Introduction: Minimally invasive approches in treatment of acute necrotizing pancreatitis and/or infected pancreatic necrosis gain a notable advantage compared with open surgery.. Aim: We present our experience in treatment of acute necrotizing pancreatitis by an original minimally invasive retroperitoneal necrosectomy technique, evaluate feasibility and safety of this method, compare our results to other studies.. Patients and methods: A retrospective analysis of 22 patients with acute necrotizing pancreatitis and large fluid collections in retroperitoneal space was performed. All patients underwent retroperitoneal necrosectomy as an initial interventional procedure in treatment of infected pancreatic necrosis.. Results: Sixteen males and six females aged between 24 and 60 with an average age of 42.59 ±7.3 years were included. Alcohol abuse was an etiologic factor of acute necrotizing pancreatitis for 18 patients (81.8%). Average time between diagnosis and performance of necrosectomy was 28.6 ...

The etiology and pathogenesis of pancreatitis remains unclear. In the presence of pancreatic inflammation, metabolite abnormalities appear before transformation of tissue structure and changes in functions occur. Detection of abnormalities in metabolite levels facilitates a greater understanding of the pathophysiological events and aids in the early diagnosis of the disease. In this study, metabolic profiles from the pancreas of Wistar rats were examined using high-resolution proton magic angle spinning nuclear magnetic resonance (MAS NMR) spectroscopy to investigate the metabolite indicator(s) of acute necrotizing pancreatitis (ANP) and chronic pancreatitis (CP). The animals were divided into three groups: those with histologically confirmed ANP (n=7), those with CP (n=6) and a control group (n=9). The processed NMR spectra were analyzed using principal component analysis (PCA) to extract characteristic metabolites of ANP and CP. Levels of leucine, isoleucine and valine were increased in the ...

Intramural hematoma of the gastrointestinal tract is a rare disease entity. Pancreatitis-induced intramural gastric hematoma (IGH) is far more seldom reported. Here, we report a rare case of a giant IGH occurring as a delayed complication of pancreatitis in a 51-year-old man. The diagnosis was made using computed tomography (CT) and endoscopic ultrasonography. The patient was conservatively managed, and follow-up abdominal CT showed marked decreases in the size of the IGH. ...

The gut microbiota are the main source of infections in necrotising pancreatitis. We investigated the effect of disruption of the intestinal microbiota by a Western-type diet on mortality and bacterial dissemination in necrotising pancreatitis and its reversal by butyrate supplementation.C57BL/6 mice were fed either standard chow or a Western-type diet for 4 weeks and were then subjected to taurocholate-induced necrotising pancreatitis. Blood and pancreas were collected for bacteriology and immune analysis. The cecum microbiota composition of mice was analysed using 16S rRNA gene amplicon sequencing and cecal content metabolites were analysed by targeted (ie, butyrate) and untargeted metabolomics. Prevention of necrotising pancreatitis in this model was compared between faecal microbiota transplantation (FMT) from healthy mice, antibiotic decontamination against Gram-negative bacteria and oral or systemic butyrate administration. Additionally, the faecal microbiota of patients with pancreatitis ...

Introduction; Prevention and treatment of secondary pancreatic infection is currently the main goal of treatment for acute necrotizing pancreatitis. The colon has been considered a major source of bacteria causing infection of pancreatic necrosis in acute pancreatitis. Our aim is to study the role of near total colectomy in reducing bacterial translocation and infection of pancreatic necrosis. Methods and procedures; 42 Spraque-Dawley rats were used in this study. Pancreatic ductal infusion of 1ml/kg Na-taurocholic acid was used for experimental pancreatitis. Study design was as follows; group-1; underwent laparotomy and ductal infusion of saline (control), group-2; laparotomy and ductal Na-taurocholic acid, group-3; near total colectomy and ductal saline, group-4; near total colectomy and Na-taurocholic acid. All animals were sacrificed at 48 hours, and tissue samples were collected from mesenteric lymph nodes, pancreas, spleen, liver and peritoneum for bacteriologic cultures. Additionally, ...

