Acute pancreatitis is a reversible inflammatory condition of the pancreas. It usually develops on the basis of trauma, structural abnormalities, and chronic systemic diseases. A definitive causal correlation between a drug and acute pancreatitis is quite difficult for clinicians. Drugs play a vital role in the etiology in approximately 10% of children with pancreatitis. More than 50 drugs including angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors have been reported to cause pancreatic damage. There was no pediatric case report developed pancreatitis following perindopril use. A pediatric case of pancreatitis following perindopril intake was presented in this article to emphasize pancreatitis, which is one of the complications that may occur after drug intake.

Assessment of body composition and prediction of infectious pancreatic necrosis via non-contrast CT radiomics and deep learning.
Front Microbiol
December 2024
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.
Computed Tomographic Findings in Lemmel Syndrome: A Rare Cause of Obstructive Jaundice.

November 2024
Radiology, Government Medical College & Hospital, Jammu, Jammu, IND.
Introduction: Obstructive jaundice resulting from a duodenal diverticulum is known as Lemmel syndrome. Lemmel syndrome should be included in the differential diagnosis in patients presenting with obstructive jaundice in the absence of choledocholithiasis, mass, or a stricture.
Aims And Objectives: To describe the computed tomography (CT) findings in patients with Lemmel syndrome.

Background/objective: Genetic causes of hypertriglyceridemia like familial chylomicronemia syndrome can be overlooked in everyday practice. We report a patient with a rare genetic mutation, highlighting the importance of genetic testing for timely diagnosis and prevention of complications.
Case Report: A 45-year-old Hispanic female presented with serum triglyceride levels of 749 mg/dL, refractory to rosuvastatin 10 mg daily and omega-3 ethyl esters 2 g daily.

Background/objective: Diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) is typically but not exclusively seen in patients with a history of diabetes mellitus.
Case Report: This is a case of 39 year-old male who was diagnosed with acute pancreatitis based on characteristic symptoms and positive CT findings on presentation. Laboratory testing revealed elevated serum glucose 251 mg/dL, low serum bicarbonate 8 mmol/L, increased anion gap 21, and elevated serum beta-hydroxybutyrate 9.
Misfolding PRSS1 variant p.Ala61Val in a case of suspected intrauterine pancreatitis.
Pancreatology
December 2024
Department of Surgery, University of California Los Angeles, Los Angeles, CA, USA. Electronic address:
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.
