Article Synopsis
- Acute pancreatitis (AP) is a serious and increasingly common health issue, with a 63% rise in incidence globally over the past two decades, primarily caused by factors like gallstones, alcohol, and genetics.
- A study analyzed genetic material from 301 AP patients and 184 healthy controls to identify mutations in specific gene regions, revealing several novel mutations linked to AP risks and variations in the carboxypeptidase gene.
- The research found certain mutations associated with an increased risk of developing AP, while others appeared to provide protective effects, indicating that genetic variability significantly influences the likelihood of AP onset.
Background: The evolution of SARS-CoV-2 has been observed from the very beginning of the fight against COVID-19, some mutations are indicators of potentially dangerous variants of the virus. However, there is no clear association between the genetic variants of SARS-CoV-2 and the severity of COVID-19. We aimed to analyze the genetic variability of RdRp in correlation with different courses of COVID-19.

The aim of the study was to demonstrate clear differences in the pathogenic properties of urine-derived compared to other extraintestinal clinical isolates (derived from: blood, lower respiratory tracts, sputum, reproductive tract, body fluids, perianal pus, other pus, wound, postoperative wound and other sources).
Methods: The collection of 784 isolates was collected from various materials of hospitalized patients.
We report the first use of a fully articulating introducer called the Total Control Introducer (TCI) in combination with a hyperangulated video laryngoscope (VL) to perform an awake intubation in a patient with a history of difficult intubation. After appropriate airway topicalisation, a VL with a hyperangulated blade was inserted to visualise the glottis. A TCI articulating introducer was then used to dynamically navigate through the oropharynx into the trachea.