Evidence-based recommendations on endoscopic transluminal pancreatic necrosectomy in adults. This involves removing dead tissue from the pancreas

The clinical course of an episode of acute pancreatitis varies from a mild, transitory form to a severe necrotizing form characterized by multisystem organ failure and mortality in 20% to 40% of cases. Mild pancreatitis does not need specialized treatment, and surgery is necessary only to treat underlying mechanical factors such as gallstones or tumours at the papilla of Vater. On the other hand, patients with severe necrotizing pancreatitis need to be identified as early as possible after the onset of symptoms to start intensive care treatment. In this subgroup of patients, approximately 15% to 20% of all patients with acute pancreatitis, stratification according to infection status is crucial. Patients with infected necrosis must undergo surgical intervention, which consists of an organpreserving necrosectomy followed by postoperative lavage and/or drainage to evacuate necrotic debris, which appears during the further course of the condition. Primary

EUS-guided transmural drainage has become the first-line therapeutic modality for drainage of pancreatic fluid collections (e.g., WON).4 For more than a decade, plastic and self-expandable metallic stents have been the most frequently used style of stent. The use of these tubular stents for transmural drainage is off-label, lacks lumen-to-lumen anchorage, and is associated with well-documented adverse events. Plastic stents are limited by stent migration, premature occlusion, inefficient drainage, and the need for frequent exchange.1 Additionally, metallic tubular stents can be associated with a higher risk of migration, leakage, and mucosal injury.1 Recently, a novel stent was designed for endoscopic transluminal drainage that imparts lumen-to-lumen anchorage (AXIOS stent). The AXIOS stent has been shown promise for making transmural drainage quicker, safer, and more effective.2 A recent systematic review and meta-analysis shows that the EUS-guided transmural drainage of pancreatic fluid ...

The study was well powered to assess difference in mortality between groups and the results are largely generalizable to critically ill patients with characteristics similar to the study inclusion criteria. Nonsignificant improvement in survival was noted among patients with high Sequential Organ Failure Assessment scores, which may suggest that certain critically ill subgroups may benefit from empirical therapy. Additionally, there was low participation among patients with postoperative gastrointestinal leakage and acute necrotizing pancreatitis, among which there is a high risk of invasive fungal infection. Previous studies have shown surgical patients may benefit from empirical therapy. ...

Features of necrotising pancreatitis with surrounding organising collections and stranding, along with thrombosed splenic and IMV.

Review question How should people with necrotising pancreatitis be treated?. Background The pancreas is an organ in the abdomen (tummy) that secretes several digestive enzymes (substances that enable and speed up chemical reactions in the body) into the pancreatic ductal system, which empties into the small bowel. It also contains the Islets of Langerhans, which secrete several hormones including insulin (helps regulate blood sugar). Acute pancreatitis is sudden inflammation of the pancreas and can lead to destruction of the pancreas (pancreatic necrosis). Pancreatic necrosis can be infected or non-infected (sterile). Pancreatic necrosis can lead to failure of other organs, such as the lungs and kidneys, and is a life-threatening illness. The main treatments for pancreatic necrosis include removal of the dead tissue (debridement or necrosectomy), peritoneal lavage (washing dead tissue out of the abdomen, drainage (inserting a tube or drain to drain out the fluid collection around the ...

Objective In patients with pancreatitis, early persisting organ failure is believed to be the most important cause of mortality. This study investigates the relation between the timing (onset and duration) of organ failure and mortality and its association with infected pancreatic necrosis in patients with necrotising pancreatitis. Design We performed a post hoc analysis of a prospective database of 639 patients with necrotising pancreatitis from 21 hospitals. We evaluated the onset, duration and type of organ failure (ie, respiratory, cardiovascular and renal failure) and its association with mortality and infected pancreatic necrosis. Results In total, 240 of 639 (38%) patients with necrotising pancreatitis developed organ failure. Persistent organ failure (ie, any type or combination) started in the first week in 51% of patients with 42% mortality, in 13% during the second week with 46% mortality and in 36% after the second week with 29% mortality. Mortality in patients with persistent ...

