stomach ulcer/vomiting

A noninvasive scintigraphic technique was used to estimate enterogastric reflux and subsequent gastric evacuation of refluxate in 35 normal, healthy subjects and 55 patients previously treated by vagotomy or partial gastrectomy. Reflux was provoked by a milk drink and quantitated by counting

A 24-year-old woman presented with a history of persistent vomiting for at least 3 months. This resulted in severe dehydration with risk of acute kidney injury. In addition to volume depletion, loss of gastric fluid resulted in a specific metabolic derangement-hypokalaemic, hypochloraemic normal

We describe a case of recurrent deterioration of renal function in a 54-year-old man who was found to have metabolic alkalosis, with a maximum PaCO(2) of 73.9 mmHg and a bicarbonate concentration of 55.3 mmol/l. He had a gradual exacerbation of nausea and vomiting due to atrophic gastritis, with a

There are few published surgical reports on peptic ulcer disease (PUD) in Ethiopia. Of 405 complicated peptic ulcer patients operated on in Tikur Anbessa Hospital, Addis Ababa, from 1997 to 2001, the records of 351 patients were retrieved and retrospectively analyzed to assess the pattern of PUD

Metaplasia represents the process of transforming a well-differentiated adult tissue into another type of adult tissue. Pancreatic metaplasia of the gastric mucosa represents the process in which the normal mucosa of the stomach is replaced with pancreatic formations, which mimic the structure of

A 42-year-old woman presented with epigastric pain and vomiting. Upper gastrointestinal endoscopy revealed three gastric ulcers. Histologic examination of biopsies from the ulcers showed cytomegalovirus inclusion bodies. The appearance of IgM antibodies to cytomegalovirus indicated a recent and

Among 600 infants examined with ultrasound for vomiting, seven (mean age, 3 months) had distinctive features that can be considered diagnostic of gastric ulcer. The findings are thickening of the mucosa (greater than 4 mm) in the antropyloric region, elongation of the antropyloric canal, persistent

OBJECTIVE To find out the significance of the Perforation-Operation Interval (POI) with respect to an early prognosis, in patients with peritonitis which is caused by peptic ulcer perforation. METHODS Case series. Place and Duration of the Study: Department of General Surgery, Konaseema Institute of

OBJECTIVE The incidence of peptic ulcer-induced gastric outlet obstruction is constantly declining. The aim of this study was to present our results in the treatment of gastric outlet obstruction with highly selective vagotomy and gastrojejunostomy. METHODS This retrospective clinical study included

A case is described where a 3-month-old boy who had osteogenesis imperfecta with multiple fractures presented with vomiting and bleeding. A gastric ulcer was diagnosed by endoscopy but could not be visualized by repeated radiography. In spite of adequate treatment with H2-antagonists and antacids

OBJECTIVE To evaluate if there was periodicity in the manifestations of gastrointestinal bleeding (hematemesis and melena). METHODS This is a multicenter prospective study carried out in the Endoscopy Units of eight hospitals. At the time of the emergency endoscopy, the following data were

It is not well known which symptoms or signs related to peptic ulcer are crucial for its diagnosis in children. In order to clarify this problem, we evaluated the sensitivity, specificity, and positive and negative predictability of 13 ulcer-related symptoms and signs. The data of 160 patients, who

Analysis of clinical data obtained in a double-blind randomized study, which compared liquid antacid (neutralizing capacity 120 mmol per day) with 1 g cimetidine in the treatment of 125 patients with gastric ulcer, revealed that, before starting treatment, 71% of the patients complained of
