In the United States, acute pancreatitis is one of the most common gastrointestinal conditions that results in hospital admission. Necrotizing pancreatitis is a form of acute pancreatitis that can lead to various local and systemic complications. It is also associated with a high risk of mortality and morbidity without prompt intervention. In this case report, we discuss the case of a 33-year-old female with a history of alcoholism hospitalized with necrotizing pancreatitis due to hypertriglyceridemia. Our goal was to promptly identify the case by evaluating the signs and symptoms and intervening to prevent the associated complications. Our other objective was to change the diet and lifestyle of the patient to prevent the recurrence of necrotizing pancreatitis and readmission for the same reason.

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.

This is the first time HPAIV has been identified in the common crane in Serbia, leading to mass mortality of this bird species.
Methods: To understand the pathological impact of HPAIV in cranes, we evaluated the pathological changes in the tissues of common cranes.

Background: Patients with acute pancreatitis (AP) have different sites of pancreatic involvement. The aim of this study was to investigate the differences in magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) findings and clinical features of different sites of involvement (subtypes) in AP, with a view to complement and complete the classification of AP based on anatomical imaging features.
Methods: We consecutively collected data from inpatients with AP from January 2018 to October 2022 at a tertiary care hospital.
