Abstract:
Pancreatitis, panniculitis, and polyarthritis syndrome is a rare disease. A 49-year-old man recently complained of bilateral ankle and epigastric pain. An ankle x-ray showed subcutaneous soft tissue swelling. Subsequent 99mTc-MDP bone scan showed foci of abnormal activity around joints in all extremities, especially in the knees and ankles. In addition, multiple nodular calcifications in the head of the pancreas were found in the abdominal CT scan. The patient also had increased blood amylase and lipase. The symptoms were resolved after the treatment of his pancreatitis.

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...

Pulmonary Angiogram
A Pulmonary Angiogram is an invasive procedure involving injecting a contrast medium through a catheter threaded into the pulmonary artery or the right side of the heart to visualize the pulmonary vasculature. Computed Tomography (CT) scans have mainly replaced this...
Acute Pancreatitis I: Introduction
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:
