Diff between pancreatic fluid collection and pancreatic pseudocyst?
Emmanchina
Pancreatic pseudocyst is a type of pancreatic fluid collection. There are many different types of pancreatic fluid collections: simple pancreatic cyst (congenital), Walled off Pancreatic Necrosis ( WOPN ), acute pseudocyst, chronic pseudocyst, pancreatic abscess, and cystic neoplasms, for example.

What is the thin watery fluid that occurs between the pleural membranes called?
Pleural fluid is the fluid that's located between the pleural membranes that cover the lungs. If too much fluid builds up, it's called a pleural effusion.
What is similar to the cerebospinal fluid?
Something called interstitial fluid. This found between cells and tissues.
What is a pseudocyst?
This occurs when dead pancreatic tissue, blood, white blood cells, enzymes, and fluid that has leaked from the circulatory system accumulates.
Is pancreatic fluid an enzyme?
Pancreatic juice produced by pancreas is an enzyme
Pancreatic pseudocyst?
DefinitionA pancreatic pseudocyst is a fluid-filled sac in the abdomen, which may also contain tissue from the pancreas, pancreatic enzymes, and blood.Causes, incidence, and risk factorsThe pancreas is an organ located behind the stomach that produces chemicals (called enzymes) needed to digest food. It also produces the hormones insulin and glucagon.Pancreatic pseudocysts most often develop after an episode of severe, acute pancreatitis. Acute pancreatitis is sudden swelling (inflammation) of the pancreas.It may also occur after trauma to the abdomen, more often in children.The cyst happens when the ducts (tubes) in the pancreas are damaged by the inflammation or swelling that occurs during pancreatitis.A pancreatic pseudocyst may also occur after trauma to the abdomen, and in someone with chronic pancreatitis.SymptomsSymptoms can occur within days to months after an attack of pancreatitis, and include:Bloating of the abdomenConstant pain or deep ache in the abdomen, which may also be felt in the backDifficulty eating and digesting foodSigns and testsThe health care provider may palpate your abdomen to feel for a pseudocyst, which feels like a mass in the middle or left upper abdomen.Tests that may help diagnose pancreatic pseudocyst include:Abdominal CT scanAbdominal MRIAbdominal ultrasoundTreatmentTreatment depends on the size of the pseudocyst and whether it is causing symptoms. Many pseudocysts go away on their own. Those that remain for more than 6 weeks and are larger than 5 cm in diameter often need surgery.Surgical treatments include:Drainage through the skin (percutaneous) using a needle, usually guided by a CT scanEndoscopic-assisted drainage using an endoscope (a tube containing a camera and a light that is passed down into the stomach)Surgical drainage of the pseudocyst, which involves making a connection between the cyst and the stomach or small intestine. This may be done using a laparoscope.Expectations (prognosis)The outcome is generally good with treatment.ComplicationsA pancreatic abscess can develop if the pseudocyst becomes infectedThe pseudocyst can break open (rupture), which can be a serious complication because shock and excess bleeding (hemorrhage) may developThe pseudocyst may press down on (compress) nearby organsCalling your health care providerRupture of the pseudocyst is an emergency situation. Go to the emergency room or call the local emergency number (such as 911) if you develop symptoms of bleeding or shock, such as:FaintingFever and chillsRapid heartbeatSevere abdominal painPreventionThe way to prevent pancreatic pseudocysts is is by preventing pancreatitis. If pancreatitis is caused by gallstones, it is usually necessary to remove the gallbladder with surgery (cholecystectomy). When pancreatitis occurs due to alcohol abuse, the patient must stop drinking alcohol to prevent future attacks.ReferencesOwyang C. Pancreatitis.

What is pericholecystic fluid collection?
Pericholecystic means around the gallbladder, so a pericholecystic fluid collection is a collection of fluid around the gallbladder.
Which duct carries a fluid rich in bicarbonate ions?
pancreatic duct
Why is it important for the pancreas to release bicarbonate into the small intestine?
It is important for the pancreas to release bicarbonate into the small intestine because the pancreatic fluid flows into the small intestines. The pancreatic fluid consists of enzymes that chemically digest chyme and contains bicarbonate which neutralizes the acid in chyme. So in order for the stomach to chemically digest the food it has to have the pancreatic fluid.
What can x-rays show in the diagnosis of pancreatitis?
Computed tomography scans (CT scans) of the abdomen may reveal the inflammation and fluid accumulation of pancreatitis, and may also be useful when complications like an abscess or a pseudocyst are suspected.
What biological fluid does not fall into the 6-8 pH range?
Stomach Acid Pancreatic Fluid (actually, someone else put that at 8.1). It is what neutralizes the acid. vaginal fluid
What is bilster?
Did you mean blister? A collection of fluid between the outermost 2 layers of the skin - caused by physical or chemical injury
What is the medical term meaning abnormal accumulation of fluid within the epidermis or between the epidermis and the dermis?
Edema is swelling due to a collection of fat and/or fluid under the skin.
What is medical term meaning excessive accumulation of interstitial fluid?
Edema means collection of fluid in the tissues. Edema is fluid accumulation in tissues which is common in patients with renal disorders, congestive heart failure and patients with preeclampsia. Edema is an accumulation of interstitial fluid, or fluid between cells in the tissue.
What happens to the mastoid when the middle ear retains fluid?
The mastoid is connected with the middle ear, so that when there is a collection of fluid in the middle ear, there is usually also a slight collection of fluid within the airspaces of the mastoid.
