Abstract:
Alcohol consumption is the main cause of development of chronic pancreatitis and the second etiology of acute pancreatitis. The mortality of acute pancreatitis depends on its necrotic haemorrhagic character and the initial inflammatory response, while pain, malnutrition and diabetes are the main issues in the management of chronic pancreatitis. As medical and endoscopic techniques progress, surgical indications have become increasingly rare but remain indispensable for some patients. The multidisciplinary approach of these patients is the key to the success of care.

Ethers from Alcohols: Alcohol Dehydration and Williamson Ether Synthesis
Ethers can be prepared from organic compounds by various methods. Some of them are discussed below,
Preparation of Ethers by Alcohol Dehydration
In this method, in the presence of protic acids, alcohol dehydrates to produce alkenes and ethers under different conditions. For example, in the presence of sulphuric acid, dehydration of ethanol at 413 K yields ethoxyethane, whereas it yields ethene at 443 K.
