Acute pancreatitis, a dangerous disease that can adversely affect life. Therefore, you should take the initiative to take care of and protect your health with a healthy lifestyle, diet and lifestyle. If there is a suspicion of signs of illness, it is necessary to visit a medical facility to be examined and apply supportive measures to treat acute pancreatitis.

Pancreatic carcinoma (PDAC) carries significant morbidity and mortality and remains one of the most difficult malignancies to treat. Individual patient and tumor factors need to be taken into account to provide an optimal, personalized approach. The following article evaluates the response of pancreatic ductal carcinoma after neoplastic adjuvant therapy

Sphincter of Oddi remains the gold standard for diagnosing sphincter of Oddi dysfunction. It is often combined with a diagnostic ERCP and includes manometric catheter adjustment. A triple-lumen catheter that allows continuous suction of the pancreatic duct may reduce the risk of post-procedural pancreatitis.

Gallbladder (GB) dysfunction is a motility disorder caused primarily by metabolic abnormalities or by alterations in primary motility. Sphincter of Oddi (SO) dysfunction includes motor abnormalities of the biliary or pancreatic sphincter of Oddi.

Acute pancreatitis is the major complication of sphincterotomy. Increased intraductal pressure, overfilling of the ductal system, dyscoagulability, and repeated pancreatic duct spasm and trauma have all been implicated as etiological factors, possibly due to impaired pancreatic duct drainage.

Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography is an endoscopic technique used to examine and treat diseases of the biliary tract, pancreatic duct, and gallbladder. The bile ducts are the tubes that carry bile from the liver and gallbladder; the pancreatic duct carries pancreatic juice from the pancreas. Both of these tubes empty into the duodenum, which is the first part of the small intestine. So how is endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography performed and what should be noted when passing the scope to the ampulla of Vater?

The etiology of sphincter of Oddi dysfunction is usually due to local scarring secondary to gallstone removal or surgical manipulation or to inflammatory invasion from a nearby duodenal ulcer or suprapapillary pancreatitis. Whether or not primary papillary stenosis is present is controversial although the historical finding of adenitis is likely to be the cause.
