Pancreatitis in Pregnancy

One should be cautious in using long term tetracyclines, thiazides or steroids during pregnancy.  In toxemic pregnant patients who are com­plaining of epigastric pains, pancreatitis should be ruled qu t. Two patients who developed pancreatitis during their pregnancy are introduced and the dilemma of diagnosing this process from other causes of acute abdomen are discussed. It is suggested not t...

Primary Hyperparathyroidism and Pancreatitis: an Uncommon Cause of Pancreatitis

Pancreatitis in pregnancy

Abstract: Background and Aim: Prolonged use of tetracyclines, thiazides and steroids should be used during pregnancy. A differential diagnosis of pancreatitis should also be made in pregnant patients suffering from epigastric pain. This article aims to diagnose and treat pancreatitis during pregnancy and provides ideas for reducing mortality and adverse effects in mother and fetus.   Case Repo...

Database Cracking

Database indices provide a non-discriminative navigational infrastructure to localize tuples of interest. Their maintenance cost is taken during database updates. In this work we study the complementary approach, addressing index maintenance as part of query processing using continuous physical reorganization, i.e., cracking the database into manageable pieces. Each query is interpreted not onl...

Database Cracking

This paper talks about the self-oraganized index maintainance approach of database cracking. It provides fundamental knowledge as well as the description of a basic implementation of database cracking. Alongside multiple cracking algorithms, the implementation also contains the code of a cracking index. By combining these two features the implementation allows the execution of range queries on ...
