helicobacter pylori is a gram-negative, spiral-shaped, microaerophilic organism that colonizes the stomach of humans and causes chronic-active gastritis, peptic ulcer disease, and gastric cancers, including adenocarcinoma of the stomach and malt (mucosal-associated lymphoid tumor) lymphomas. h. pylori colonizes the stomach of over 50 % the world’s human population, primarily those who reside in...

The present study compared in vivo protein digestion a miniature pig model with the dynamic vitro system DiDGI®, using three digestive compartments (stomach, duodenum, and jejunum + ileum). Two soya-based meals—commercial soya milk tofu—were studied, each same macronutrient content but different macrostructures. Our aim was to first deduce from experiments pigs key parameters such as gastric pH...

Pancreatic heterotopia is a rare, unusual finding where pancreatic tissues are found out of the normal anatomical location. Various studies have documented an incidence 0.5 to 13% in autopsy. The reports on presence with estimated be around 0.2% all upper gastrointestinal surgeries. heterotopic pancreas occurs frequnetly stomach, duodenum and proximal jejunum. Remote cases Meckel's diverticulum...

Background: Gastrointestinal Stromal Tumor (GIST) arises from the interstitial cells of Cajal. Stomach is most common site GIST. The usual presentations GIST are gastrointestinal bleeding and abdominal pain. GISTs in duodenum uncommon. Duodenal obstruction due to even more usually detected on endoscopy, however they can be missed routine endoscopy if located third part duodenum. Computed Tomogr...

A giant bezoar fulfilling the stomach, duodenum and jejunum for about 60–70 cm was found in a young girl with autism spectrum disorder, admitted acute abdominal pain. At initial radiological evaluation an intestinal ilea-ileal intussusception diagnosed but computed tomography showed hypointense material chambered aspect likely due to accidental ingestion of exogenous material. The presence endo...

Distant metastasis from primary lung cancer is mostly seen in the liver, brain, adrenal glands and bones. Small bowel, specifically duodenum a relatively unusual site for distant carcinoma. This case reports rare scenario of upper gastrointestinal bleeding caused by duodenal adenocarcinoma. A 43-year-old woman presented to emergency department with complaints progressive hemoptysis past three w...

astric carcinoma is a malignant disease, which starts in the stomach. Despite declining incidence still remains the second cause of death of all malignancies worldwide. It is a major health problem for two reasons: In Asia, East Europe and developing countries the incidence decreases slowly. In USA and West Europe although incidence decreases sharply, mortality of diagnosed gastric cancer remai...
