Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to evaluate the MRI characteristics of acute pancreatitis (AP) in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) compared to those without diabetes.
- Out of 262 patients analyzed, 53 were found to have T2DM-related AP, showing a higher prevalence of severe conditions like necrotizing pancreatitis, hemorrhage, and organ failure on MRI.
- The results indicate that T2DM-related AP is generally more serious, showing greater severity and a longer hospital stay compared to nondiabetic cases.
To assess the duct-road sign and tumor-to-duct ratio (TDR) in MRI for differentiating pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors (PNETs) from pancreatic ductal-adenocarcinomas (PDACs).Retrospectively reviewed MRI characteristics of 78 pancreatic masses (histopathology-proven 25 PNETs and 53 PDACs). Receiver operating characteristics with TDR and diagnostic performance of the duct-road sign for differential diagnosis were performed.

Methods: Between January 2003 and February 2004, 14 patients with chronic slow-transit constipation and 2 patients with mixed constipation underwent subtotal colectomy with antiperistaltic cecoproctostomy. The following information was collected during follow-up (mean 3 years): number of bowel movement, stool consistency, complications, quality of life and degree of satisfaction.