The mentioned outcomes confirm that intraductal pancreatic stent fragmentation is in fact an extremely rare complication of pancreatic endotherapy. In this short article we aim to be sensitive to the fact that a broken pancreatic stent may also occur in patients undergoing endoscopic treatment of main pancreatic duct disruption, regardless of the diagnosis of chronic pancreatitis. We agree with the majority of authors [2-4] that endoscopic procedures should be attempted at centers experienced in retrieval of broken pancreatic stents, despite the lack of guidelines for treatment of intraductal pancreatic stent fragmentation. We have developed in our medical center the strategy of endoscopic treatment of intraductal pancreatic stent fragmentation [1], which we also use in the patients with a proximally migrated pancreatic stent. According to our strategy, the first instrument used for retrieval of parts of the broken stent during each endoscopic procedure was rat-tooth grasping forceps (Figure 1). ...

Antibiotics are commonly used as a curing method for pancreatic abscesses although their role remains controversial. Prophylactic antibiotics are normally chosen based on the type of flora and the degree of antibiotic penetration into the abscess. Pancreatic abscesses are more likely to host enteric organisms and pathogens such as E. coli, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Enterococcus faecalis, Staphylococcus aureus, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Proteus mirabilis, and Streptococcus species.[5] Medical therapy is usually given to people whose general health status does not allow surgery. On the other hand, antibiotics are not recommended in patients with pancreatitis, unless the presence of an infected abscess has been proved. Although there have been reported cases of patients who were given medical treatment and survived, primary drainage of the abscess is the main treatment used to cure this condition. Drainage usually involves a surgical procedure. It has been shown that CT-guided drainage brought inferior ...

AU - Takeyama, Yoshifumi. PY - 1999/4. Y1 - 1999/4. N2 - Background. Multiple organ failure (MOF) is the most serious complication in severe acute pancreatitis, contributing to its high mortality. It has been suggested that changes of high-energy phosphates, intracellular pH, and intracellular cation homeostasis are closely related to hepatocellular injury associated with MOF. Methods. Phosphorus metabolites, intracellular pH (pH(i)), and intracellular Na+ concentration ([Na+](i)) were measured in rat livers in vivo using 31P and 23Na NMR spectroscopy after deoxycholic acid (DCA)induced pancreatitis or intraperitoneal injection (ip) of pancreatitis-induced ascitic fluid (PAF). Results. Two hours after induction of DCA-pancreatitis, the liver experienced significant intracellular acidosis (pH(i) = 6.99 ± 0.16) and sodium ...

Interventional techniques have become increasingly important in recent years due to the now ubiquitous availability of CT scanning and ultrasonography. In 1998, Freeny et al reported for the first time a series of patients with infected acute necrotising pancreatitis who were exclusively drained by CT guided percutaneous catheter drainage.53 Earlier reports covered other infectious complications of acute pancreatitis,54 including infected pancreatic fluid collections, pseudocysts, or abscesses, as classified by the International Symposium on Acute Pancreatitis in Atlanta.7. Freeny and colleagues53 developed a technique of percutaneous drainage which not only drained infected necrosis passively but included necrosectomy by adding aggressive irrigation through large bore percutaneous catheters (28 F). Thirty four patients with necrotising pancreatitis and uncontrolled sepsis were treated. An average of three separate catheter sites per patient and four catheter exchanges per patient were necessary ...

This patient (described in the previous post) with a core temperature of 24.8 degrees was intubated for airway protection and rewarmed. During the process, he began to have cardiovascular collapse, possibly from the vasodilation during rewarming. He was admitted to the intensive care unit. This was truly an ICU patient; he had something wrong with every organ system. From a neurologic standpoint, he was altered and then sedated. When he was extubated, he was only oriented to person and his speech was incoherent. From a cardiovascular standpoint, he required vasopressors in the ICU to maintain his blood pressure. From a pulmonary standpoint, he was not only intubated, but subsequent scans found incidental pulmonary emboli and moderate bilateral pleural effusions. From a gastrointestinal standpoint, he had severe necrotizing pancreatitis. In my reading, I learned that cold is one of the lesser-known causes of pancreatitis (along with the dreaded scorpion sting). Repeat CT scans showed necrosis of ...

