OBJECTIVE AND DESIGN This observational, international, multicentre study aimed to determine prospectively observed incidences of can...
INTRODUCTION Gastrointestinal (GI) endoscopy is currently performed by different specialties. Information on GI endoscopy resources in Nigeria is limited. Training, cost, availability and maintenance of equipment are some unique challenges. Despite these challenges, the quality and completion rates are important. METHODS Prospective audit of endoscopic procedures by an endoscopist in a Nigeri...
Background: Hepatitis C virus infection (HCV) is a main health problem in our country. It is thought that the transmission of hepatitis C virus (HCV) through the endoscopic procedures is a rare event. The aim of this study was to evaluate the risk of conventional disinfection in the transmission of HCV. Materials and methods: A prospective study, comprising 456 consecutive upper gastrointestin...
BACKGROUND Patients with malignant tumours of the upper gastrointestinal tract tumours exhibit important alarm symptoms such as dysphagia that warrant clinical investigations. An endoscopic examination of the upper gastrointestinal tract will be required in most cases. This study evaluates the diagnostic potential of index endoscopy in a random population of patients with dysphagia. METHODS T...
1. Apply an understanding of the pathophysiology and risk factors for upper gastrointestinal (GI) bleeding to patient care. 2. Evaluate the most recent guidelines for management and prevention of upper GI bleeding. 3. Devise a plan to effectively manage acute GI bleeding and optimize treatment responses in the individual patient. 4. Design plans for the prevention of upper GI bleeding caused by...
introduction: hypoxemia can occur during upper gastrointestinal endoscopy with or without pharmacological sedation. pulse oximetry saturation (spo2) levels were assessed in patients attending for routine unsedated diagnostic upper gastrointestinal endoscopy to identify factors associated with oxygen desaturation. methods: a total of 300 patients who underwent upper gastrointestinal endoscopy wi...

Gastric metastasis is rare but it can be the initial symptom of cancer. The second leading cause of this type of metastasis is breast cancer. A lack of clinical signs and nonspecific side effects of the treatment of primary tumors can lead to the misdiagnosis of metastatic gastric cancer. Upper gastrointestinal endoscopy with biopsy and immunohistochemistry should be used for diagnosis. Treatme...
The prodrug capecitabine (Xeloda) has been an important drug for treatment for gastrointestinal cancer (GI-cancer). This study explores the efficacy of continuous metronomic Xeloda, as well as tolerability and best response during treatment. Patients (n=35) with stage IV GI-cancer were included in the study and were divided into two groups; upper (n=13) and lower (n=22) GI-cancer. All patients ...
