pilocarpine and Pancreatitis

pilocarpine has been researched along with Pancreatitis in 9 studies

Pilocarpine: A slowly hydrolyzed muscarinic agonist with no nicotinic effects. Pilocarpine is used as a miotic and in the treatment of glaucoma.
(+)-pilocarpine : The (+)-enantiomer of pilocarpine.

Pancreatitis: INFLAMMATION of the PANCREAS. Pancreatitis is classified as acute unless there are computed tomographic or endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatographic findings of CHRONIC PANCREATITIS (International Symposium on Acute Pancreatitis, Atlanta, 1992). The two most common forms of acute pancreatitis are ALCOHOLIC PANCREATITIS and gallstone pancreatitis.

ExcerptRelevanceReference
"Saliva secretion was studied via pilocarpine test in 40 patients with pancreas exocrine insufficiency: 32 patients with chronic pancreatitis and 8 patients with pancreas carcinoma."3.66[Changes in salivary secretion in pancreatic patients]. ( Ivanov, L; Mendizova, A, 1981)
"A study on the diagnostic value of the parotid and mixed saliva assay after stimulation with 1% pilocarpine hydrochloride was carried out in 36 controls and 26 patients affected with chronic pancreatitis."3.66Study of parotid and mixed saliva in the diagnosis of chronic pancreatitis. ( Bonoldi, MC; Dobrilla, G; Felder, M; Filippini, M; Gaspa, U; Moroder, E; Schnabl, D; Valentini, M, 1979)
"In order to study the disposition which is thought to be latent in chronic pancreatitis, we investigated the sweat chloride concentration of 95 normal subjects, 43 cases of chronic pancreatitis, 12 cases of cholelithiasis, 15 cases of peptic ulcers, 16 cases of hepatic diseases and 23 cases of diabetes mellitus with the sweat test, using the method of pilocarpine iontophoresis."3.66The significance of the sweat test in chronic pancreatitis.

"Cystic fibrosis is a genetic recessive disorder caused by mutations in the gene that encodes the CFTR protein."2.41[Diagnosis of cystic fibrosis in adults]. ( Chinet, T; Fajac, I; Ferec, C; Garcia Carmona, T; Nguyen-Khoa, T, 2000)
"We found no patients with severe acute pancreatitis who had CFTR gene mutations, suggesting that these alterations are not a risk factor for the disease in our population."1.31CFTR gene mutations in patients suffering from acute pancreatitis. ( Kostuch, M; Kulczycki, L; Rudzki, S; Semczuk, A, 2002)
