Abstract
INTRODUCTION Chronic pancreatitis (CP) is a frequent cause for hospitalization and is associated with impaired quality of life and reduced overall survival. The German Society for Gastroenterology (DGVS) has recently completed the S3-Guideline "Pancreatitis" that summarizes key findings on epidemiology, diagnostic and therapeutic concepts for acute and chronic pancreatitis. Here, we recapitulate the most relevant findings for clinicians regarding CP. RESULTS The most common cause of CP is chronic alcohol abuse, other causes are hereditary pancreatitis, autoimmune pancreatitis, hyperparathyroidism and idiopathic forms. Apart from the classical hereditary pancreatitis (PRSS1 mutation), a number of genetic associations have been discovered over the last years that are associated with an increased risk to develop idiopathic CP. The conservative management of CP is focused on the appropriate management of exocrine and endocrine insufficiency, and the prevention and treatment of secondary complications such as osteoporosis, vitamin deficiencies and malnutrition. Local complications (bile duct stenosis, duodenal stenosis, pseudocysts and chronic pain) should be managed in multidisciplinary teams in specialized pancreas centres with expert surgeons, radiologists and gastroenterologists. Infected or symptomatic pseudocysts should be primarily addressed by endoscopic drainage. In contrast, patients with chronic pain, dilated pancreas duct and opioid use should be considered for early surgical intervention. CONCLUSION Chronic pancreatitis is associated with increased morbidity and mortality and often leads to hospital admissions. The clinical management of complex patients with local complications requires an interdisciplinary approach to tailor available therapeutic modalities depending on the stage of the disease and pre-existing comorbidities.

Abstract
The application of the BL-38 subjective complaints scale in an epidemiological cohort study (Study of Health in Pomerania) Objective: We provide an overview of the application of the BL-38 complaints scale in the epidemiological Study of Health in Pomerania. We examine the influence of socio-demographic variables on complaint burden and the stability of complaint burden over time. Methods: 16 studies that used the BL-38 in analyses of SHIP-data were examined in terms of how the BL-38 was operationalised and the statistically significant results yielded. We conduct linear regression analyses to assess effects of sociodemographic variables on complaint burden in four SHIP populations and assess test-retest-reliability over a 17-year period. Results: The BL-38 is predominantly used flexibly to depict specific complaints in analyses covering a heterogeneous range of disciplines and study questions. Total, somatic and mental complaint burden have different determinant, predictive and confounding effects. Test-retest-reliability was moderate. Conclusions: The BL-38 allows consideration of (specified) health complaint patterns across many research disciplines. Cross-sectional and longitudinal reproducibility of significant results underlines its validity. The results underscore the importance of subjective health complaints in epidemiological and psychosomatic research.

Abstract
Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) caused by Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) has led to a world-wide pandemic since its onset in December of 2019. Although, a primary respiratory pathogen, over the ensuing period, its extra-pulmonary effects have come to the forefront. The virus, having multi-organ tropism, has been shown to affect a host of other organs beyond the lung, including the pancreas. The data on pancreatic involvement by COVID-19, however, have been limited. Moreover, whether the effects on the pancreas are due to the direct effects of the virus or is just an epi-phenomenon is debatable. The prevalence of pancreatic injury and degree of injury are the other issues that need to be addressed. Pancreatic cancer has a dismal prognosis and the management of the same in the COVID era needs to be tailored assessing the risk-benefit ratio for the same. Additionally, pancreatic surgery increases not only the morbidity of the patient, but also the risk of the operator and burden on the health care system. Hence, the decision for such major procedures needs to be rationalized for optimum benefit during this pandemic. Similarly, for the endoscopist, pancreatic endoscopy needs to be carefully regulated to reduce risk to both the patient and the physician and yet deliver optimum patient care. This review gives a concise summary of various aspects of pancreatic involvement and pancreatic disease management during this pandemic.

Abstract
BACKGROUND/AIMS The aim of this study was to describe the diagnostic yield of endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) in patients with isolated elevated levels of amylase and/or lipase. METHODS A retrospective chart review was conducted at a large academic medical center from 2000 to 2016. Patients were selected based on having elevated amylase, lipase, or both, but without a diagnosis of pancreatitis or known pancreatobiliary disease. Patients were excluded if they had abnormal liver function tests or abnormal imaging of the pancreas. RESULTS Of 299 EUS procedures performed, 38 met inclusion criteria. Symptoms were present in 31 patients, most frequently abdominal pain (87%). In 20 patients (53%), initial EUS most commonly found chronic pancreatitis (n=7; 18%), sludge (5; 13%), or new diagnosis of pancreas divisum (3; 8%). In the asymptomatic patients (7), 3 had a finding on EUS, most importantly sludge (2), stone (1), and pancreas divisum (1). No patients were diagnosed with a mass or pancreatic cyst. During the follow up period, 6 patients (22%) had cholecystectomy. CONCLUSION In our study of patients with isolated elevations in amylase and/or lipase without acute pancreatitis who underwent EUS, approximately 50% had a pancreatobiliary finding, most commonly chronic pancreatitis or biliary sludge.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Serum lipase activities above the threefold upper reference limit indicate acute pancreatitis. We investigated whether high lipase activity-within the reference range and in the absence of pancreatitis-are associated with genetic single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNP), and whether these identified SNPs are also associated with clinical pancreatitis. METHODS Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) on phenotypes 'serum lipase activity' and 'high serum lipase activity' were conducted including 3966 German volunteers from the population-based Study-of-Health-in-Pomerania (SHIP). Lead SNPs associated on a genome-wide significance level were replicated in two cohorts, 1444 blood donors and 1042 pancreatitis patients. RESULTS Initial discovery GWAS detected SNPs within or near genes encoding the ABO blood group specifying transferases A/B (ABO), Fucosyltransferase-2 (FUT2), and Chymotrypsinogen-B2 (CTRB2), to be significantly associated with lipase activity levels in asymptomatic subjects. Replication analyses in blood donors confirmed the association of FUT-2 non-secretor status (OR=1.49; p=0.012) and ABO blood-type-B (OR=2.48; p=7.29×10(-8)) with high lipase activity levels. In pancreatitis patients, significant associations were found for FUT-2 non-secretor status (OR=1.53; p=8.56×10(-4)) and ABO-B (OR=1.69, p=1.0×10(-4)) with chronic pancreatitis, but not with acute pancreatitis. Conversely, carriers of blood group O were less frequently affected by chronic pancreatitis (OR=0.62; p=1.22×10(-05)) and less likely to have high lipase activity levels (OR=0.59; p=8.14×10(-05)). CONCLUSIONS These are the first results indicating that ABO blood type-B as well as FUT2 non-secretor status are common population-wide risk factors for developing chronic pancreatitis. They also imply that, even within the reference range, elevated lipase activities may indicate subclinical pancreatic injury in asymptomatic subjects.
