Re: pancreatic studies

[Guest guest]

Hi Patty,

In know there are various research studies going on at The Royal Liverpool

University Hospital, UK. They are looking at the genetic aspects at present, and

future studies are planned to look at the role of antioxidants. There may be

research inot other areas too. I don't have the web address to hand at

present, but if anyone wants it i can find it for you.

Best wishes

Patty,

If you go to:

http://www.Clinicaltrials.gov/ you can find several for pancreatitis and related

subjects.

Also, there are some studies being done at the University of St. Louis: this is

one link:

http://www.centerwatch.com/patient/studies/stu54933.html

or for another study:

Just go to a search engine like Google, and type in " Research studies

pancreatitis and see what you come up with.

Hope this helps.

With love, hope and prayers,

Hi Patty,

The web address for The Royal Liverpool University Hospital's surgical /

research department is :

http://www.liv.ac.uk/surgery/resrch.html

This web site contains lots of info on pancreatitis - investigations, surgery

etc, as well as research studies. I hope you find it useful.

I had my pancreas removed in 2000 (didn't have the islet cell transplant).

Last October i developed adhesions which caused an obstruction of the small

bowel, so i had to have another operation. I'm making good progress now. Going

back to work next monday on a phased return. I'm a nurse and i work with sick

children.

Happy New Year.

Best wishes.
