Review
So far, a fatty pancreas has been related to obesity and the ageing processes in the body. The current list of pathogenetic factors of the condition is clearly extended with genetically conditioned diseases (cystic fibrosis, Shwachman-Diamond syndrome and Johanson-Blizzard syndrome), pancreatitis, especially hereditary and obstructive, metabolic and hormonal disorders (hypertriglyceridemia, hypercholesterolemia, hyperinsulinemia and hypercortisolemia), alcohol overuse, taking some medicines

given a single dose for three days and patients in the other group were administered one single dose of simethicone 1 hour before ultrasound examination, it was found that the single dose administered 1 hour before scanning was superior in terms of the cost and benefit ratio(5). Significant improvement in the visualization of the pancreas and other retroperitoneal structures was reported after the use of simethicone-coated cellulose as an oral contrast agent. This combined agent was used in order to

Both acute and chronic infl ammation of the pancreas often lead to complications that nowadays can be resolved using endoscopic and surgical procedures. In many cases,intraoperative ultrasound examination (IOUS) enables correct assessment of the extent of the lesion, and allows for safe surgery, while also shortening its length. Aim of theresearch: At the authors’ clinic, intraoperative ultrasound is performed in daily practice. In this paper, we try to share our experiences in the application

pancreas and the gastrointestinal system(1,3). Neuroendocrine tumours of the pancreas account for 7% of all GEP-NEN and approximately 10% of all pancreatic neoplasms(4). In recent years an increase in the prevalence of gastric and rectal NEN versus intestinal NEN has been observed(1,5–10). The NEN detection rate has significantly increased over the last few decades(1,3). Currently, it is estimated that NEN incidence is 3–5.2/100,000 new cases per year. The general prevalence rate for these neoplasms is
