  2. 1. Carboxylic ester hydrolase in acute pancreatitis : a clinical and experimental study

    Author : Per Jonas Blind; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Pancreatitis; carboxylic ester hydrolase; bile salt-stimulated lipase; lipase; amylase; endoscopic retrograde choledochopancreatography; Guinea pig;

    Abstract : Diagnosis of acute pancreatitis (AP) is erroneous in up to one third of patients when based on clinical criteria and elevated serum amylase values. Furthermore, according to autopsy reports fatal pancreatitis remains clinically undiagnosed in 22 to 86 % of hospitalised patients. READ MORE

  4. 2. Acute Pancreatitis. Biomarkers and radiology assessment

    Author : Hanna Sternby; Kirurgi; []
    Keywords : acute pancreatitis; severity grade; Biomarkers; morphology; classification; radiology assessment; Acute pancreatitis; severity grade; Biomarkers; morphology; classification; radiology assessment;

    Abstract : Background: Acute pancreatitis (AP) is a common and potentially severe disease. Early identification of severity grade is crucial for the outcome of the patient. For study approaches and comparison of inter-institutional data the AP patients need to be uniformly classified. READ MORE

  5. 3. Pancreatitis-Associated Pulmonary Injury

    Author : Xia Zhao; Lund Kirurgi; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; orthopaedics; Surgery; inflammatory mediators; protein kinase C; leukocytes; acute lung injury; abdominal sepsis; acute pancreatitis; traumatology; Kirurgi; ortopedi; traumatologi;

    Abstract : In acute pancreatitis (AP), lung injury is an early occuring and important part of the multiple organ dysfunction syndrome. The mechanisms underlying the development of lung injury though still largely remains unclear. READ MORE

  6. 4. Tissue kallikrein: pathophysiological role in acute pancreatitis

    Author : Mats Bläckberg; Helsingborg Kliniska Vetenskaper; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; acute pancreatitis; aprotinin; alpha-macroglobulin; alpha1-proteinase inhibitor; turn over; kinin B2 receptor; kallidin; bradykinin; Tissue kallikrein; kallistatin; Surgery; orthopaedics; traumatology; Kirurgi; ortopedi; traumatologi;

    Abstract : Tissue kallikrein releases pharmacollogically highly active kinins from kininogen. Many other enzymes may also release kinins. The aim of the study was to clarify the pathophysiological role of tissue kallikrein in acute pancreatitis. Two sensitive and specific radioimmunoassays for porcine and human tissue kallikrein were developed. READ MORE

  7. 5. Acute pancreatitis - severity classification, complications and outcome

    Author : Bodil Andersson; Lund Kirurgi; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; quality of life; costs; exocrine function; endocrine function; risk factors; acute pancreatitis; mortality; severity classification; artificial neural networks; pancreatic pseudocysts; treatment; complications; outcome; long-term follow-up;

    Abstract : Acute pancreatitis, with an annual incidence of approximately 35 per 100 000 inhabitants in Sweden, is in most cases mild and self-limiting. Severe acute pancreatitis, affecting 10-15% of the cases is, however, associated with severe complications and even death. READ MORE
