Recurrent lower gastrointestinal bleeding due to angiodysplasia in the rectum: endoscopic treatment with heater probe
Lower gastrointestinal bleeding due to vascular abnormalities is commonly found in the elderly and on the right side of the colon. Such lesions are still difficult to diagnose and manage. We report a case with recurrent and massive lower gastrointestinal bleeding due to angiodysplasia at an unusual age and localization, which was diagnosed and treated endoscopically.
متن کاملHEATER PROBE THERMOCOAGULATION A S A SUBSTITUTE FOR SURGICAL INTERVENTION TO ARREST MASSIVE PEPTIC ULCER BLEEDING: A CONTROLLED, PROSPECTIVE ANALYSIS OF 42 CASES
The goal of this study was to compare the effect of heater probe thermocoagulation for massive bleeding of peptic ulcers with a control group. Between March 1992 and August 1995 we used heater probe thermocoagulation endoscopically to treat 42 patients with active UGl bleeding or nonbleeding visible vessels at the base of ulcer craters within 2-3 hours of admission. We also selected 42 pati...
متن کاملPrevalence and outcome of allergic colitis in healthy infants with rectal bleeding: a prospective cohort study.
OBJECTIVES Allergic colitis is often diagnosed clinically in healthy infants with rectal bleeding and often treated with costly hypoallergenic formula. The true prevalence of allergic colitis is unknown. We tested the hypothesis that allergic colitis is overdiagnosed in healthy infants with rectal bleeding. The authors also determined whether rectal bleeding in infants without allergic colitis ...

it may be an underestimate of the actual resolution rate, because a large number of eligible patients declined diagnostic food challenges. The results of this study should encourage regular follow-up of children with TN allergy and consideration, when clinically indicated, for physician-supervised oral food challenges to determine the possibility of resolution. Because these oral food challenge...
