Article Synopsis
- Acute pancreatitis (AP) is an inflammatory condition with various causes, including drugs, which account for a small percentage of cases; diagnosing drug-induced AP is often complicated due to a lack of specific symptoms.
- A study conducted at Hospital Universitari de Bellvitge analyzed 38 patients with suspected drug-induced AP from June 2007 to March 2023, revealing that most cases were linked to a single drug, with azathioprine and atorvastatin being the most common culprits.
- The findings suggest that increased awareness and a proposed diagnostic algorithm may improve the identification and management of drug-induced pancreatitis, highlighting the need for drug assessment when diagnosing AP.

An observational comparative study was designed to assess the fatty acids profile in erythrocyte membrane phospholipids of 30 preterm neonates (<32 weeks gestation) at birth and after 1 month of life versus a convenience sample of 10 infants born at term. The panel of fatty acids included the families and components of saturated fatty acids (SFAs), monounsaturated fatty acids (MUFAs), and n-6 and n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) as well as enzyme activity indexes and fatty acids ratios. At birth, the comparison of fatty acid families between preterm and term neonates showed a significantly higher content of SFAs and n-6 PUFAs, and a significantly lower content of MUFAs and n-3 PUFAs in the preterm group.
