“…While there were no studies that focused on marijuana smoking or vaping/e-cigarettes that met our inclusion/exclusion criteria we know from the literature that use of cannabinoids and vaping are linked to the development of gastrointestinal disorders. 134 One study investigated the role of exposure to second-hand smoke, in addition to direct cigarette smoke exposure. 110 Most studies produced an odds ratio (OR), risk ratio (RR), correlation coe cient (CC), or hazard ratio (HR) to measure each of the risks associated with their respective exposures for a particular outcome, of which are summarized in Fig.…”

Environmental exposure-associated disease is an active area of study, especially in the context of increasing global air pollution and use of inhalants. Our group is dedicated to the study of exposure-related inflammation and downstream health effects. While many studies have focused on the impact of inhalants on respiratory sequelae, there is growing evidence of the involvement of other systems including autoimmune, endocrine, and gastrointestinal. This systematic review aims to provide a recent update that will underscore the associations between inhalation exposures and upper gastrointestinal disease in the contexts of our evolving environmental exposures. Keywords focused on inhalational exposures and gastrointestinal disease. Primary search identified n = 764 studies, of which n = 64 met eligibility criteria. In particular, there was support for existing evidence that PM increases the risk of upper gastrointestinal diseases. Smoking was also confirmed to be major risk factor. Interestingly, studies in this review have also identified waterpipe use as a significant risk factor for gastroesophageal reflux and gastric cancer. Our systematic review identified inhalational exposures as risk factors for aerodigestive disease, further supporting the association between environmental exposure and digestive disease. However, due to limitations on our review’s scope, further studies must be done to better understand this interaction.

Chronic pancreatitis is a fibroinflammatory disease of the pancreas with heterogeneous clinical features and a significant socioeconomic burden. Assessing its aetiology and early diagnosis of associated complications remain challenging. Personalized therapy necessitates precise knowledge of the genetic, biological, and clinical differences within a patient population. In this context, the identification of the underlying aetiology represents an essential cornerstone. This review elucidates current standards for identifying underlying aetiologies and the diagnostic work‐up for idiopathic cases. It provides an overview of general therapeutic approaches and highlights individual treatment options. Additionally, the follow‐up management of pancreatitis‐associated complications, namely exocrine pancreatic insufficiency, post‐pancreatitis diabetes mellitus, pain management, pancreatic fluid collections, and pancreatic cancer risk, is summarized.
