Objective: Inroduction: The most common reasons of chronic pancreatitis are alcohol abuse, biliary tract and liver diseases, stomach and duodenum, hyperlipidemia, which is often associated with metabolic syndrome. The aim: to study the effectiveness of using medicine omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids in standard therapy to the correction of lipids and prooxidant-antioxidant disorders in patients with chronic pancreatitis and metabolic syndrome.
Patients And Methods: Materials and methods: The study included 90 patients with chronic pancreatitis with metabolic syndrome. They were divided into two groups: I group (45 patients) received standard treatment; II group (45 patients) along with baseline therapy received medication omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (Omacor) for 2 capsules (1680 mg) for one month.
Results: Results: After treatment the lipid blood spectrum and prooxidant-antioxidant status have improved.
Conclusion: Conclusions: Adding to the complex therapy of patients with chronic pancreatitis and the metabolic syndrome of the medicine omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids helps to improve the lipid and prooxidation-antioxidant status more significantly compared with standard baseline therapy.

Hemorrhagic pleural effusion as the sole manifestation of pancreatitis is exceedingly rare and often presents diagnostic challenges due to its misleading symptoms. We report the case of an adult male with a large left-sided black pleural effusion secondary to chronic necrotizing pancreatitis. The patient presented with progressive shortness of breath and cough, with a history of alcohol use and a previous diagnosis of acute severe pancreatitis.

Background: This study examines the role and effectiveness of double filtration plasmapheresis (DFPP) in managing hyperlipidemiclipidemic acute pancreatitis (HLAP).
Methods: Comparative analysis was conducted between two groups: one treated with DFPP and one without. Comparative parameters included blood lipid levels, inflammatory factors, vital signs, disease severity scores, and complication rates.

Introduction: Metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) has been linked to pancreatic diseases, but evidence from population-based studies with liver histology is lacking.
Aims And Methods: In this population-based cohort including all Swedish adults (n = 8563) with biopsy-proven MASLD, we aimed to investigate incidences of pancreatic diseases compared with matched reference individuals from the general population (n = 38,858) and full siblings (n = 6696). Using Cox proportional hazard models, we calculated multivariable adjusted hazard ratios (aHRs) and confidence intervals (CIs).
