INTRODUCTION The incidence of acute pancreatitis (AP) in children has increased significantly in the past two decades. OBJECTIVE All cases of AP, acute recurrent pancreatitis (ARP), and chronic pancreatitis examined between May 2002 and May 2012 at Hospital de Braga, Portugal, were reviewed. MATERIAL AND METHODS Patients were identified by searching the hospital's electronic discharge recor...

Abdominal bleeding is a lethal complication in acute pancreatitis (AP) and it is commonly described as a late event. However, spontaneous intra-abdominal bleeding could occur very early but no study focusing on this phenomenon was published yet. In this study, 1137 AP patients were retrospectively screened and 24 subjects suffering early spontaneous bleeding (ESB) were selected. Meanwhile, a 1:...

The water quality of Suoi Hai reservoir, the largest reservoir in Hanoi city, is being threatened by human activities surrounding area, as reported press. trophic status result both natural eutrophication and nutrient inputs from anthropogenic sources, particularly leachate a lakeside waste treatment plant. This study aims to identify changes state over space time. Data chlorophyll-a concentrat...

Background: The diagnosis of axial spondyloarthritis (axSpA) is challenging and hindered by delay. There may be an opportunity to identify sacroiliitis for further rheumatology review in inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) patients who undergo Computed Tomography (CT) non-musculoskeletal (MSK) indications. Objectives: To what proportion IBD underwent abdominopelvic CT non-MSK indications have axSp...

Abstract The study was conducted to assess the spatial and temporal variations of trophic state condition Lake Bunyonyi between October 2019 September 2020. Secchi depth (SD), total phosphorus (TP) chlorophyll- a (Chl- ) concentration were measured aid quantification lake using Carlson index (CTSI). (TSI) values based on SD, TP Chl- 60.82 ± 5.35, 68.99 11.04 61.74 7.51, respectively. March 2020...

Background: Acute pancreatitis (AP) is challenging, varying from subtle edema to parenchymal necrosis in severity. Several clinical and radiological scoring criteria have been formulated over the years predict disease intensity of AP guide monitoring intervention. This study aimed establish diagnostic accuracy high Balthazar’s computed tomography index (CTSI) predicting outcomes terms mortality...

Dear Sir: We read the original article regarding assessment of the predictive value of the CT severity index (CTSI) for the severity of acute pancreatitis by Gürleyic et al. with great interest [1]. The purpose of this study was to make a comparative assessment of the accuracy of the CTSI proposed by Baltazar et al. [2], the APACHE II score and serum CRP concentrations in predicting the severit...
