Introduction: Necrotizing pancreatitis (NP) patients commonly require antibiotic treatment during the several month-long disease course. We hypothesized that Clostridium difficile infection (CDI) is common in NP and significantly impacts outcomes.
Materials And Methods: Retrospective review of 704 NP patients treated at a single-institution (2005-2018).
Results: 10% (67/704) of patients developed CDI a mean 78 days after NP onset. Patients developing CDI experienced increased total hospital days (CDI, 104; No CDI, 42; P < 0.001), readmission rates (CDI, 85%; No CDI, 64%; P = 0.006), and duration of NP (CDI, 248 days; No CDI, 183; P = 0.001). Risk factors for CDI included antibiotic use (OR, 96.2; 95% CI, 5.9-1556.2; P = 0.001) and any organ failure (OR, 2.0; 95% CI, 1.2-3.3, P = 0.008). Mortality was not affected by CDI (CDI, 10%; No CDI, 9%; P = 0.7).
Conclusion: Clostridium difficile infection is common in necrotizing pancreatitis and negatively impacts morbidity and disease recovery.

Background: This study aims to evaluate the clinical efficacy of pancreatic duct stenting in the treatment of SAP, providing reference for clinical diagnosis and treatment.
Methods: A retrospective analysis was conducted on clinical data from patients with SAP admitted to the General Hospital of Ningxia Medical University from June 1, 2019 to December 31, 2022. A total of 51 patients were included (33 males, 18 females).
High Anion Gap Metabolic Acidosis and 5-Oxoprolinuria in a Hospital Setting Induced by Acetaminophen, Sepsis, and Malnutrition: A Case Report.

High anion gap metabolic acidosis (HAGMA) is a common biochemical abnormality in hospitalized patients, often linked to conditions such as lactic acidosis, renal failure, or drug toxicity. A rare etiology, 5-oxoprolinuria, resulting from acetaminophen use, malnutrition, and sepsis, is increasingly recognized in critically ill patients. We report a 29-year-old male with a history of intellectual disability and normal baseline kidney function who was admitted with acute necrotizing pancreatitis and developed severe metabolic acidosis and acute kidney injury (AKI).

Hemosuccus pancreaticus (HP) is a rare, life-threatening cause of upper gastrointestinal bleeding, often linked to chronic pancreatitis and pseudoaneurysm rupture into the pancreatic duct. However, its occurrence in acute necrotizing pancreatitis with decompensated cirrhosis is exceedingly rare and poses significant diagnostic and treatment challenges. We report a case of a 34-year-old male with decompensated alcoholic cirrhosis who developed hemorrhagic shock from HP following acute necrotizing pancreatitis.

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.

Background: Open surgical debridement was the main treatment option for infected pancreatic necrosis (IPN). However, it was associated with significant trauma, leading to a higher mortality rate. With the development of minimally invasive surgery, the step-up treatment principle centered around minimally invasive intervention, significantly reducing the incidence of complications and mortality rates among IPN patients.
