The main purpose of the study is to determine resistance pattern of bacterial isolates to selected antibiotics among 88 dyspeptic patients in Iran. Frequency of infection among these patients have been evaluated among dyspeptic patients old (45 boys and 43 girls, aged 5-18 years) from 2016 to 2017.Eighty-eight patients with gastroduodenal disorders were included in the study. Urease test modifi...

Pyloric gland adenoma (PGA), also called adenoma with gastric differentiation, is a rare neoplasm of the gastric mucosa that can appear as gastric heterotopia in several organs. A 49-year-old woman presented with gastric reflux and chronic elevation of liver enzymes. She had a history of type 2 diabetes mellitus, hypothyroidism and an unspecified allergy treated with deflazacor, and a family hi...

gastroesophageal reflux disease (gerd) is the main known etiological factor for barrett’s esophagus (be), and be is the precursor lesion of esophageal adenocarcinoma. the prevalence of be is reported mostly from gastroenterology centers and there are only a few reported cases from outpatients with dyspepsia. a large number of patients with gerd have degrees of dyspepsia. this study primarily ai...

The water drink test is a good tool to evoke dyspeptic symptoms. To what extent these symptoms are related to altered gastric distribution is not clear. Therefore, we determined gastric volumes after a drink test using SPECT. After a baseline scan 20 healthy volunteers (HV) and 18 patients with functional dyspepsia (FD) underwent a drink test (100 mL min(-1)) followed by five scans up to 2 h. D...

Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) is the main known etiological factor for Barrett's esophagus (BE), and BE is the precursor lesion of esophageal adenocarcinoma. The prevalence of BE is reported mostly from gastroenterology centers and there are only a few reported cases from outpatients with dyspepsia. A large number of patients with GERD have degrees of dyspepsia. This study primarily ai...

Aim: To determine the prevalence of H. pylori and associated upper gastrointestinal lesions among dyspeptic patients seen at a tertiary health centre in northern Nigeria.Methods: One hundred and ninety two (192) dyspeptic patients undergoing upper gastrointestinal endoscopy at the Federal Medical Centre Gombe were retrospectively studied. Gastric mucosal biopsy specimens were stained with haema...

INTRODUCTION Helicobacter pylori is a gram-negative urease-producing bacterium causally linked with gastritis, peptic ulcer disease and gastric adenocarcinoma. Infection is more frequent and acquired at an earlier age in developing countries compared to European populations. The incidence of Helicobacter pylori infection in dyspeptic Ghanaian patients was 75.4%. However, epidemiological factors...

Helicobacter pylori (HP) chronic gastritis can lead to precursor stages of gastric cancer. New biological markers have been proposed to study the gastric mucosal state. We evaluate biological results in comparison with histological ones in a dyspeptic population. Forty nine dyspeptic patients underwent endoscopy with gastric biopsies for histological examination. Blood samples were obtained to ...

Functional dyspepsia is a clinical syndrome defined by chronic or recurrent symptoms of pain or discomfort centred upon the upper abdomen without a cause being identified by conventional diagnostic means. 1 The pathophysi-ology of functional dyspepsia is unknown but a number of mechanisms have been proposed, such as delayed gastric emptying, hypersensitivity to gastric distension, impaired acco...
