    First of all she presented with relationship issues which focused predominantly on her sister and her husband, as well as more generally, in terms of dealing with authority figures and clients.

Menopausal symptoms, coupled with adrenal fatigue, had demonstrated to her the need to focus on herself for the first time in her life.

    The inflammation of the pancreas results from an obstruction of the bile and pancreatic duct, which then impedes the outflow of pancreatic digestive enzymes (Huether & McCance, 2012). Thereafter, the occluded ducts cause the accumulation of pancreatic secretions along with the activation of specific enzymes within the pancreas, which further activate other enzymes (Huether & McCance, 2012). For example, activated trypsin then activates chymotrypsin, amylase, lipase, and elastase. This further explains why patient J.A.’s blood findings reported elevated serum amylase and lipase. Although, elevated serum amylase concentration is characteristic of pancreatitis, it is not used to confirm diagnosis; however, an elevated serum amylase is the primary diagnostic marker for acute pancreatitis (Huether & McCance, 2012). Furthermore, the activation of these enzymes causes the self-digestion of both pancreatic cells and tissues, causing the pancreas to become inflamed. If this self-digestion of the pancreas progresses, it can cause vascular damage, coagulation, and fat necrosis (Huether & McCance,…

In addition, the finding of diffuse pancreatic calcifications on radiography is virtually pathognomonic for chronic pancreatitis. Among all cases of chronic pancreatitis, alcohol use (environmental toxin) is the most common etiology, accounting for 70%. The second most common group, accounting for 20% of cases, is idiopathic or unknown etiologies. The etiology of chronic pancreatitis, pancreatic fibrogenesis appears to be a typical response to injury. This involves a complex interplay of growth factors, cytokines, and chemokines, leading to deposition of extracellular…

    Currently there is no reliable way to diagnosis early detection of pancreatic cancer (Li, G., Huang, Y., Manjunath, Y., Kimchi, E. T., Kaifi, J. T., & Staveley-O'Carroll, K. F. 2016)., However, there are symptoms of pancreatic cancer that can be used as helpful hints in detecting cancer cells such as, yellow skin and eyes, darkening of the urine, itching, and clay-colored stool, which are signs of jaundice caused by a blockage of the bile ducts, pain in upper abdomen or upper back, painful swelling of an arm or leg due to a blood clot, burning feeling in stomach or other gastrointestinal discomforts, stomach bloating, floating stools with a particularly bad odor and an unusual color due to the body not digesting fats well, weakness, loss of appetite, nausea and vomiting, Chills, fever, and unexplained weight loss (Pancreatic Cancer: Diagnosis. 2017).
