exocrine insufficiency.

This double blind RCT compared the effectiveness of pancreas enzyme

supplementation vs. placebo for patients with steatorrhea due to chronic pancreatitis or

after total pancreatectomy.

A 20 minute secretin stimulated endoscopic pancreas function test in patients with

and without chronic pancreatitis.

This study compared the bicarbonate concentration of pancreas juice obtained by

endoscopic aspiration of secretions in the duodenum over 20 minutes after secretin

stimulation.

6. NIH/NIDDK DK109124 (Bellin, PI, Lara site-PI) 2017-present

POST-Prospective observational study (POST) of total pancreatectomy and islet

autotransplantation (TPIAT).

The purpose of this multi-center study is to obtain comprehensive clinical data,

including validated quality of life and pain scores in patients before and after

undergoing TPIAT in adults and children. Tissue bio-banking is also being performed

for future studies. The information should allow better understanding of patient

characteristics that may indicate when it is appropriate to perform TPIAT, or to avoid

it, and what the outcomes are.

7. NIH/NIDDK DK108327 (Conwell) 2014-present

PROCEED-Prospective evaluation of chronic pancreatitis for epidemiologic and

translational studies.

This study is a multi-center longitudinal study of patients with abdominal pain, acute

pancreatitis, and suspected and established chronic pancreatitis to determine clinical

parameters that will allow us to better understand disease progression and patient

characteristics that indicate the progression and outcomes. Tissue bio-banking is also

ongoing for current and future studies.

MENTORING:

-Peter P. Stanich, MD, Assistant Professor of Internal Medicine, The Ohio State

University. I have included Dr. Stanich in our recent work using a novel radiofrequency

ablation catheter which was developed by me. We are gathering our first patients in a

multi-center experience and presenting data at the national meetings.

-Sebastian Strobel, MD, Assistant Professor of Internal Medicine, The Ohio State

University. I am working with Dr. Strobel to identify areas of research that will help him

grow academically. As his interest is in endoscopy we have put him in contact with

instrument manufacturers, and he is one of the few physicians trained in performing full

thickness resection. He has also done advanced training through industry and academic

contacts. We are working on an endoscopic project which will hopefully attract funding

from one of the GI societies.

- BahaaEldeen Ismail, MD. We had a close working relationship during fellowship, and

helped him develop a niche in small bowel endoscopy. He has gone on to grow in the

filed as well as GI motility at the University of Kentucky where he is faculty. We talk

frequently and we continue our research interests, including a recent abstract on use of

endoscopic clips for GI bleeding. I am also helping him with his application to develop a

small bowel program at his institution. We are interested in interviewing him for a

position at POSU in the near future.

- Laura Nemer, MD. Currently a fellow in our Department. We have been working

together to develop an interest in academia, and just finished mining data from HCUP

where we studied the relationship between recent marijuana legalization and the

incidence of acute pancreatitis. We have to polish the data and she will write the

manuscripts. She is thinking about advanced training so we are working on identifying

what field to move into.

- Tolga Erim, DO. A junior staff physician at Cleveland Clinic Florida. We collaborated

in learning advanced endoscopic procedures including ESD, POEM, endoscopic Zenker’s

diverticulotomy, and others. He is now a recognized expert in advanced endoscopic

procedures locally and nationally.

Luis F. Lara, MD

- Alicia Alvarez, MD. I mentored her through fellowship, and she finished an Advanced

Endoscopy Fellowship at Beth Israel Medical Center/Harvard Medical School. She is

now in private practice.
