Chronic pancreatitis (CP), an inflammatory disease characterized by irreversible pancreatic changes and progressive fibrosis, significantly impairs patients' quality of life. This systematic review aims to assess the efficacy of antioxidant therapy in enhancing the quality of life of CP patients. Focusing on the role of oxidative stress in CP pathogenesis, we explored several databases for studies evaluating the impact of antioxidant supplementation.

Consequently, it becomes imperative to address pain management through a comparative analysis of stereotactic radiotherapy (SRT) and conventional radiation therapy (CRT), especially in light of the less efficacious improvement achieved solely through pharmacological interventions.
Materials And Methods: A systematic exploration was undertaken on PubMed, the Cochrane Library, and Elsevier's ScienceDirect databases to identify studies that compare Stereotactic Radiotherapy to Conventional radiation therapy for pain management in individuals with metastatic bone cancer.
Article Synopsis
- Approximately 50% of people globally test seropositive for an unspecified infection, prompting a study to evaluate its prevalence in patients with dyspepsia at Jinnah Postgraduate Medical Centre from January to June 2022.
- The study enrolled 180 dyspepsia patients, finding that a significant number experienced symptoms like nausea, flatulence, frequent burping, and epigastric pain, with various risk factors such as higher BMI, smoking, and living in rural areas associated with a higher likelihood of seropositivity.
- Ultimately, the findings suggest that the prevalence of this infection in the population is high, and those with multiple identified risk factors should undergo further medical evaluations.
