CHRONIC PANCREATITIS: WHAT THE CLINICIAN WANT TO KNOW FROM MRI TEMEL TIRKES, M.D. Department of Radiology and Clinical Sciences, Indiana University School of Medicine, Indianapolis, Indiana 46202, USA Keywords Pancreas; Chronic Pancreatitis; Magnetic Resonance Imaging; Magnetic Resonance Cholangiopancreatography; Computerized Tomography INTRODUCTION Chronic pancreatitis (CP) is a low prevalence disease.1–3 In 2006, there were approximately 50 cases of definite CP per 100,000 population in Olmsted County, MN 3, translating to a total of 150,000–200,000 cases in the US population. Clinical features of CP are highly variable and include minimal, or no symptoms of debilitating pain repeated episodes of acute pancreatitis, pancreatic exocrine and endocrine insufficiency and pancreatic cancer. CP profoundly affects the quality of life, which can be worse than other chronic conditions and cancers.4 Natural history studies for CP originated mainly from centers outside the U.S.5−910,11 conducted during the 1960–1990’s and consisted primarily of males with alcoholic CP. Only one large retrospective longitudinal cohort study has been conducted in the US for patients seen at the Mayo Clinic from 1976–1982.12 While these data provide general insights into disease evolution, it is difficult to predict the probability of outcomes or disease progression in individual patients. -

Navigating Home Care: Parenteral Nutrition—Part Two
NUTRITION ISSUES IN GASTROENTEROLOGY, SERIES #11 Series Editor: Carol Rees Parrish, M.S., R.D., CNSD Navigating Home Care: Parenteral Nutrition—Part Two by Gisela Barnadas Parenteral nutrition (PN) is often used for patients who are unable to absorb suffi- cient nutrition through the gastrointestinal tract. PN can be safely administered in the home setting with proper assessment and monitoring of the patient. An interdiscipli- nary team approach is used to identify and avoid potential complications, which may occur. This article provides the physician with specific guidelines for evaluating, ordering and monitoring PN therapy in the home patient. It also addresses financial and reimbursement considerations with emphasis on understanding the often con- fusing, Medicare guidelines.

Robotic Surgery for the Treatment of Chronic Pancreatitis. Pain Control, Narcotic Use Reduction and Re-Intervention Rate. Ten Years Follow-Up Retrospective Study
isorders c D & ti a T e h r e c r a n p a y P ISSN: 2165-7092 Pancreatic Disorders & Therapy Research Article Robotic Surgery for the Treatment of Chronic Pancreatitis. Pain Control, Narcotic Use Reduction and Re-Intervention Rate. Ten Years Follow-Up Retrospective Study Eduardo Fernandes*, Valentina Valle, Gabriela Aguiluz Cornejo, Roberto Bustos, Roberto Mangano, Pier Cristoforo Giulianotti University of Illinois at Chicago College of Medicine Chicago, IL United States ABSTRACT Introduction: Surgical treatment of chronic pancreatitis is reserved to patients with intractable pain, pancreatic duct obstruction or suspicion of malignancy. Robotic surgery in this context has proven to be a safe and feasible. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of robotic assisted surgery in the context of chronic pancreatitis with regards to pain control, narcotic usage and need for re-intervention. Methods: A retrospective analysis of a prospectively collected divisional database at the University of Illinois Hospital & Health Sciences System was carried out. The primary endpoint was: 1) Evaluation of pre and post-operative pain and narcotic usage. The secondary endpoints were: 1) 10-year overall survival; and 2) ‘Event Free Survival’ (EFS). Results: 37 patients entered the study. The procedures performed were: pancreatic head resection (7), total pancreatectomy (1), hepatico-jejunostomy (6), longitudinal Roux-en-Y pancreato-jejunostomy (4), pancreato- gastrostomy (14) and thoracoscopic splanchnicectomy (7). The mean pre and post-operative pain scores were 6.5 and 4.5 respectively (p<0.05, paired Student t-test). Rates of narcotics use pre and post-surgery were 74% and 50% of patients respectively. -
The Impact of Star Physicians on Diffusion
THE IMPACT OF STAR PHYSICIANS ON DIFFUSION OF A MEDICAL TECHNOLOGY A Dissertation Submitted to The Temple University Graduate Board in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY By Laura Shinn January, 2011 Examining Committee Members: Erwin A. Blackstone, PhD, Advisory Chair, Economics Joseph P. Fuhr, Jr., PhD, Economics Thomas E. Getzen, PhD, Risk, Insurance and Healthcare Management Paul N. Rappoport, PhD, Economics Albert I.Wertheimer, PhD, MBA, External Member, Pharmaco-Economics ii ABSTRACT The Impact of Star Physicians on Diffusion of a Medical Technology Laura Shinn Temple University January, 2011 Professor Erwin A. Blackstone, Chair This dissertation studies the effect of star power among physicians on the diffusion of a medical technology. Studies of the diffusion of medical technologies document institutional and market level factors influencing diffusion rates and patterns. The role of the physician in the diffusion of medical technology in hospitals is not widely studied. This dissertation seeks to fill this gap. Certain ―star‖ physicians and hospitals are recognized as highly attractive to patients. A star physician is defined as a physician who meets any of the following criteria: (i) completed residency training at top 30 ranked hospital, (ii) graduated from a top 30 medical school or (iii) is included in Castle & Connolly’s Top Docs publications. A star hospital is defined as a member of the American Association of Medical Colleges’ Council of Teaching Hospitals. iii Using quarterly data on all bariatric surgeries performed in the state of Pennsylvania from 1995 through 2007, I measure the effect of stars physicians and star hospitals on the diffusion of a surgical innovation in bariatric surgery called laparoscopic gastric bypass surgery. -
