Objectives: To compare fatigue and quality of life (QOL) between individuals with pancreatogenic diabetes after total pancreatectomy (TP) and pancreaticoduodenectomy (PD).
Sample & Setting: 50 individuals (14 after TP and 36 after PD) were recruited from a pancreatic surgical outpatient department. A final sample of 39 matched individuals (13 after TP and 26 after PD) were included in the final analysis.
Methods & Variables: A comparative cross-sectional approach was used. Variables were fatigue and QOL. The Fatigue Symptom Inventory and European Organisation for the Research and Treatment of Cancer Quality-of-Life Questionnaire-Core 30 were used. Data went through propensity score one-to-two matching. Generalized estimating equation was used to compare fatigue and QOL.
Results: The groups showed no statistically significant difference in fatigue intensity and overall QOL. The TP group had significantly longer fatigue duration, perceived higher interference of functioning, lower physical function, and a higher level of insomnia.
Implications For Nursing: Future studies with a larger sample and longitudinal design will help identify the trajectory of fatigue and QOL in individuals with pancreatogenic diabetes post-TP and PD.

Objective: Aim: To determine the relationship between intra-abdominal hypertension and the volume of pancreatogenic necrosis in patients with acute necrotizing pancreatitis.
Patients And Methods: Materials and Methods: A prospective single-center study of 32 adults with acute necrotizing pancreatitis (ANP). A correlation was made between the maximum intra-abdominal pressure (IAP) in the early phase of the disease and the area of pancreatic necrosis and extrapancreatic necrosis (EPN) according to CT data.

Article Synopsis
- Diabetes mellitus type 3 is a type of diabetes that arises as a result of diseases affecting the exocrine pancreas, which is rare and accounts for 15-20% of diabetes cases in India and Southeast Asia.
- A case report describes a patient who experienced diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) along with very high blood sugar levels (405 mg/dl) and a significantly elevated HbA1c (13.7%).
- Imaging (CT scan) showed chronic calcific pancreatitis with issues like intraductal stones and a dilated pancreatic duct, linking the condition to the patient’s diabetes diagnosis.
Autologous Pancreatic Islet Cell Transplantation Following Pancreatectomy for Pancreas Diseases Other Than Chronic Pancreatitis: A 15-y Study of the Milan Protocol.

Diabetes Research Institute, IRCCS Ospedale San Raffaele, Milan, Italy.
Background: Pancreatogenic diabetes, a consequence of pancreatic tissue loss following pancreatectomy, poses a significant challenge for patients undergoing pancreatic surgery. Islet autotransplantation (IAT) offers a promising approach to prevent or alleviate pancreatogenic diabetes, but its application has been limited to individuals with painful chronic pancreatitis.
Methods: This study presents a 15-y clinical experience with the Milan Protocol, which expands IAT after pancreatectomy to a broader spectrum of patients with malignant and nonmalignant pancreatic diseases.

Patients with Cystic Fibrosis (CF) are at increased risk of acute (AP) and chronic (CP) pancreatitis, and their complications. The extent of remaining healthy pancreatic parenchyma determines the risk of developing future episodes of pancreatitis, as well as pancreatic exocrine or endocrine insufficiency. Pancreatitis may be the presenting symptom of CF, and genetic testing is especially important in pediatrics.

Background: Duodenum-preserving pancreatic head resection (DPPHR) serves as a surgical intervention for managing benign and low-grade malignant neoplasms located in the head of the pancreas. This surgical approach enables the thorough excision of pancreatic head lesions, reducing the necessity for digestive tract reconstruction and enhancing the patient's quality of life. Performing a minimally invasive DPPHR is a complex surgical procedure, particularly when safeguarding the bile duct and the pancreaticoduodenal arterial arch.
