BISAP, RANSON, lactate and others biomarkers in prediction of severe acute pancreatitis in a European cohort.
The study aims to assess and compare the predicting ability of some scores and biomarkers in acute pancreatitis. ⋯ Bedside index for severity acute pancreatitis is a good predictive system for SAP, mortality, and ICU admission, being useful for triaging patients for ICU management. Lactate could be useful for developing new scores.

Overlap between irritable bowel syndrome and functional dyspepsia including subtype analyses.
Coexistent gastrointestinal symptom profiles and prevalence or associated factors for the overlap between each functional dyspepsia (FD) and irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) group remain unclear. Thus, the aim of the present study was to evaluate the clinicodemographic features of FD, IBS, and IBS-FD overlap and assess the risk factors thereof, including subtype and genetic polymorphisms for IBS-FD. ⋯ Bloating was a risk factor for IBS-FD overlap. Patients with postprandial distress syndrome have a higher risk of coexisting IBS, particularly constipation-dominant IBS.