#930688 - Parameters Indicating Development of Influenza-Associated Acute Necrotizing Encephalopathy: Experiences from a Single Center - Full View

A slightly dilated pancreatic duct (top) is noted which ends abruptly due to a hypovascular mass in the body of the pancreas (bottom). Mild exudate is present in the left retroperitoneal space. Patient underwent surgery and pancreatic adenocarcinoma was confirmed at pathology.. Necrotizing pancreatitis caused by pancreatic adenocarcinoma is rarely reported and notoriously difficult to diagnose and treat, as the extensive peripancreatic changes associated with necrotizing pancreatitis would likely render curative resection impossible in the majority of cases (121). Pancreatic adenocarcinoma as the cause of pancreatitis is surrounded by pitfalls in clinical presentation and diagnostic imaging features leading to delays in correct diagnosis and appropriate treatment (7, 30, 72, 106). Often, the diagnosis of an occult pancreatic adenocarcinoma is masked by the clinical presentation of signs and symptoms of acute pancreatitis. Also, on imaging, features of the inflammatory process may hamper the ...

Acute pancreatitis is a common abdominal disease that can be divided into mild and severe acute pancreatitis (SAP) [1]. The mortality rate of mild acute pancreatitis is very low. SAP is a hemorrhagic, necrotizing pancreatitis characterized by more severe symptoms, and may be accompanied by shock, viscera dysfunction, and severe metabolic derangement [2]. SAP progresses rapidly and mortality rate is high. SAP is often accompanied by systemic inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS), which is a serious inflammatory response that significantly increases catabolism and energy consumption [3]. This often results in rapid loss of reserve nutrients, imbalances in acid-base regulation, and loss of water and electrolytes in the body. These metabolic abnormalities, in conjunction with failure to receive timely treatment, may lead to multiple organ failure (MOF) involving the heart, lungs, and kidneys. This further worsens the prognosis and overall survival rate of patients with SAP [4,5]. Therefore, ...

Exposure of peripheral blood mononuclear cells to unsaturated fatty acids at concentrations lower than those in the serum during SAP, results in their necro-apoptotic cell death (71). In Vivo Models of Obesity Associated Severe Acute Pancreatitis. Role of Intra Pancreatic Fat (IPF) in Pancreatic Necrosis. Histologically, several studies show pancreatic acinar necrosis to border fat necrosis (48, 62, 65, 75, 86). Those studies analyzing intrapancreatic fat in human autopsy samples (4, 48, 62, 68, 85, 86), surgically resected samples (82) and radiological appearance of pancreas (58, 85) show intrapancreatic fat to be increased with BMI. Intrapancreatic fat amounts in obese individuals are on an average, two fold higher than non-obese individuals (85). Analysis of pancreatic adipocyte triglyceride composition in humans showed increasing amounts of unsaturated triglycerides with higher amounts of fat. (79) Pancreatic necrosis fluid collected from obese patients with necrotizing pancreatitis had ...

The team noted that 25% of patients remained sterile postoperatively.. Secondary pancreatic infections and contaminations were both diagnosed after a median of 3 weeks after disease onset.. Early/preoperative multisystem organ failure affecting 2 organs occurred in 35% of Group 1 vs 5% in Group 2, 12% in Group 3, and 7% in Group 4.. The investigators observed that mortality rates were 38%, 3%, 21%, and 7%, in the 4 groups, respectively.. Multiple logistic regression identified early/preoperative multisystem organ failure as a risk factor for secondary pancreatic infections in operatively treated sterile necrosis.. Extent of intrapancreatic necrosis was also a major risk factor to develop secondary pancreatic infections in operatively treated sterile necrosis.. However, the team observed that only early onset multisystem organ failure affecting 2 organs was the main risk factor for death.. Dr Raus team concludes, Early multisystem organ failure and extended intrapancreatic necrosis are risk ...

