Controversy exists as to whether or not duodenitis alone can cause peptic ulcer symptoms. A modified provocation perfusion test has been performed in 10 symptomatic patients with duodenitis confirmed by endoscopy and histology. The test was conducted without the patient being aware of whether 0.1 N
Cytomegalovirus(CMV) disease is a major cause of morbidity and mortality in immunocompromised patients. CMV enteritis should be considered when nausea and vomiting continue 3 to 4 weeks after bone marrow transplantation(BMT). The treatment of CMV enteritis is not well established. We report a CMV
Cryptosporidial oocyst infection is a common cause of diarrhea in patients with AIDS. Concomitant symptoms can include crampy abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, and anorexia. Esophagogastroduodenoscopy is then useful for delineating potentially treatable pathogens. We report a case of cryptosporidial
Duodenal nodularity is an uncommon endoscopic finding charac-trized by numerous visible mucosal nodules in the duodenum. It is important to consider giardiasis in patients with symptoms include abdominal pain, nausea, anorexia, diarrhea, vomiting, weight loss and abdominal distension. It is also

OBJECTIVES: To make a comparative analysis of clinical and endoscopic data in peptic disease in a group of children (CR) and adolescents (AD).MATERIAL AND METHODS: 30 children and 76 adolescents with peptic disease were studied between August 1992 and November 1994. In all cases the diagnosis was
We sought to determine the cause of gastrointestinal (GI) intolerance of a ketogenic diet (KD) using an endoscopic investigation, and to examine the relationship between endoscopic lesions and dietary tolerance. Thirty-five patients were enrolled in this study and underwent gastrofiberscopy prior to
BACKGROUND
Mycophenolate mofetil (MMF) has been shown to have promise in short-term liver transplantation graft rescue studies. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the long-term efficacy and safety of MMF in liver transplant patients who had failed cyclosporine (CsA)-based conventional
OBJECTIVE
Dyspeptic symptoms may not allow clinicians to differentiate organic and functional gastrointestinal disorders. According to our dyspeptic patients' answers to dyspepsia questionnaire, we aimed to define the symptom scores directing organic dyspepsia (OD) before upper gastrointestinal
Russell bodies represent a cellular response to overstimulation of plasma cells, leading to the accumulation of abundant, nondegradable, condensed immunoglobulin in dilated rough endoplasmic reticulum cisternae. Russell body gastritis was first described 1998 by Tazawa and Tsutsumi. Since then only
We report the case of a 59-year-old man who was treated with intraarterial chemotherapy for metastatic colonic adenocarcinoma. After the second course he developed persistent symptoms of nausea, vomiting, and pain. Endoscopic examination demonstrated severe erosive gastritis and duodenitis, and
Methyl tert-butyl ether (MTBE) has been recently proposed as a new therapeutic modality for the dissolution of cholesterol gallstones. To further evaluate efficacy and tolerability of this new litholytic agent, we have administered MTBE to 3 patients with nonobstructive radiolucent common bile duct
