TL;DR: A study of all patients with acute pancreatitis admitted to Haukeland University Hospital over a 10-year period was performed as mentioned in this paper, where the authors found that the incidence was 30.6 per 100 000 with 48.5 % associated with gallstones and 17 % alcohol induced.
Abstract: Background: Studies on the incidence and etiology of acute pancreatitis show large regional differences. This study was performed to establish incidence, etiology and severity of acute pancreatitis in the population of Bergen, Norway. Methods: A study of all patients with acute pancreatitis admitted to Haukeland University Hospital over a 10-year period was performed. Information was obtained about the number of patients with acute pancreatitis admitted to the Deaconess Hospital in Bergen. Results: A total of 978 admissions of acute pancreatitis were recorded in these two hospitals giving an incidence of 30.6 per 100 000. Haukeland University Hospital had 757 admissions of acute pancreatitis in 487 patients. Pancreatitis was severe in 20 % (96/ 487) of patients, more often in males (25 %) than in females (14 %). Mortality due to acute pancreatitis was 3% (16/487). Gallstones were found to be an etiological factor in 48.5 % and alcohol consumption in 19 % of patients. The risk of recurrent pancreatitis was 47 % in alcohol induced and 17 % in gallstone induced pancreatitis. The last five years of the study period, endoscopic sphincterotomy of patients with gallstone pancreatitis, resulted in drop in relapse rate from 33 % to 1.6 %. Conclusion: The incidence of acute pancreatitis was found to be 30.6 per 100 000 with 48.5 % associated with gallstones and 17 % alcohol induced. Incidence of first attack was 20/100 000. Pancreatitis was classified as severe in 20 % of cases with a mortality of 3% .

TL;DR: The data support the findings of previous studies that there is a systemic failure to meet patients’ in-hospital and post-discharge information needs and participants’ following-up preferences favoured open telephone lines and telephone follow-up.
Abstract: Background: Several studies have claimed that patients have unmet information needs after discharge following acute myocardial infarction (AMI). Our overall goal is to develop a post-discharge nurs...

TL;DR: Non‐MG‐related comorbidity represents a diagnostic and therapeutic challenge, especially in elderly patients, and Diagnostic accuracy and optimal follow‐up is necessary to identify and treat all types of coexisting disease in MG.
Abstract: Myasthenia gravis (MG) is an autoimmune disorder leading to skeletal muscle weakness and fatigability. MG subgroups are defined according to pathogenetic autoantibody (against acetylcholine receptor, muscle-specific tyrosine kinase or lipoprotein receptor-related protein 4), thymus pathology and clinical manifestations. MG patients have an increased risk for concordant autoimmune disease, in particular with early onset MG. Most common comorbidities are thyroid disease, systemic lupus erythematosus and rheumatoid arthritis. Cardiomyositis and subclinical heart dysfunction have been described in patients with thymoma MG and late onset MG but represent no major threat. A thymic lymphoepithelioma implies an increased risk for another cancer. Autoimmune MG represents no distinct cancer risk factor, although lymphomas and a few other cancer types have been reported with slightly increased frequency. Severe MG-related muscle weakness means a risk for respiratory failure and respiratory tract infection. Drug MG treatment can lead to side-effects. Thymectomy is regarded as a safe procedure both short and long term. Non-MG-related comorbidity represents a diagnostic and therapeutic challenge, especially in elderly patients. Diagnostic accuracy and optimal follow-up is necessary to identify and treat all types of coexisting disease in MG.

TL;DR: Pre-operative and postoperative stoma education in an enhanced recovery programme is associated with a significantly shorter hospital stay without any difference in re-admission rate or early stoma-related complications.
