A Rare Case of Pancreatic Ascites Secondary to Chronic Pancreatitis.

Authors:

J Investig Med High Impact Case Rep 2022 Jan-Dec;10:23247096221103379

Pancreatic ascites refer to continuous leakage of pancreatic secretions in the peritoneum leading to accumulation of pancreatic fluid in the peritoneal cavity. Although literature on the incidence of pancreatic ascites and presenting signs and symptoms is scarce, it may be seen in patients with chronic alcoholic pancreatitis. Patients typically present with acute chronic pancreatitis and new-onset ascites, with or without abdominal pain. A diagnostic paracentesis is usually the first step to determine the etiology of the ascites. Mild cases may resolve with conservative management. Optimization of nutrition status is an important factor to reduce morbidity and mortality. More severe cases or cases refractory to conservative management may require endoscopic or surgical intervention. This case report describes a rare presentation of pancreatic ascites in a 35-year-old female.

Chylothorax is a lymphatic fluid, which is contained in the pleural cavity. Chylothorax has a typical milky white fluid appearance and is diagnosed by triglyceride concentrations >110 mg/dL. The combination of chylothorax with chylous ascites is a rare condition that is difficult to manage. Read More

Intern Med 2022 1;61(15):2255-2261. Epub 2022 Aug 1.

Department of Gastrointestinal Medical Oncology, National Hospital Organization Shikoku Cancer Center, Japan.

Objective S-1 and modified FOLFIRINOX (mFFX) were often used as the second-line chemotherapies after failure of gemcitabine plus nab-paclitaxel (GnP) in unresectable pancreatic cancer (UPC) until nanoliposomal irinotecan plus 5-fluorouracil/leucovorin therapy was approved as an alternative in Japan in 2020. However, the clinical outcomes of S-1 and mFFX after GnP have scarcely been reported. Therefore, we retrospectively studied them. Read More

Panorama of multidetector-row computed tomography findings of carcinoma gall bladder - A retrospective observational study.

Authors:
Sudipta Mohakud Simran Sidhu Nerbadyswari Deep Suprava Naik

J Cancer Res Ther 2022 Apr-Jun;18(3):661-667

Department of Radiodiagnosis, All India Institute of Medical Sciences, Bhubaneswar, Odisha, India.

Background: Carcinoma of the gall bladder (Ca GB) has marked ethnic and geographical variations with a broad spectrum of imaging findings on multidetector-row computed tomography (MDCT). We aim to study the spectrum of the imaging findings of Ca GB on MDCT in an Eastern Indian hospital as these imaging findings help in accurate diagnosis and staging of this lethal disease.

Materials And Methods: The MDCT images of 100 biopsy-proven cases of adenocarcinoma of GB performed from January 1, 2017, to December 31, 2018, in our hospital were retrospectively reviewed by two experienced radiologists blinded to the diagnosis. Read More

Department of Gastroenterology and Hepatology, Advanced Endoscopy Unit, University of South Alabama, Mobile, AL, USA.

Background: Radiofrequency ablation (RFA) has been used to treat various abdominal tumors including pancreatic tumors. Multiple approaches such as laparoscopic, open, and percutaneous have been used for pancreatic tissue ablation. More recently, endoscopic ultrasound (EUS)-guided RFA has emerged as a new technique for pancreatic tissue ablation. Read More

A 57-year-old man with no family history of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) or diabetes was diagnosed with ALS, and placed in long-term care where an artificial respirator with tracheotomy was used. He was fed through a gastric fistula tube. He gradually lost the ability to communicate, and computed tomography revealed advanced atrophy of the frontotemporal lobe. Read More