Our results show that serum IL-10 levels were considerably increased in patients with severe acute pancreatitis compared with those with mild attacks. IL-10 peaked on day one and then progressively decreased in the following days in the severe cases. There are few data in the literature about the behaviour of serum IL-10 in patients with acute pancreatitis. Our results differ from those of Pezzilliet al,16 who showed that, on the first day of acute pancreatitis, serum levels of IL-10 were significantly higher in patients with mild disease than in those with severe disease, whereas in the following days, no significant difference was observed between the two groups. In contrast, Wereszczynska-Siemiatkowska et al 17 showed in a preliminary report that serum IL-10 levels peaked at admission and were higher in severe acute pancreatitis than in mild pancreatitis. The discrepancy in results may be, in part, related to the different criteria used to stage the severity of acute pancreatitis. We ...

Objective To explore the ulinastatin and Mr Qu peptide curative effect in patients with severe acute pancreatitis and hemorrheology in learning. Methods The clinical data of 80 patients with severe acute pancreatitis were retrospectively analyzed, on the basis of treatment the patients can be divided into two groups, namely the octreotide group(single treatment group, n=40) and the octreotide combined ulinastatin group(combination group, n=40), the hemorrheology in patients with two groups of learning, clinical curative effect, adverse reaction and death cases were analyzed. Results The combination therapy group of patients with thrombus length was significantly shorter than single treatment group(P0.05),than the whole blood high shear viscosity, plasma viscosity, platelet adhesion rate were significantly lower than that of single treatment group(P0.05), the total effective rate was 90.0%(36/40) was significantly higher than that of single treatment group was 70.0%(28/40)(P0.05), shock,DIC, acute

Hyperglycemia or Hypoglycemia with Changes in Insulin Regimen: Changes in an insulin regimen (e.g., insulin strength, manufacturer, type, or injection site or method of administration) may affect glycemic control and predispose to hypoglycemia or hyperglycemia. Repeated insulin injections into areas of lipodystrophy or localized cutaneous amyloidosis have been reported to result in hyperglycemia; and a sudden change in the injection site (to an unaffected area) has been reported to result in hypoglycemia. Make any changes to a patients insulin regimen under close medical supervision with increased frequency of blood glucose monitoring. Advise patients who have repeatedly injected into areas of lipodystrophy or localized cutaneous amyloidosis to change the injection site to unaffected areas and closely monitor for hypoglycemia. Adjustments in concomitant anti-diabetic treatment may be needed ...

http://www.yourlawyer.com/practice_areas/defective_drugs>Januvia (sitagliptin) and Janumet (sitagliptin/metformin) have been associated with cases of acute pancreatitis, the Food & Drug Administration (FDA) said today. The agency said it is working with Merck & Co. to update the drugs labels to include information about the pancreatitis cases.. According to the FDA, there have been 88 cases of acute pancreatitis reported in Januvia and Janumet patients between October of 2006 and February of 2009. Hospitalization was reported in 58 (66%) of the patients, 4 of whom were admitted to the intensive care unit (ICU). Two cases of hemorrhagic or necrotizing pancreatitis were identified and both required an extended stay in the hospital with medical management in the ICU. The most common adverse events reported in the 88 cases were abdominal pain, nausea and vomiting.. The agency also said that 19 of the 88 reported cases (21%) of pancreatitis occurred within 30 days of starting sitagliptin or ...

N2 - From July 1994 to October 1995, a prospective study was conducted at the First Department of Surgery, Mie University School of Medicine, to assess the usefulness of a prognosis score based on the Japanese criteria for the severity of acute pancreatitis. Ten patients with severe acute pancreatitis were treated, and all had good outcomes there were no deaths. In selecting early treatment according to the scoring of severity, we suggest that when the prognosis score is 2 or more and the APACHE II score is 8 or more, gallstone pancreatitis should first be treated by biliary drainage, and non-gallstone pancreatitis by peritoneal lavage. When infected pancreatic necrosis is ...

Background: Increased rectal luminal lactate concentration may be associated with the severity of the septic shock and high dose of vasopressors. It suggests hypoperfusion of the gut mucosa. This is potentially associated with bacterial translocation from the gut leading to local and systemic inflammation. In acute pancreatitis (AP) bacterial translocation is considered as the key event leading to infection of necrotic pancreatic tissue and high severity of illness. Methods: We used rectal luminal equilibration dialysis for the measurement of gut luminal lactate in 30 consecutive patients admitted to hospital due to acute pancreatitis to test the hypothesis that a single measurement of rectal luminal lactate predicts the severity of acute pancreatitis, the length of hospital stay, the need of intensive care and ultimately, mortality. We also tested the physiological validity of luminal lactate concentration by comparing it to luminal partial tension of oxygen. Additionally, a comparison between ...

