  2. 1. 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

    Abstract : Carc.inoma of the exocrine pancreas is the fifth leading cause of cancer death in the Western world and the survival rate is one of the lowest for cancers of any site. Pancreatic cancer is characterized by pronounced, early cachexia and frequent metabolic complications. READ MORE

  6. 4. CCK-dependent pancreatic regulation and pancreatic functional impact on growth in young pigs

    Author : Sofia Rengman; Biologiska institutionen; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; pancreatin; pig; exocrine pancreatic insufficiency; pancreatic duct ligation; insulin; entero-pancreatic reflex; CCK-receptors; pentagastrin; Exocrine pancreas; cholecystokinin;

    Abstract : The exocrine pancreas is mainly regulated via neuro-hormonal pathways. CCK-dependent regulatory pathways and CCK-receptor subtype involved seem to differ between mammalian species. READ MORE

  7. 5. Regulation of the exocrine pancreas in growing pigs, with special emphasis on entero-pancreatic reflexes
