A 16-year-old female with new-onset diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) developed acute pancreatitis and hypertriglyceridemia within 24 hours after admission. Her insulin regimen was continued after resolution of DKA, and her pancreatitis with hypertriglyceridemia showed resolution. We are presenting a case of pediatric DKA with hypertriglyceridemia and pancreatitis treated with extended insulin.

Department of Laboratory Medicine, Shengjing Hospital of China Medical University, Shenyang, China.
Aim: The current study aims to delineate subcutaneous adipose tissue (SAT), visceral adipose tissue (VAT), the sacrospinalis muscle, and all abdominal musculature at the L3-L5 vertebral level from non-contrast computed tomography (CT) imagery using deep learning algorithms. Subsequently, radiomic features are collected from these segmented images and subjected to medical interpretation.
Materials And Methods: This retrospective analysis includes a cohort of 315 patients diagnosed with acute necrotizing pancreatitis (ANP) who had undergone comprehensive whole-abdomen CT scans.

Misfolding PRSS1 variant p.Ala61Val in a case of suspected intrauterine pancreatitis.

Background/objectives: Genetic variants in PRSS1 encoding human cationic trypsinogen are associated with hereditary pancreatitis. The clinically frequent variants exert their pathogenic effect by increasing intrapancreatic trypsin activity, while a distinct subset of variants causes disease via mutation-induced trypsinogen misfolding and endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress. Here, we report a novel misfolding PRSS1 variant.
