Effect of Synbiotics in Reducing the Systemic Inflammatory Response and Septic Complications in Moderately Severe and Severe Acute Pancreatitis: A Prospective Parallel-Arm Double-Blind Randomized Trial.

Aim: This study aimed at evaluating the efficacy of synbiotics in reducing septic complications in moderately severe and severe acute pancreatitis.

Methods: This was a prospective, parallel-arm, double-blinded superiority randomized control study. All patients with moderately severe and severe acute pancreatitis were included in the study.

Evaluation of Acoustic Radiation Force Impulse Imaging in Differentiating Benign and Malignant Cervical Lymphadenopathy.

Background: The aim of this study was to assess the diagnostic role of acoustic radiation force impulse imaging (ARFI) in differentiating benign and malignant cervical nodes.

Methods: This was a diagnostic accuracy cross-sectional study. All patients who underwent ultrasound-guided fine-needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) of cervical nodes were included.

Isolated internal iliac artery infected pseudoaneurysm occlusion using endovascular coil embolisation.

A 34-year-old man presented with painful swelling in the right gluteal region. The MRI showed right sacroiliitis and adjacent intramuscular abscess. The abscess was drained by a pigtail insertion followed by incision and drainage.

Diagnostic role of shear wave elastography for differentiating benign and malignant breast masses.

Background: Use of B-mode ultrasound (US) may not obviate the need for diagnosis by histopathology, which is an invasive technique and remains the gold standard. These limitations are being overcome with the advent of shear wave elastography (SWE).

Objectives: To assess the diagnostic role of SWE parameters and combined SWE and B-mode US in diagnosing malignant breast lesions.

Efficacy of Pregabalin and Antioxidants Combination in Reducing Pain in Chronic Pancreatitis: A Double Blind Randomized Trial.

Background: In patients with chronic pancreatitis (CP), pain relief is a dilemma. Antioxidants with pregabalin therapy have been reported to be useful. Hence, this study was carried out to determine the efficacy of the combination of antioxidant and pregabalin therapy in reducing pain in patients with CP.
