Biliary acute pancreatitis (BAP) is a frequent and potentially severe condition requiring appropriate and timely management to reduce complications and recurrence. This study reviews the clinical characteristics and therapeutic approaches to BAP, with a particular focus on the timing of cholecystectomy. The analysis highlights a discrepancy between current international guidelines, which recommend performing cholecystectomy during the same hospitalization, and real-life practices in a regional h...

Uncontrolled type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) can lead to complications, including hepatic glycogenic overload, also known as Mauriac syndrome. This syndrome, initially described in children with T1DM, is characterized by excessive hepatic glycogen accumulation due to fluctuating hyperglycemia and high insulin doses. It is often underdiagnosed due to clinical overlap with metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD). We report the case of a 15-year-old boy with poorly controll...
