Study Population

Abdominal ultrasound examinations (AUEs) are commonly used in the diagnostic evaluation of canine acute pancreatitis (AP). The purpose of this retrospective study was to evaluate and monitor the ultrasonographic changes observed in dogs with clinically suspected AP on consecutive AUEs. The study population was constituted by 38 client-owned dogs hospitalized for no less than 48 h from January 2016 to December 2019. Dogs included in this study were suspected of AP based on the clinical examination and abnormal rapid specific canine pancreatic lipase test performed at admission. Dogs were submitted to two AUEs, the first on the first day of hospitalization, and the second between 40–52 h after the first one. Twelve dogs had both AUEs suggestive of AP. Fourteen dogs received an ultrasonographic diagnosis of AP exclusively on the second AUE. Twelve dogs remained negative on both the first and the second AUE. In 26 out of 38 patients the second AUE was suggestive of AP. If a patient is suspected of AP, it is advisable to carry out ultrasonographic monitoring at least within the first 52 h after admission, since ultrasonographic signs of AP may only become observable later after hospitalization.

One of the affected organs in cystic fibrosis (CF) is the pancreas, mainly translated into exocrine pancreatic insufficiency. Although rare, acute pancreatitis (AP) has been described, mostly in pancreatic sufficient patients. Objectives. Estimating AP prevalence in CF pediatric population of the I.N.S.M.C. „AlessandrescuRusescu” CF centre. Material and methods. 5 year retrospective study (2011-2016) including INSMC CF centre pediatric population aged 3-18 years. PA diagnosis was established on the presence of minimum 2 criteria between: characteristic abdominal pain, x3 normal value for age elevation of amylase/lipase, medical imaging evaluation suggestive for AP. Patients were evaluated with different criteria including PIP score of predicting AP risk. Outcomes. 48 patients were included with a slight female predominance (54%). 3 of them presented diagnostic criteria for AP (6,25%), all heaving pancreatic insufficiency and high PIP score (low risk of developing AP); 2 of them have low compliance with pancreatic enzymes substitution therapy; one of them presented recurrent episodes of AP. Conclusions. AP is a rare CF complication. It can be easily missed due to a large number of abdominal pain and emesis causes in CF patients. Although it is usually associated with pancreatic sufficiency, all our patients were pancreatic insufficient.

Background and objective: Pancreas is a large organ behind the stomach that produces digestive enzymes and a number of hormones. Pancreatitis is a condition characterized by inflammation of the pancreas. When the digestive enzymes are activated before they are released into the small intestine, they begin attacking the pancreas, and pancreatic damage happens. This study aimed to evaluate the association between pancreatic lipase, gamma-glutamyl transferase, and acute pancreatitis in patients living in Erbil city. Methods: The present study was carried out at the College of Medicine, Hawler Medical University from December 2017 to July 2018. A total of 35 patients with acute pancreatitis and 25 healthy controls were investigated. Examinations of serum pancreatic lipase and gamma glutamyl transferase were carried out spectrophotometrically for both groups using commercial diagnostics kits. Results: The results showed that the mean level of serum pancreatic lipase in patients with pancreatitis was significantly higher (P <0.01)compared to normal healthy control. The mean serum gamma glutamyl transferase was higher in patients with acute pancreatitis when compared to the reference group but not statistically significant. Conclusion: In the frame of this work, we delineate that pancreatic diseases had a significant effect on pancreatic enzymes reflected by a significant increase in serum lipase, whereas the level of gamma glutamyl transferase increased marginally. Keywords: Pancreatitis; Pancreatic lipoprotein lipase; Gamma glutamyl transferase.
