This paper is a systematic review of the literature on the use of intelligent medical systems in the diagnosis and treatment of acute inflammatory pancreatic diseases. The author provides modern literature data on the efficacy of decision support systems based on artificial neural networks to determine the severity, diagnosis and outcome prognosis of pancreatitis and complications.

Abstract Background Tissue-agnostic drug development provides a paradigm shift in precision medicine and requires innovative trial designs. However, outcome selection for such trials can prove challenging. The objectives of this review were to: Identify and map core outcome sets (COS), across 11 immune-mediated inflammatory diseases (IMIDs) in order to facilitate the selection of relevant outcomes across the conditions for innovative trials of tissue-agnostic drug therapies. Compare outcomes or endpoints recommended by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and European Medicines Agency (EMA) to identify and highlight similarities and differences. Methods The Core Outcome Measures in Effectiveness Trials (COMET), International Consortium for Health Outcomes Measurement (ICHOM), FDA and EMA databases were searched from inception to 28th December 2019. Two reviewers independently screened titles and abstracts of retrieved entries and conducted the subsequent full text screening. Hand searching of the reference lists and citation searching of the selected publications was conducted. The methodological quality of the included peer-reviewed articles was independently assessed by the reviewers based on the items of the COS–Standards for Development recommendations (COS–STAD) checklist. Core outcomes from the included publications were extracted and mapped across studies and conditions. Regulatory guidance from FDA and EMA, where available for clinical trials for the IMIDs, were obtained from their databases and recommendations on outcomes to measure directly compared. Results Forty-four COS publications were included in the final analysis. Outcomes such as disease activity, pain, fatigue, quality of life, physical function, work limitation/productivity, steroid use and biomarkers were recommended across majority of the conditions. There were significant similarities and differences in FDA and EMA recommendations. The only instance where either regulatory body directly referenced a COS was for jSLE—both referenced the Paediatric Rheumatology International Trials Organization (PRINTO) COS. Conclusions The findings from this systematic review provide valuable information to inform outcome selection in tissue-agnostic trials for IMIDs. There is a need for increased collaboration between regulators and COS developers and inclusion of regulators as key stakeholders in COS development to enhance the quality of COS. Trial registration Not registered.

Osteoarthritis is a chronic degenerative disease involving the joints and bones, causing their degradation over time. Inflammation, pain, and stiffness in joints are indicators of the disease. Pharmacotherapy cannot always be efficient and may cause side effects. So, adjuncts such as complementary herbs have become of note. Garlic is a herb well-known for its various therapeutic effects such as anti-bacterial, anti-hypertension, antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects. Due to garlic's widespread use, studying its effects and mechanisms on inflammatory diseases such as osteoarthritis has been noteworthy. We searched Science Direct, Pubmed, Cochrane, and Google Scholar databases for all articles published until October 2020, based on PRISMA. Searched keywords were the following: [(garlic and arthritis), (garlic and osteoarthritis), (Garlic and OA), (Allium sativum and arthritis), (Allium sativum and osteoarthritis), (Allium sativum and OA)]. The results showed garlic, and its constituents have remarkable effects on improving OA symptoms through antioxidant and anti-inflammatory pathways. Our review shows that groups receiving garlic as a treatment showed a significant reduction in pain and inflammatory factor levels and an improved physical function instead of the control group.
