13. Low intracellular magnesium in patients with acute pancreatitis and hypocalcemia.
To determine the role of magnesium deficiency in the pathogenesis of hypocalcemia in acute pancreatitis, we measured magnesium levels in serum and in peripheral blood mononuclear cells in 29 patients with acute pancreatitis, 14 of whom had hypocalcemia and 15 of whom had normal calcium levels. Only six patients had overt hypomagnesemia (serum magnesium less

14. Vagotomy plus Bilroth II gastrectomy for the prevention of recurrent alcohol-induced pancreatitis.
Three retrospective reviews documenting a lessened frequency of acute recurrent alcohol-induced pancreatitis following vagotomy, with or without gastrectomy or gastroenterostomy, prompted a prospective evaluation of truncal vagotomy with Bilroth II gastrectomy as a means of preventing such exacerbations. Randomization between operation and encouragement to a

15. False pancreas divisum. Acquired pancreatic duct obstruction simulating the congenital anomaly.
Eight patients with recurrent acute pancreatitis were found by ERCP to have foreshortening of the duct of Wirsung simulating the radiographic appearance of the congenital anomaly pancreas divisum. In contrast to 44 patients with true pancreas divisum, who were predominantly young (mean 32 years), nonalcoholic (42/44), and female (34/44), patients with false

16. Candida tropicalis endophthalmitis following penetrating keratoplasty.
A case of Candida tropicalis endophthalmitis following penetrating keratoplasty is presented. The donor was an alcoholic, who died of bronchopneumonia and pancreatitis. We presume the candida infection was transmitted by the donor because Candida tropicalis was cultured in life from the donor's throat swab and corresponding fungal elements were discovered po

17. Carcinoembryonic antigen in serum in diseases of the liver and pancreas
Carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) was measured in whole serum and in serum extracted with perchloric acid by microradioimmunoassay in patients with benign and malignant diseases of the liver and pancreas. The level of detectability was 5 ng per ml. This level or greater was present in the serum of 50% of patients with chronic diffuse liver disease, 64% with pan

18. Pancreatic abnormalities and AIDS related sclerosing cholangitis.
OBJECTIVES: Biliary tract abnormalities are well recognised in AIDS, most frequently related to opportunistic infection with Cryptosporidium, Microsporidium, and cytomegalovirus. We noted a high frequency of pancreatic abnormalities associated with biliary tract disease. To define these further we reviewed the clinical and radiological features in these pati
