Tratamiento de los pseudocistos pancreáticos con octreotido
Lancet (London, England)
|August 31, 1991
Resumen
La octreotida, un fármaco anti-secretor pancreático, se mostró prometedor en el tratamiento de los pseudocistos pancreáticos. En cuatro de siete pacientes, la octreotida redujo el tamaño del pseudocisto y eliminó el dolor asociado con la pancreatitis crónica.
Área de la Ciencia:
- Gastroenterología y Gastroenterología.
- Endocrinología Endocrinología.
Sus antecedentes:
- Los pseudocistos pancreáticos son una complicación frecuente y dolorosa de la pancreatitis crónica.
- El dolor persistente a menudo requiere estrategias efectivas de tratamiento.
Objetivo del estudio:
- Evaluar la eficacia de la octreotida en el tratamiento de los pseudocistos pancreáticos y el dolor asociado en pacientes con pancreatitis crónica.
Principales métodos:
- Siete pacientes con pancreatitis crónica y pseudocistos recibieron octreotida, un medicamento anti-secretor pancreático, durante dos semanas.
- Se monitorearon los cambios en el tamaño del pseudocisto y los niveles de dolor.
Principales resultados:
- Cuatro de cada siete pacientes experimentaron una reducción promedio del tamaño del seudocisto del 42%.
- Se observó una resolución completa del dolor en estos cuatro pacientes.
- Tres pacientes no mostraron cambios significativos en el tamaño del pseudocisto.
Conclusiones:
- La octreotida puede ser una opción terapéutica viable para reducir el tamaño del pseudocisto pancreático y aliviar el dolor.
- Se necesita más investigación para confirmar estos hallazgos preliminares.

01:26Pancreatic Juice and Secretion
3.0K
Pancreatic juice is a clear fluid produced by the pancreas, containing water, salts, sodium bicarbonate, and enzymes vital for digestion in the small intestine. It helps break down large molecules, facilitating nutrient absorption.
When acidic chyme from the stomach enters the duodenum, it triggers the release of secretin, a hormone that prompts pancreatic juice secretion. After a fatty meal, cholecystokinin, another hormone, stimulates gallbladder contraction and enhances enzyme-rich...

01:27Acute Pancreatitis I: Introduction
1.2K
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:

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...

01:27Open Angle Glaucoma: Treatment
994
In open-angle glaucoma, the iridocorneal angle remains open, but the trabecular meshwork becomes stiff, slowing down the outflow of aqueous humor. This causes a buildup of aqueous humor in the anterior chamber, leading to a sudden increase in intraocular pressure. The treatment for open-angle glaucoma focuses on reducing the elevated intraocular pressure by either decreasing the secretion of aqueous humor or increasing its outflow.

02:56Treatment Resistant Cancers
3.8K
Cancer is the second leading cause of death in the United States. A cancer cell is genetically unstable and hence can mutate faster. They can also modify their microenvironment and escape immune surveillance. The difficulties in treating cancer are further compounded by the emergence of rapid resistance to anticancer drugs. The most common ways to attain resistance in cancer cells include alteration in drug transport and metabolism, modification of drug target, elevated DNA damage response, or...
