Objectives: The aim of this study was to evaluate the usefulness of the Bedside Index for Severity in Acute Pancreatitis (BISAP) in the early prediction of severity and mortality in AP.
Methods: The medical records of all patients with acute pancreatitis (AP) admitted to our institution between January 2008 and July 2010 were reviewed retrospectively. Severe AP was defined as the persistence of organ failure for more than 48 hours. The capacity of the BISAP score to predict severity and death was evaluated using linear-by-linear association. The predictive accuracy of the BISAP and Ranson score was measured as the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC).
Results: Of 299 consecutive patients, 22 (7.4%) were classified as having severe AP, and 8 (2.7%) died. There were statistically significant trends for increasing severity (P < 0.001) and mortality (P < 0.001) with increasing BISAP. The AUC for severity predicted by BISAP was 0.762 (95% confidence interval, 0.631-0.893) and by Ranson score was 0.804 (0.717-0.892). The AUC for mortality predicted by BISAP was 0.940 (0.863-1.018) and by Ranson score was 0.861 (0.734-0.988).
Conclusions: We confirmed that BISAP is an accurate means of risk stratification in AP within 24 hours of presentation.

Unlabelled: Di(2-ethhylhexyl) phthalate (DEHP) is a common plastic rubberizer. DEHP leaches from plastic matrices and is under increasing scrutiny as numerous studies have linked it to negative human health manifestations. Coxsackievirus B3 (CVB) is a human pathogen that typically causes subclinical infections but can sometimes cause severe diseases such as pancreatitis, myocarditis, and meningoencephalitis.

Acute pancreatitis (AP), induced by tetracycline, a widely used antibiotic, poses significant clinical and toxicological challenges, yet its molecular mechanisms remain unclear. This study aims to promote drug toxicology strategies for the effective investigation of the putative toxicity and potential molecular mechanisms of antibiotic drugs through the study of tetracycline in AP. Using the SwissTargetPrediction, SEA Search, Super-PRED, GeneCards, Drugbank, Online Mendelian Inheritance in Man (OMIM), and Therapeutic Target Database (TTD), we identified 259 potential targets associated with tetracycline exposure and AP.

Pancreatic cancer remains one of the most lethal forms of cancer. Currently, there is a lack of effective drug treatments for pancreatic cancer. However, as a newly discovered form of non-apoptotic cell death, ferroptosis has garnered increasing attention in relation to pancreatic cancer.

: Drawing upon over twenty years of clinical experience in endoscopic and endosonographic procedures, along with comprehensive literature research, we present an overview on EUS-guided pancreatography and pancreatic duct drainage (EUS-PD) as an alternative approach, encompassing indications, procedural methods, and outcomes, including complications and the success rate. Narrative review. (corner points): EUS-PD is indicated for cases, for which conventional methods are ineffective due to altered abdominal anatomy of the upper gastrointestinal (GI) tract, such as congenital or postoperative conditions that prevent access to the papilla or pancreatoenteric anastomosis.

Pancreaticobiliary maljunction (PBMJ) has a long common channel (CC) that causes pancreaticobiliary reflux (PBR), which has been implicated in gallstones, cholangiocarcinoma, and pancreatitis. By contrast, PBR has occurred in cases with normal and longer CCs than normal but shorter than PBMJ. This pathophysiology has been primarily reported in adults and rarely in children.
