Haemorrhage via the pancreatic duct, a rare cause of upper gastrointestinal bleeding (GIB), often poses a diagnostic dilemma. We analysed our experience with 10 patients (8 men, 2 women; mean age 44 years, range 34-62) treated during a 12 year period. All had a history of alcohol abuse and presented with major upper GIB requiring a median of 8 units (range 2-40) blood transfusion. Nine had uppe...

The pattern of transpyloric fluid movement and associated antroduodenal motility was compared in patients with gastro-oesophageal reflux (GOR) and healthy controls using real time ultrasonic imaging. A similar number of cyclical periods of antroduodenal motor activity (GOR 94 and control 91) was studied in each group. Mean antral cycle times and the frequency of occurrence of related proximal d...

In addition to inhibiting cyclooxygenase and prostaglandin, nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) may cause gastroduodenal injuries due to reactive oxygen species produced by recruited inflammatory cells. DA-9601 is a novel antioxidant with anti-inflammatory and cyto-protective effects. This study was conducted to compare the efficacy and safety of DA-9601 with misoprostol for preventin...

PURPOSE The present study aims to elucidate the treatment strategies of laparoscopic resection for gastroduodenal submucosal tumors (SMTs). METHODS Data of 125 gastroduodenal STMs were collected retrospectively resected from August, 2004 to February, 2013. Surgical outcomes according to tumor locations, pathologic results and survival data for gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GISTs) were coll...

OBJECTIVES The pain intensity of patients with FM has recently been reported to be correlated with the degree of small intestinal bacterial overgrowth (SIBO). SIBO is often associated with an increased intestinal permeability (IP). Increased IP, if shown in FM, may have pathogenetic relevance because it leads to the exposure of immune cells to luminal antigens and consequent immune modulation. ...

Although salicylate and non-aspirin, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs cause acute injury to the gastroduodenal mucosa,`~their role during long term treatment in predisposing to peptic ulcer disease and clinically important complications remains uncertain.4'" Common criticisms of existing studies include inadequate design,' investigating young volunteers rather than older patients, examinin...

we studied the relationship between gastroduodenal inflammation and the presence of campylobaeter pylori from biopsy specimens of the gastric mucosa in 91 patients with gastritis with or without ulcers and 9 controls, healthy or suffering from other diseases. 68 of the patients were positive for the presence of c. pylori in their gastric mucosa. c. pylori was confirmed bacteriohistologically in...

The etiology of gastric antral vascular ectasia (GAVE) and hyperplastic polyps (HP) is not fully understood, but there is no known overlap. We report a case of gastroduodenal HP arising in a patient treated for GAVE.

New endoscopic and endovascular therapies have revolutionised the management of complex traumatic visceral aneurysms. A pseudoaneurysm of the gastroduodenal artery following penetrating abdominal trauma was successfully managed by selective angiographic embolisation.

Abstract INTRODUCTION Perforated gastroduodenal ulcer represents a common surgical emergency and is associated with morbimortality close to 40-50%. HP infection, tobacco alcohol some socioeconomic aspects represent the most commonly described risk factors. MATERIAL AND METHODS A descriptive retrospective study was performed between 2018-2020. total of 40 patients history perforation were select...
