Objectives: This study aimed to identify the risk factors for acute pancreatitis (AP) in young adults in their 20s based on data from the nationwide cohort in South Korea.
Materials And Methods: From the 2009 national health examination database of South Korea, a total of 471,098 individuals between the ages of 20 and 29 were analyzed. To identify the newly developed AP, the linked claims database was used.
Results: The incidence rates of AP were 18.8 and 9.8 per 100,000 person-years in male and female participants, respectively. Alcohol consumption and smoking were associated with the heightened risk of AP. The risk of AP development was increased as daily alcohol consumption increased. In addition, ex-smokers and current smokers showed higher AP risk than never smokers. Hypertriglyceridemia and obesity were associated with the increased AP risk as well. Compared with female participants, male participants showed a higher risk of AP in univariate analysis but showed a lower risk of AP in multivariate analysis.
Conclusions: In the young adult population, alcohol consumption, smoking, hypertriglyceridemia, and obesity were associated with an elevated risk of developing AP. It is important to identify and manage the modifiable AP risk factors in young adults to minimize the socioeconomic burden of AP.

Background: Near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) enables a non-invasive measurement of tissue oxygen saturation (StO) in regions illuminated by near-infrared lights. Vascular occlusion test (VOT) serves as a model to artificially induce forearm ischemia-reperfusion. The combination of StO monitoring and VOT allows for dynamic evaluation of the balance between oxygen delivery and consumption in tissue, as well as the functional reserve of microcirculation.

Background: The Compress is designed to achieve bone formation and stability by applying pressure at the bone-implant interface, minimizing the likelihood of aseptic loosening, which is a complication of stem implants. Herein, we report two cases of implant failure using the Compress.
Case Presentation: Case 1 describes a 36 year-old Japanese man who underwent extraarticular tumor resection, Compress arthroplasty, and reconstruction with a gastrocnemius flap after preoperative chemotherapy for a secondary malignant giant cell tumor in the right distal femur.

Research Group: Implementation Research, Bernhard Nocht Institute for Tropical Medicine, Hamburg, Germany.
Background: Adequate knowledge and awareness regarding diseases are essential for appropriate, high-quality healthcare. Female Genital Schistosomiasis (FGS) is a non-sexually transmitted gynaecological disease that is caused by the presence of Schistosoma haematobium eggs in the female genital tract and the resulting immune response that causes tissue damage. It is estimated to affect 56 million women, mostly in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA), where healthcare workers (HCWs) have limited awareness and knowledge of FGS.

Background: Despite advancements in Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) treatment and care, undernutrition remains a significant concern, accelerating disease progression and risk of Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome (AIDS)-related deaths. The nutritional status of second-line antiretroviral treatment (SLART) users in Ethiopia has not been thoroughly investigated. So, this study aimed to assess the nutritional status of HIV/AIDS patients who were on SLART and its associated factors in Northern Ethiopia.
