Abstract

The goal of this study was to summarize the clinical features of hyperlipidemic acute pancreatitis (HLAP), and help clinicians understand the characteristic presentations of HLAP. From July 2009 to June 2013, 1073 cases of acute pancreatitis were retrospectively assessed. The clinical characteristics of HLAP and non-HLAP were statistically analyzed. The etiologic ratio of HLAP in acute pancreatitis rose from 13% in 2009 to 25.6% in 2013. Diabetes mellitus, fatty liver, and acute pancreatitis recurrence were positively correlated with HLAP, and female sex, age (>60 years), and alkaline phosphatase level were negatively correlated with HLAP. The diagnostic accuracy of amylase in HLAP was only 40.38%, compared with lipase (91.83%). Different cutoff points of serum triglyceride on day 1 (5.33 mmol/L), day 2 (2.77 mmol/L), and day 3 (2.18 mmol/L) could be used to obtain an accurate diagnosis of HLAP. Higher incidences of acute peripancreatic fluid collection, renal failure, and severe acute pancreatitis were also observed in patients with HLAP. Different clinical presentations of HLAP should be applied to be distinguished from non-HLAP in the clinic.

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.

Microbicide

Microbicides are products that can be applied to vaginal or rectal mucosal surfaces with the goal of preventing, or at least significantly reducing, the transmission of sexually transmitted infections. Here is the latest research on microbicides.
