All the patients who underwent WP at our institution between August 2007 and December 2019 were retrospectively reviewed. Impact of PBD and the stent-surgery interval on the postoperative clinical outcome of WP were analyzed.

Short- and long-term outcome of Frey procedure for chronic pancreatitis in adults.

Objective: To report our experience with Frey procedure (FP) for chronic pancreatitis (CP) in adults.

Methods: Adult patients with CP, who underwent a FP between August 2007 and July 2018, were retrospectively reviewed.

Results: Of the total 138 patients, 95 (69%) were male.

Transcriptome analysis identifies putative multi-gene signature distinguishing benign and malignant pancreatic head mass.

Background: Most often, the patients with pancreatic diseases are presented with a mass in pancreatic head region and existing methods of diagnosis fail to confirm whether the head mass is malignant or benign. As subsequent management of the disease hugely depends on the correct diagnosis, we wanted to explore possible biomarkers which could distinguish benign and malignant pancreatic head masses.

Methods: In order to address that gap, we performed a case-control study to identify genome-wide differentially expressed coding and noncoding genes between pancreatic tissues collected from benign and malignant head masses.

Valproic Acid-Induced Severe Acute Pancreatitis with Pseudocyst Formation: Report of a Case.

Valproic acid is the most widely used anti-epilep-tic drug in children, and it is probably the most frequent cause of drug-induced acute pancreatitis. Outcomes for patients with valproic acid-associated pancreatitis vary from full recovery after discontinuation of the drug to severe acute pancreatitis and death. Here, we present a case of valproic acid-induced severe acute pancreatitis with pseudocyst formation in a 10-year-old girl with cerebral palsy and generalized tonic-clonic seizure.
