BACKGROUND
In type 1 multiple endocrine neoplasia (MEN1), esophageal diseases association with excessive gastrin secretion in Zollinger-Ellison syndrome (ZES) sometimes develop. Here, we reported a case of MEN1/ZES, who developed dysphagia due to reflux esophagitis with severe esophageal stricture.
Aclacinomycin A (ACM) is different from other anthracycline antibiotics in its antitumor activity and clinical effect. We report a case of acute promyelocytic leukemia complicated with severe esophageal ulcer by BH-AC . AMP therapy. The patient was 24 years old. In 1983, he achieved complete
A non-dilatable benign stricture of the esophagus is a problem for the patient and always a challenge for the surgeon. The present study is intended to provide some details of surgical technique and the physiological concept that constitutes the basis for patient selection for short-segment
Omeprazole efficacy and tolerance were evaluated in 20 patients with longstanding Zollinger-Ellison syndrome (ZES) committed to long-term antisecretory therapy. The study included 13 men and 7 women, aged 53 (30-74) years (median and range). Nineteen patients presented with epigastric pain, 14 with
We studied 14 patients with PSS, 12 females and 2 males with a mean age of 43.6 and a medium of 8 years disease. All of the patients were selected for this study according to updated ARA criteria and were included in a prospective protocol to investigate digestive involvement. This protocol consists
Purpose: In East Asian countries, there are only a few epidemiologic studies of eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE) and no studies in children. We investigated the incidence and compared the clinical characteristics of EoE and eosinophilic gastroenteritis involving the
OBJECTIVE
Preclinical findings suggest that adding targeted therapies to combination radiation-chemotherapy can enhance treatment efficacy; however, this approach may enhance normal tissue toxicity. We investigated the maximum tolerated dose, dose-limiting toxicities, and response rate when the
BACKGROUND

METHODS
PubMed® was searched for terms "Barrett's esophagus" and "children". End points were age of patients, etiology, association with other syndromes,
The effectiveness of cimetidine vs. antacid in the treatment of patients with scleroderma and symptomatic reflux esophagitis was studied in a double-blind cross-over controlled trial. Fifteen patients were initially randomized to either cimetidine (300 mg four times daily) with placebo antacid, or
Overlap in the clinical presentation of pediatric granulomatous inflammatory bowel disease may be substantial, depending on the mode of presentation. Chronic granulomatous disease (CGD) may present with granulomatous colitis, perianal abscesses, hepatic abscesses or granulomas, failure to thrive,
Thirteen patients with advanced gastric cancer treated by palliative radiotherapy were retrospectively analyzed. The radiation sites were abdominal cavities in 8 cases, superficial masses in 5 and lung metastasis in one. The purposes were to diminish mass size in 5 cases, to relieve pain in 3 and to
We prospectively studied 235 patients with Zollinger-Ellison syndrome (ZES) (205 without and 30 with prior acid-reducing surgery) and compared the results with 984 patients from 182 reports in the literature. The aims of the study were to evaluate the sensitivity of proposed acid secretory criteria
X-linked hyper IgM (XHIM) syndrome is a rare congenital immunodeficiency disease caused by failure of B cell to isotype switch from IgM to other classes of immunoglobulins in response to infections. Recently, a molecular cloning of the gene responsible for the syndrome, the CD40L gene has been
We prospectively evaluated the initial presenting symptoms in 261 patients with Zollinger-Ellison syndrome (ZES) over a 25-year period. Twenty-two percent of the patients had multiple endocrine neoplasia-type 1 (MEN-1) with ZES. Mean age at onset was 41.1 +/- 0.7 years, with MEN-1 patients
Although dysphagia is common, there is limited information about the prevalence and burden of illness of dysphagia in the United States. We performed a population-based survey of more than 31,000 adults to evaluate the epidemiology, clinical characteristics, and healthcare-seeking
