duodenitis/nausea

A 64-year-old man was found to have a nodule in his right lung. He also complained of nausea and abdominal pain during the clinical course. Esophagogastroduodenoscopy revealed a duodenal ulcer associated with severe stenosis and a suspicion of malignancy. However, three subsequent biopsies revealed

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

Dyspepsia, defined as chronic or recurrent upper abdominal pain or nausea, is a common occurrence. Dyspepsia without an ulcer (non-ulcer dyspepsia) is diagnosed in patients at least twice as often as peptic ulceration. Diseases that may present with similar symptoms include gastroesophageal reflux,

BACKGROUND Unsedated esophagoscopy with ultrathin endoscopes is a valuable screening modality for Barrett's esophagus, but the stomach and the duodenum cannot be examined completely with the smallest and best tolerated of these endoscopes. There are no data as to how often disease in the stomach and

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

OBJECTIVE Our purpose was to characterize the occurrence of gastrointestinal (GI) events among women on oral bisphosphonate therapy. METHODS This was a retrospective cohort study that used a United States (US) claims database. The study period was from January 1, 2000, to December 31, 2011. The
