Abstract:
Immunoglobulin G4-related disease (IgG4-RD) is a rare immune-mediated disease affecting multiple organs and tissues. There is often the presence of elevated serum Ig4 subtype with histological evidence of lymphoplasmacytic infiltration, fibrosis, and phlebitis. The mainstay of treatment is steroid therapy. This case report is based on a 24-year-old man with IgG4-related type 1 autoimmune pancreatitis (AIP) who also had elevated serum IgG4 subclass and histological features in keeping with IgG4-RD. The main complaints were dry cough, nasal congestion with sneezing, sore throat, and fever. Necessary investigations were performed and based on the International Consensus Diagnostic Criteria, the diagnosis of AIP type 1 was confirmed, which is a pancreatic manifestation of IgG4-RD. He was subsequently treated with prednisolone and azathioprine and is showing a good response to the treatment.

01:27Acute 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:
01:24Chronic 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...

01:17Gastritis-II: Pathophysiology
In acute gastritis, the gastric mucosa becomes swollen and red and undergoes superficial erosion. Superficial ulceration may lead to bleeding.
In chronic gastritis, persistent or repeated insults lead to chronic inflammatory changes and, eventually, thinning or atrophy of the gastric tissue.
Gastritis can stem from various causes, each...
