Objective: Acute pancreatitis is a rare disease in pregnant patients. Although it may have serious maternal and fetal consequences, morbidity and mortality rates have decreased recently due to appropriate and rapid treatment with earlier diagnosis. The aim of this study was to evaluate pregnant patients diagnosed with acute pancreatitis.

In addition, stud- ies have been carried out for easier and cheaper markers in recent years. For this purpose, we evaluated the monocyte/high-density lipoprotein ratio of the disease activity.

- * A study from January 2015 to February 2020 found BBS in 36 patients, with 50% developing it within the first month, and serious complications noted in some cases.
- * Most patients (88.9%) were treated successfully with external traction, highlighting its reliability, while proper education for caregivers is crucial to prevent future occurrences and complications.
Introduction: Acute pancreatitis (AP) is one of the urgent diseases of gastroenterology. Due to the growth of the elderly population, the frequency of the disease in the elderly population is also increasing.
Aim: To evaluate the contributing factors of mortality in geriatric patients (age ≥ 65 years) and non-geriatric (age < 65 years) patients.
Background: Ectopic opening of the common bile duct (EOCBD) is a very rare entity. It has been reported in the 3rd or 4th portion of the duodenum, pyloric canal, duodenal bulb, and the stomach.
Objectives: The aim of this study was to evaluate the clinical characteristics, laboratory values and imaging studies of patients with EOCBD into the duodenal bulb retrospectively.
Article Synopsis
- The study evaluates various scoring systems (CTP, MELD, CLIF-SOFA, APACHE II) to determine which best predicts prognosis for ICU patients with hepatic encephalopathy and pre-existing cirrhosis.
- A total of 84 patients were analyzed, with different causes of hepatic encephalopathy noted, and prognosis was assessed based on patient outcomes (discharged or deceased) upon hospital admission.
- The CLIF-SOFA scoring system showed the highest predictive accuracy (AUROC = 0.986), followed closely by APACHE II (0.974), outperforming CTP and MELD scores in terms of prognostic capability.
Background: Acute pancreatitis (AP) is inflammation of the pancreas of various severity ranging from mild abdominal pain to mortality. AP may be classified as acute interstitial edematous pancreatitis (AEP) or acute necrotizing pancreatitis (ANP), according to the revised Atlanta criteria. Most of the patients with AP are AEP (75-85% of patients), while 15-25% of patients have ANP.
