylase enzymes cannot function in the stomach's acidic environment, starch can only be digested in the mouth and small intestine. Simple sugars are found naturally in milk and fruits in...
Chronic Pancreatitis I: Introduction
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...

Pathophysiology of Diabetes
Type 1 diabetes is characterized by autoimmune-mediated destruction of pancreatic β cells, with environmental factors potentially triggering this process in genetically susceptible individuals. Despite many not having a family history, certain genes increase susceptibility,...
