Article Synopsis
  • Variants in the PRSS1 and PRSS2 genes are linked to chronic pancreatitis (CP), prompting research into whether a deletion variant affecting two trypsinogen pseudogenes (PRSS3P2 and TRY7) might influence CP risk.
  • A study analyzed this deletion in over 4,000 participants from different countries and found that it is associated with a protective effect against CP, especially in French, German, and Japanese populations.
  • The research suggests that the deletion enhances the function of remaining genes, leading to regulated PRSS2 expression, which could be crucial in understanding CP susceptibility.

Background And Aims: Post-endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography acute pancreatitis (PAP) and post-sphincterotomy hemorrhage are known adverse events of post-endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography. Various electrosurgical currents can be used for endoscopic sphincterotomy. The extent to which this influences adverse events remains unclear.

Background And Study Aims: The coronavirus 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has significantly affected medical care. We surmise that the number of urgent endoscopies outside regular working hours in the Paris area decreased as a result. The objective of this study was to describe the observed number of acts during the 2020 mandatory period of home isolation, compared to the values in prior years and the expected value for 2020.

Background: Gastrointestinal bleeding is a rare but severe complication of pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma.

Objective: The purpose of this study was to describe the causes and treatments of non-postoperative gastrointestinal bleeding in patients with pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma, and explore the parameters associated with therapeutic effectiveness.

Methods: This was a single-centre observational retrospective study (2000-2017) with data collected from the prospectively coded diagnostic hospital's database system including patients with pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma who had a gastrointestinal bleeding episode.
