We report a case of fatal pancreatitis heralded by the presence of cutaneous panniculitis without abdominal pain or other stigmata of the disease. Although cutaneous fat necrosis has been associated with pancreatitis, it is unusual as the presenting complaint of this relatively common disease. In
The stomach is an organ considered resistant to ischemia because of the microvascular networks in the stomach wall, and gastric remnant necrosis following gastrectomy is rare. Herein, we report a case of gastric remnant necrosis following gastrectomy successfully treated using a Though the substantial part of serum ribonuclease (EC 3.1.27.5) is of pancreatic origin, there are no consistent data on changes in activity of serum alkaline ribonuclease in acute pancreatitis. The recent findings suggest that the increase in ribonuclease activity refers only to patients with
A 60-year-old man was hospitalized because of a sudden onset of severe pain in the epigastrium and haematemesis. Acute pancreatitis was diagnosed on the basis of an increased serum amylase concentration (642 U/l). Abdominal ultrasound and computed tomography demonstrated a necrotic zone with central
Exocrine pancreatic function after secretin and cholecystokinin stimulation was examined in a group of patients with idiopathic necrosis of the femoral head and in a normal control group. The volume output, bicarbonate and amylase concentrations in the patient group were not significantly lower than
Acute haemorrhagic pancreatitis was induced in rats by injecting 5% sodium taurocholate into the common biliopancreatic duct. The condition was associated with an increase in the serum amylase levels as well as progressive pancreatic necrosis resulting in 100% mortality before 36 hours. This
Retrograde injection of 5% sodium taurocholic acid (TA) in Wistar rat pancreatic duct is followed by acute pancreatitis, resulting in 100% mortality within 36 h. Biochemical determinations show raised levels of amylase in ascites and blood. Necrosis has been measured using seven morphometric
We have studied the production of mouse tumor necrosis factor alpha (mTNF) with Streptomyces lividans as host. mTNF cDNA was fused to the alpha-amylase-encoding gene (aml) of Streptomyces venezuelae ATCC15068 at 12 amino acids (aa) downstream from the signal-peptidase cleavage site so that the aa
Metastatic fat necrosis is a form of lobular panniculitis which together with synovitis is an unusual complication of pancreatic disease. It can precede an attack of pancreatitis. Pancreatic disease should therefore be remembered as a cause of panniculitis. Serum amylase and abdominal
OBJECTIVE
report a new case of primary necrosis of the ligamentum teres hepatis and discuss preoperative diagnosis strategy and therapeutic options.
METHODS
This is a patient of 76 years, hypertensive, who was admitted for an acute abdomen. The diagnosis of acute pancreatitis was referred to the
It was established in an acute experiment on rats of Wistar line while an acute pancreatitis simulation using the pancreatic tissue freezing that the level of a tumor necrosis factor (TNF) in a blood serum was maximal in 4 hours from the cold action onset, the activity of amylase and trypsin was
In North America, massive liver necrosis is due mainly to viral infection or exposure to hepatotoxins. We report an unusual case of massive liver necrosis due to diffuse liver infiltration by small cell carcinoma of the lung. The unusual presentation included hyperamylasemia due to ectopic amylase