The problem of distinguishing severe and mild disease in patients: The management of acute pancreatitis is complicated by the inability to distinguish patients with mild disease from patients with severe disease during the early stages. Most patients who have complicated courses and who even eventually die from acute pancreatitis initially present with what appears to be mild disease, characterized by the absence of organ failure and/or pancreatic necrosis. It is imperative that clinicians do not label a patient with mild disease within the first 48 hours of admission. This is a common problem leading to substantial morbidity and mortality as patients are often left unmonitored after being falsely labeled as having mild disease. Historically, prospective scoring systems that use clinical criteria have been developed to determine severity in patients with acute pancreatitis. These systems include the Ranson criteria, Imrie/Glasgow criteria, and APACHE score. Unfortunately, these systems are ...

Recurrent acute pancreatitis (RAP) is a clinically significant problem globally. The etiology remains unclear in approximately 10% to 15% of patients despite a thorough workup. Data on natural history and efficacy of treatments are limited. We aimed to establish criteria for diagnosis, evaluate the causative factors, and arrive at a consensus on the appropriate workup and management of patients with RAP. The organizing committee was formed, and a set of questions was developed based on the current evidence, controversies, and topics that needed further research. After a vetting process, these topics were assigned to a group of experts from around the world with special interest in RAP. Data were presented as part of a workshop on RAP organized as a part of the annual meeting of the America Pancreatic Association. Pretest and Posttest questions were administered, and the responses were tabulated by the current Grades of Recommendation Assessment, Development and Evaluation system. The consensus

The overall mission of this laboratory is to determine the mechanism of crosstalk between colonizing bacteria and the developing human intestine immune function. We know from a decade of investigation that for the mucosal immune system in the human intestine at birth to be operational, it must have the stimulus of colonizing bacteria interacting with both epithelial cells and appendages of sub-mucosal dendritic cells extending into the lumen. Using established models for human intestinal development (a fetal cell line, primary fetal enterocytes, organ culture and fetal intestinal xenograft transplants), we have determined that the immature gut produces an excessive inflammatory response to both pathogens and commensal bacteria because of an increased expression of surface toll receptors and an underexpression of negative regulators (e.g., IRAK-M, A-20, etc.). We believe this immaturity of interaction by colonizing bacteria in the human gut accounts for the severe necrotizing enterocolitis ...

In this article, we will discuss the Imaging Studies of Acute Pancreatitis. So, lets get started.. Imaging Studies. i. Radiology: The radiological findings which may be seen on plain X-ray abdomen and X-ray chest. X-ray abdomen is also useful to rule out is other causes of acute abdominal pain such as ruptured viscus and bowel infarction.. ii. Abdominal ultrasound: It is recommended in the emergency ward as an initial diagnostic modality and is very useful in diagnosis and management of acute pancreatitis and its local complications. It is useful in detection of gallstones, helps in identification of pseudocyst and ascites. In the early stage, it may show the swollen gland with periglandular fluid collections.. Endoscopic USG is useful in identifying occult biliary disease (sledge or a small stone) or microlithiasis, is indicated in suspected pancreatitis (severe pain) in persons over the age of 40 years.. iii. CT scan/MRI scan: CT scan shows swollen, edematous gland with obliteration of ...

Computed tomography (CT) should be performed selectively when 1) a patient presents with significant abdominal pain and a broad differential diagnosis which includes acute pancreatitis, or 2) in patients with suspected local complications of acute pancreatitis (e.g. peritonitis, signs of shock, suggestive ultrasound findings). CT for assessment of local complications is most useful after 48-72 hours after the onset of symptoms rather than at the time of admission. Unless contraindicated (e.g. renal dysfunction), intravenous contrast should be given in order to assess for pancreatic necrosis once patients are adequately fluid resuscitated and normovolemia restored ...
