Article Synopsis
- Variants in the PRSS1 and PRSS2 genes are linked to chronic pancreatitis (CP), prompting research into whether a deletion variant affecting two trypsinogen pseudogenes (PRSS3P2 and TRY7) might influence CP risk.
- A study analyzed this deletion in over 4,000 participants from different countries and found that it is associated with a protective effect against CP, especially in French, German, and Japanese populations.
- The research suggests that the deletion enhances the function of remaining genes, leading to regulated PRSS2 expression, which could be crucial in understanding CP susceptibility.
Background: Leishmaniasis in a patient with Wegenerís disease raises the problem of amphotericin toxicity further compromising the pre-existing renal disorder.
Case Report: An anemic patient treated for Wegenerís disease developed visceral leishmaniasis. This renal failure patient was treated with lipid complex amphotericin B and liposomal amphotericin B.
Objectives: HIV infection is associated with increased frequency of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma and Kaposi sarcoma. Like other malignancies, lung cancer has been described in HIV-infected patients although no evidence of a statistical correlation has been reported.
Patients And Methods: We performed a retrospective analysis of 15 HIV-infected patients with lung cancer.
Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography in patients with Billroth II gastrectomy.
Ital J Gastroenterol Hepatol
June 1998
Aim: Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopacreatography and associated therapeutic procedures are widely used in routine clinical practice. The changes in the upper gastrointestinal anatomy after a Billroth II anastomosis may present technical difficulties at endoscopic retrograde cholangiopacreatography.
Methods And Patients: The case records of all patients who underwent endoscopic retrograde cholangiopacreatography at our Unit from January 1985 to December 1995 were reviewed.
Dietary risk factors have been implicated in the development of cholelithiasis. The aim of this study was to determine in a homogeneous French population whether a particular type of diet may be lithogenic. Seventy-six subjects over 30 years of age (26 men, 50 women) with cholelithiasis detected by ultrasound were selected from a population sample of 830 subjects by drawing lots using the polling list.

The aim of this study was to assess the role of endoscopic transpapillary cholecystostomy in inoperable patients with acute cholecystitis.
Methods: Between October 1993 and February 1996, cystic duct cannulation was performed in 15 patients with acute cholecystitis (9 men and 6 women; mean age 74.
