1. pancreatitis

   Pancreatitis is a medical condition characterized by inflammation of the pancreas, a gland located behind the stomach that is involved in producing digestive enzymes and hormones like insulin. This inflammation can happen in acute or chronic forms. Acute pancreatitis occurs suddenly and typically resolves within a few days with treatment, while chronic pancreatitis occurs over many years and can lead to permanent damage and digestive complications. Symptoms can include abdominal pain, fever, nausea, and vomiting. Causes can include gallstones, excessive alcohol use, certain medications, and genetic factors.
