BACKGROUND Acute pancreatitis (AP) is an inflammatory pancreatic process, presents different severity degrees [1]. Over the last two decades, there has been a paradigm shift in the management, from surgical to "step up" approach using percutaneous or endoscopic catheter drainage followed by
Acute pancreatitis is an acute inflammatory disease of the pancreas characterized by the sudden onset of abdominal pain, elevated serum amylase, and edema or necrosis of the pancreas. The clinical course of AP is generally mild; however, nearly 25% of patients progress into severe AP which consists
This is prospective, randomized, controlled, multicentre trial. Patients with mild and moderate acute pancreatitis (AP) will be randomly in two groups: group A: with early oral refeeding (EOR) with low fat solid diet (LFSD), started from the first day of admission in the hospital, and group B: with
Endoscopic Retrograde Cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) is a commonly performed endoscopic procedure used to treat pancreato-biliary pathology. Acute pancreatitis is the most common major complication of (ERCP)[1] which is reported to occur in 2-10% of patients overall (ranging from 2-4% in low risk
RFA causes tissue destruction through the application of a high frequency alternating current, generating local temperatures above 60°C and leading to coagulative necrosis. The technique has been widely used in many solid organ tumours and has been shown to result in 5-year survival rates comparable
Post-endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) pancreatitis (PEP) is the most common, serious complication of ERCP. More than 500,000 ERCP procedures are performed from which 25,000 cases of PEP occur in the U.S.A. annually. PEP accounts for significant morbidity and health care
This is a prospective, randomized controlled trial in children with acute pancreatitis, which aims to demonstrate that, compared with the current standard approach of fasting with intravenous fluids, early enteral (oral or nasogastric) feeding with standard diet or formula will improve the following

1.0 BACKGROUND AND HYPOTHESES
Post endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) pancreatitis is defined as the development of epigastric pain radiating to the back accompanied by either an increase in the pancreatic enzymes (amylase and lipase) to greater than three times the upper limit of
Thiazolidinediones (TZDs) are pharmacological ligands for the nuclear receptor peroxisome-proliferator-activated receptor gamma (PPAR-γ). When activated, the receptor binds with response elements on DNA, altering transcription of a variety of genes that regulate carbohydrate and lipid metabolism1.
Commonly consumed vegetable fats and oils are comprised predominantly of TAG, and small amounts of DAG and monoacylglycerol. TAG consists of 3 fatty acid ester, whereas diacylglycerol oil has 2 fatty acid esters linked to a glycerol backbone. Recently, Watanabe et al., developed a process by which
