aim : the purpose of the present study was to evaluate the number and proportion of various causes of upper gastrointestinal bleeding and actual numbers of non-nsaid, non- helicobacter pylori ( h.pylori ) peptic ulcers seen in endoscopy of these patients. background : the number and the proportion of patients with non- h.pylori , non-nsaids peptic ulcer disease leading to upper gastrointestinal...

BACKGROUND The relation between H pylori infection and use of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) in the pathogenesis of peptic-ulcer disease is controversial. We undertook a meta-analysis to address this issue. METHODS By computer and manually we sought observational studies on the prevalence of peptic-ulcer disease in adult NSAID takers or the prevalence of H pylori infection and...

BACKGROUND Peptic ulcer etiology has been changing because of H. pylori decline. OBJECTIVES To estimate peptic ulcer prevalence in 10 years-interval and compare the association with H. pylori and use of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs. Methods Records assessment in two periods: A (1997-2000) and B (2007-2010), searching for peptic ulcer, H. pylori infection and non-steroidal anti-inflam...

This reference to haematemesis appeared in a treatise, published in 1830, by Abercrombie, first Physician to the King in Scotland. Well over a century later, and despite advancing knowledge in the fields of diagnosis and pathology, there is still considerable difficulty experienced during the acute stages of haemorrhage in identifying the cause of bleeding. In the extensive writings on the caus...

Med., 2006, 208 (4), 327-331 ── An increased seroprevalence of Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori), especially high virulent cytotoxin-associated gene-A (CagA) positive strains, has been found in many extragastrointestinal disorders. Mor...

OBJECTIVES Patients with peptic ulceration continue to present to surgeons with complications of bleeding or perforation and to die under surgical care. This study sought to examine whether improved consultant input, timely interventions and perioperative care could reduce mortality from peptic ulcer. DESIGN Prospective collection of peer-review mortality data using Scottish Audit of Surgical...

The peptic ulcer was developed at appeared recently as a contagious disease, distributed all over the world and most common cause of this disease is H.pylori. Laboratory diagnosis used to detect bacterium by several methods which include invasive non-invasive methods. . ELISA technique identify IgG, IgM, IgA antibodies against H. Pylori. All participants underwent endoscopic procedures Duhok Ci...

Peptic ulcer is a Common diseuse with potentially serious complications. Perforation of the one such complication that can be fatal if left untreated. We present rare case kissing peptic ulcers in 42-year-old patient who presented hematemesis and melena was admitted to intensive care unit hemorrhagic shock post trauma. Despite failed endoscopic hemostasis measures, successfully treated surgical...
