Strongyloides stercoralis is an intestinal nematode with a complex life cycle capable of a free living cycle, a parasitic cycle and autoinfection. It is usually asymptomatic in a healthy host but causes life threatening hyperinfection involving multiple organs in immunocompromised patients. However, reports of gastric involvement are very rare. This is a report of gastric strongyloidiasis with ...

AIM We evaluated patients with gastric volvulus secondary to diaphragmatic pathology. MATERIALS AND METHODS Eight patients (5 males and 3 females) presented to the author in a tertiary care center during 1997-2006 were analyzed in terms of age, sex, symptomatology, diagnosis and predisposing factors. OBSERVATIONS Six had an acute presentation and rest had chronic symptomatology. The two pat...

Helicobacter pylori (HP) infection is one of the most frequent bacterial infections in humans. The studies performed in the last 30 years showed that this bacterium is the main cause of chronic gastritis and the main etiological agent of peptic ulcer and gastric cancer. We investigated the prevalence of HP infection in a group of 1525 patients who addressed a gastroenterology medical center bet...

BACKGROUND Helicobacter pylori chronic infection is associated with chronic gastritis, peptic ulcer, and gastric cancer. Cytotoxin-associated gene A (cagA)-positive H. pylori strains increase the risk of gastric pathology. The carcinogenic potential of CagA is linked to its polymorphic EPIYA motif variants. The goals of this study were to investigate the frequency of cagA-positive Helicobacter ...

UNLABELLED Gastric cancer with the annual mortality of 700 000 is the second cause of death in the world. Iran with the annual incidence of 37 in 100 000 is among areas with high risk of gastric cancer. In Iran, Khuzestan Province with the annual incidence of 10 -15 in 100 000 is among areas with moderate risk. The role of Helicobacter pylori infection in distal gastric cancer as one of the mos...

Background. Peptic ulcer is a prevalent gastrointestinal tract disease worldwide. One of the treatment methods for indicated pathology trunk gastric cryodenervation (TGC), feature which preservation regenerative potential n. vagus. Cryopreserved placenta extract (CPE) caught our attention among modern means capable stimulating regeneration processes. Objective. We are aimed to characterize stat...

AIM To investigate the clinicopathologic features which predict surgical overall survival in patients with proximal gastric carcinoma involving the esophagus (PGCE). METHODS Electronic pathology database established in the Department of Pathology of the Nanjing Drum Tower Hospital was searched for consecutive resection cases of proximal gastric carcinoma over the period from May 2004 through ...

Background: Gastric disorders are responsible for a great deal of mortality and morbidity one the most common encountered problems in clinical practice. H. Pylori infection is majority acid peptic disease also known carcinogen. Intestinal metaplasia considered precancerous lesion. We studied incidence pylori mucin histochemistry different gastric lesions.
 Methods: This study was conducted...
