Pancreatic enzyme therapy is explained by expert Anna Evans Phillips, MD, of the University of Pittsburgh. Do you have difficulty digesting food due to chronic pancreatitis? Have you been diagnosed with exocrine pancreatic insufficiency? You may need one or all of the main enzymes produced by a healthy pancreas. Dr. Phillips talks about what your doctor may prescribe, how these enzymes work, and when to take them so they are most effective. Video Rating: / 5
In this video Doctor O’Donovan explains the Ca 19-9 lab test including 1. What Ca 19-9 is 2. Why the test is used 3. What the result of the test might mean.
Cancer antigen 19-9 (CA 19-9) is a protein that exists on the surface of certain cells. CA 19-9 does not cause cancer; rather, it is a protein that is produced by the tumour cells, making it useful as a tumour marker to follow the course of the cancer.
CA 19-9 is elevated in most patients with advanced pancreatic cancer, but it may also be elevated in other cancers and diseases such as bowel cancer, lung cancer and gall bladder cancer, as well as in benign diseases such as gall stones, pancreatitis, cystic fibrosis, and liver disease. Because elevated levels of CA 19-9 are seen in many diseases, elevated levels do not necessary mean the presence of pancreatic cancer. Very small amounts of CA19-9 may also be found in healthy patients

Pancreatic adenocarcinoma is a cancer that arises from the exocrine side of the pancreas. So the cells that make the digestive fluids, are the cells that become cancerous. A lot of the symptoms are non-specific, so pancreatic cancer is seldom detected at its early stages. Learn more about pancreatic adenocarcinoma care at Mayo Clinic: https://mayocl.in/371Edz5

Original Article: Pancreatic Beta Cell Dedifferentiation as a Mechanism of Diabetic Beta Cell Failure.
Talchai et al. Cell, 2012. 150 (6) p. 1223-1234.
A University of Oregon graduate student’s discovery could someday lead to new treatments for the nearly 1.5 million Americans with Type 1 diabetes. The research, led by Jennifer Hampton Hill in the UO lab of biologist Karen Guillemin, was detailed in a paper published in the journal eLife on Dec. 13, 2016.
A professor in the UO’s Department of Biology and the Institute of Molecular Biology who also serves as director of the META Center for Systems Biology, Guillemin examines the role bacteria play in animal development and disease. She uses a research model she helped develop involving a special kind of sterile zebrafish that don’t have any internal or external microbes of their own — no microbiome, making them germ-free — so scientists can better determine the role those microbes play as animals grow.
Having studied the pancreas and its importance to metabolism, and knowing that host metabolism can be strongly influenced by microbes, Hampton Hill naturally developed an interest in the role of bacteria in pancreatic development, which Guillemin encouraged.

Pancreatic attack is infection or inflammation of the pancreas. Usually presents with upper abdominal pain above the naval area. Pain radiates from upper abdomen to the back side. Sometimes pateitn can have pain only in the back. Associatedvomiting is seen. Common reasons is alcohol, gall bladder stone if they have more cholesterol, if there is a autoimmune pancreatitis, if there is more calcium deposit.
