Emphysematous pancreatitis: a less aggressive form of infected pancreatic necrosis?

abstract：:Despite the new diagnostic and therapeutic advancements, acute pancreatitis has still high rate of morbidity and mortality. We aimed to evaluate the effects of hyperbaric oxygen (HBO) therapy alone or combined with S-methylisothiourea (SMT), and meropenem (MER) therapy in an experimental rat model of acute necrotizing...
