TL;DR: Evidence is provided that rare pathogenic variants in the SPINK1, PRSS1, CTRC, and CFTR genes significantly influence the age of onset and clinical outcomes of CP.

TL;DR: VCE adverse event rates were generally low, and retention and small bowel incomplete examination rates declined over the past two decades, and patients with known inflammatory bowel disease or elder should be alerted to high risk of retention or small bowel complete examination.

TL;DR: MCCG-2 showed better performance in mucosal visualization, examination duration and maneuverability, making better diagnosis of UGI diseases a possibility.

TL;DR: These results raise the issue of appropriately selecting patients who would benefit from a more intensive first-line chemotherapy regimen.

TL;DR: While rare pathogenic mutations in the four major susceptibility genes for CP were not significantly correlated with the development of pancreatic insufficiency, environmental factors (either alcohol consumption or smoking) significantly accelerated disease progression.
