PROGNOSTIC CRITERIA: A CASE REPORT CLAUDIO ENNA, GIUSEPPE TAORMINA, AURELIO SEIDITA, ALBERTO D’ALCAMO, MIRIAM CARTA, FLORIANA ADRAGNA, PASQUALE MANSUETO Internal Medicine, Biomedical Department of Internal and Specialist Medicine (DIBIMIS), University Hospital of Palermo, Italy ABSTRACT Acute pancreatitis is a severe pathologic condition that requires an early identification of patients at risk of developing poten- tially lethal complications. To date, the use of clinical scoring systems and evaluation of biochemical parameters are, by far, the most widely used means to stratify the risk, even if they seem approximate and inadequate. The computed tomography severity index has proved to be superior in predicting acute pancreatitis outcome. Here we report the case of an adult male, admitted to our Department with the initial diagnosis of acute edematous pancreatitis, which was proved later to be a necrotizing pancreatitis, in which the clini- cal and laboratory prognostic scores were inadequate and discrepant with the more accurate computed tomography severity index.

  • Most Common Robotic Bariatric Procedures: Review and Technical Aspects Pablo A
    Acquafresca et al. Ann Surg Innov Res (2015) 9:9 DOI 10.1186/s13022-015-0019-9 REVIEW Open Access Most common robotic bariatric procedures: review and technical aspects Pablo A. Acquafresca1, Mariano Palermo1*, Tomasz Rogula2, Guillermo E. Duza1 and Edgardo Serra1 Abstract Since its appear in the year 1997, when Drs. Cadiere and Himpens did the first robotic cholecystectomy in Brus- sels, not long after the first cholecystectomy, they performed the first robotic bariatric procedure. It is believed that robotically-assisted surgery’s most notable contributions are reflected in its ability to extend the benefits of minimally invasive surgery to procedures not routinely performed using minimal access techniques. We describe the 3 most common bariatric procedures done by robot. The main advantages of the robotic system applied to the gastric bypass appear to be better control of stoma size, avoidance of stapler costs, elimination of the potential for oro- pharyngeal and esophageal trauma, and a potential decrease in wound infection. While in the sleeve gastrectomy and adjustable gastric banding its utility is more debatable, giving a bigger advantage during surgery on patients with a very large BMI or revisional cases.

Abstract Introduction: Roundup® is a herbicide widely used in Japan in gardening and agriculture. When ingested, Roundup is highly toxic, but gastrointestinal decontamination, including gastric lavage, is not routinely performed after ingestion. Endoscopy may be useful in managing individuals with liquid herbicide poisoning, by identifying gastric residual contents, assessing mucosal damage and retrieving herbicide directly by aspiration. Case report: A 73 year old, 40 kg female with a history of depression was transported to our emergency room by ambulance 1 h after attempting suicide by ingesting 100 ml Roundup, which contains 48% glyphosate-potassium, and 52% surfactant and water.

Gzegotsky 3 I. Background The incidence of acute pancreatitis (AP) has increased during the past 20 years. Most patients develop a mild and self-limited course; however, 10% to 20% of patients have a rapidly progressive inflammatory response associated with prolonged length of hospital stay and significant morbidity and mortality. Patients with mild pancreatitis have a mortality rate of less than 1% but, in severe pancreatitis, this increases up to 10% to 30%.3 The most common cause of death in this group of patients is multiorgan dysfunction syndrome. Mortality in pancreatitis has a bimodal distribution; in the first 2 weeks, also known as the early phase, the multiorgan dysfunction syndrome is the final result of an intense inflammatory cascade triggered initially by pancreatic inflammation.

To improve outcomes, patients may require interventional measures including surgical procedures. Multidisciplinary approach and best practice guidelines are important to decrease mortality. Methods We have conducted a retrospective analysis from a prospectively maintained database in a low-volume hospital. A total of 1075 patients were attended for acute pancreatitis over a ten-year period. We have analysed 44 patients meeting the criteria for severe acute pancreatitis and for intensive care unit (ICU) admittance. Demographics and clinical data were analysed. Patients were treated according to international guidelines and a multidisciplinary flowchart for acute pancreatitis and a step-up approach for pancreatic necrosis. Results Forty-four patients were admitted to the ICU due to severe acute pancreatitis. Twenty-five patients needed percutaneous drainage of peri-pancreatic or abdominal fluid collections or cholecystitis. Eight patients underwent endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography for choledocholithiasis and biliary sepsis or pancreatic leakage, and one patient received endoscopic trans-gastric endoscopic prosthesis for pancreatic necrosis.

  • Clinical Biliary Tract and Pancreatic Disease
    Clinical Upper Gastrointestinal Disorders in Urgent Care, Part 2: Biliary Tract and Pancreatic Disease Urgent message: Upper abdominal pain is a common presentation in urgent care practice. Narrowing the differential diagnosis is sometimes difficult. Understanding the pathophysiology of each disease is the key to making the correct diagnosis and providing the proper treatment. TRACEY Q. DAVIDOFF, MD art 1 of this series focused on disorders of the stom- Pach—gastritis and peptic ulcer disease—on the left side of the upper abdomen. This article focuses on the right side and center of the upper abdomen: biliary tract dis- ease and pancreatitis (Figure 1). Because these diseases are regularly encountered in the urgent care center, the urgent care provider must have a thorough understand- ing of them. Biliary Tract Disease The gallbladder’s main function is to concentrate bile by the absorption of water and sodium. Fasting retains and concentrates bile, and it is secreted into the duodenum by eating. Impaired gallbladder contraction is seen in pregnancy, obesity, rapid weight loss, diabetes mellitus, and patients receiving total parenteral nutrition (TPN). About 10% to 15% of residents of developed nations will form gallstones in their lifetime.1 In the United States, approximately 6% of men and 9% of women 2 have gallstones. Stones form when there is an imbal- ©Phototake.com ance in the chemical constituents of bile, resulting in precipitation of one or more of the components. It is unclear why this occurs in some patients and not others, Tracey Q.
