BACKGROUND
Leptospirosis is a potentially fatal disease which can cause multi-organ dysfunction. It can rarely present as acute pancreatitis. This is the first ever report of leptospirosis presenting with acute pancreatitis and myocarditis followed by diffuse pulmonary hemorrhages to the best of our
BACKGROUND
Endothelin peptides are polykines with strong vasoconstrictor properties. We have previously shown that endothelin antagonism (PD145065) reduces the local severity of acute pancreatitis. We now investigated the effect of endothelin antagonism on systemic inflammation in a model of acute
Massive hemorrhage associated with pancreatitis is a rare but frequently lethal complication. Fifteen patients with this complication are presented. Bleeding occurred in four patients with necrotizing pancreatitis, in three patients with pancreatic abscesses, in seven patients with pseudocysts, and
Purpose: To evaluate the efficacy and safety of transcatheter arterial embolization (TAE) for pseudoaneurysms occurring secondary to pancreatitis or because of leakage of pancreatic juice after pancreatectomy.
Major vessel hemorrhage in endoscopic, endonasal skull-base surgery is a rare but potentially fatal event. Surgical simulation models have been developed to train surgeons in the techniques required to manage this complication. This mixed-methods study aims to quantify the stress responses the model
The case is a 83-year-old woman who came to our hospital with melena and epigastralgia as chief complaints, presenting pre-shock state with high serum amylase value. ERP revealed diffuse dilatation of pancreatic duct and cyst of the accessory pancreatic duct. Endoscopy showed hemorrhage of the
BACKGROUND
Hemorrhage from pancreatic pseudocyst is one of the serious complications of chronic pancreatitis. We experienced intracystic hemorrhage from a huge pancreatic pseudocyst and successfully treated it with distal pancreatectomy.
METHODS
A 65-year-old-man with a history of alcohol abuse was
In a case of bilateral recurrent haemorrhagic pleural effusion due to asymptomatic pancreatitis the diagnosis was suggested by the presence of amylase in the pleural fluid when other possible causes had been excluded. Abdominal computed tomography and laparotomy confirmed the diagnosis. No
Acute hemorrhagic pancreatitis was produced in pig to study serum concentration of elastase and its physiological role. Pancreatitis was induced in two groups of young pigs by the injection of autologous bile. One group was injected with autologous bile (0.5 ml/kg) at high pressure, and the second
