A case report of pancreatic exocrine insufficiency in a patient with Parkinson's disease: A coincidence or is there more to it than meets the eye?
We present a case of a 60-year-old male with Parkinson's disease and persistent abdominal pain who was found to have low faecal elastase levels indicative of severe PEI. His past medical history included none of the known risk factors for PEI. After examining the literature, we report a similar pathophysiological process underlying the development of pancreatitis and Parkinson's disease which is dysfunction of the Unfolded Protein Response. We suggest further research to assess the prevalence of PEI in the population of patients with Parkinson's disease.PMID:38396339 | DOI:10.1177/14782715241234078 (Source: Journal of the ...

DISCUSSION: This single centre retrospective study shows that physician-led TUS-guided biopsy provides a safe and timely method of obtaining a tissue diagnosis in thoracic malignancy.
