  • Chemical Pancreatectomy Treats Chronic Pancreatitis While Preserving Endocrine Function in Preclinical Models
    Chemical pancreatectomy treats chronic pancreatitis while preserving endocrine function in preclinical models Mohamed Saleh, … , Krishna Prasadan, George Gittes J Clin Invest. 2020. https://doi.org/10.1172/JCI143301. Research In-Press Preview Endocrinology Gastroenterology Chronic pancreatitis affects over 250,000 people in the US and millions worldwide. It is associated with chronic debilitating pain, pancreatic exocrine failure, high-risk of pancreatic cancer, and usually progresses to diabetes. Treatment options are limited and ineffective. We developed a new potential therapy, wherein a pancreatic ductal infusion of 1-2% acetic acid in mice and non-human primates resulted in a non-regenerative, near-complete ablation of the exocrine pancreas, with complete preservation of the islets. Pancreatic ductal infusion of acetic acid in a mouse model of chronic pancreatitis led to resolution of chronic inflammation and pancreatitis-associated pain. Furthermore, acetic acid-treated animals showed improved glucose tolerance and insulin secretion. The loss of exocrine tissue in this procedure would not typically require further management in patients with chronic pancreatitis because they usually have pancreatic exocrine failure requiring dietary enzyme supplements. Thus, this procedure, which should be readily translatable to humans through an endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP), may offer a potential innovative non-surgical therapy for chronic pancreatitis that relieves pain and prevents the progression of pancreatic diabetes.

  • JOURNEY to HEALTH, a Hospital Discharge Data Brief for the NRPC
    JOURNEY TO HEALTH An Analysis of Hospital-Discharged Medical Visits for the Greater Nashua and Milford, NH Region Data Brief BACKGROUND Figure 1: In-State Hospital Choice Among NRPC Residents All licensed hospitals in New Hampshire report patient-level discharge information to the New Hampshire Department of Health and Human Services (NH DHHS), who also collects data from select rehabilitation hospitals, rehabilitation and psychiatric units within acute care hospitals, and from free-standing ambulatory surgical treat- ment centers that are part of a hospital. These discharge data, known as the New Hampshire Uniform Healthcare Facility Discharge Data Set (UHFDDS), can be released to entities upon request for independent study and analysis. The following analyses are based on a custom report of aggregated UHFDD data for the NRPC region for the years 2016 and 2018. 2018 repre- sents the most current data available from NH DHHS, and 2016 is the latest year for which vis- its to out-of-state facilities is included. Trip types include Inpatient, Outpatient, Emergency Department, and Specialty, but do not distin- guish trips by more specific diagnostic code. For these category breakdowns that resulted in greater than 100 trips, the data could be further grouped into the following age cohorts: 0-19, 20 -40, 45-64, 65-74, and 75+.
