Immune and metabolic shifts drive acute pancreatitis into chronic disease

Pancreatitis is clinically classified into acute pancreatitis (AP) and chronic pancreatitis (CP). Most patients with AP recover without residual pancreatic dysfunction; a subset develops recurrent AP, and only selected high-risk individuals-particularly those with ongoing etiological exposure, genetic susceptibility, or severe necrotizing disease-progress to CP.

Type 2 diabetes accelerates jawbone loss and causes tooth loss

Type 2 diabetes (T2D) is a chronic metabolic disorder whose global burden continues to rise. Beyond its systemic effects, T2D compromises skeletal health and markedly worsens loss of alveolar bone—the bone that anchors teeth—leading to tooth loosening, increased mobility, and eventual tooth loss.
