EVALUATION OF CORRECTIVE SURGERY FOR PANCREATITIS BY SE75 SELENOMETHIONINE PANCREATIC IMAGING

Incorporation of Se75-selenomethionine into Pancreatic Juice Proteins in Vivo.

Complications of Pancreatic Surgery and Pancreatitis

In the past decade, many advances have been made in our understanding of the pathophysiology of acute pancreatitis and its complications and several large clinical trials have been carried out which, it was hoped, would lead to specific treatments for this condition. During this period, there has been a steady rise in the incidence of acute pancreatitis and overall mortality has remained unchan...

Complications of Pancreatic Surgery and Pancreatitis

Pancreatic cancer is a common cause of cancer death in the developed world. Currently, resection is the only chance of long-term survival. The post-operative mortality in nonspecialist centres often exceeds 20% but is around 6% or less in specialist centres. The overall complication rate even in specialist centres is 18–54%. An analysis of eleven large series of pancreatic resections shows an i...

Corrective surgery for tetralogy of Fallot. Evaluation of results.

A SUFFICIENT NUMBER of patients with tetralogy of Fallot have now had definitive correction by open-heart surgery, made possible by the use of the pump-oxygenator and extracorporeal circulation, to make a comparative analysis of the results attained between open definitive correction of the defects and the results of the earlier bypass shunt procedures of the Blalock-Taussig' or Potts2, and the...

Diagnostic Evaluation of Pancreatic Carcinoma and Chronic Pancreatitis by Pancreatoscopy

We succeeded in viewing the image of pancreatic duct on a TV monitor as a sequential electronic endoscope image by connecting a converter with a charge-coupled device to an ultra-thin pancreatoscope. Spacial image processing by adaptive enhancement, using an electronic endoscope, was studied in the pancreatoscope images of 18 cases (10 with pancreatic cancer and 8 with chronic pancreatitis). As...
