BACKGROUND
Acute upper gastrointestinal (UGI) bleeding manifests as hematemesis, melena, or hematochezia. Initial management is identical, irrespective of nasogastric (NG) aspirate results. Current practice includes early upper endoscopy. Significantly fewer high-risk bleeding lesions are found on
OBJECTIVE
The utility of nasogastric aspiration and lavage in the emergency management of patients with melena or hematochezia without hematemesis is controversial. This evidence-based emergency medicine review evaluates the following question: does nasogastric aspiration and lavage in patients with
Neonates who swallow a considerable amount of maternal blood may exhibit vomiting and suckling disorder during the first few days of the postnatal period. Some clinicians treat these neonates with gastric lavage (GL) to prevent vomiting and the establishment of enteral feeding empirically, but there
A 45-year-old Mexican woman with a history of noninsulin dependent diabetes mellitus (NIDDM), hypertension, and coronary artery disease presented to the hospital after 2 months of intractable nausea, vomiting and diarrhea-all made worse by eating and drinking. She reported fever, chills, anorexia
Fibrous tumor of the stomach is a rare mesenchymal tumor composed of hyalinized fibrous tissue with spindle shaped fibroblasts. This type of tumor usually occurs in the subcutaneous tissues and the deep soft tissues. Its occurrence in stomach is extremely a rare finding and only few 'Coffee ground' vomiting (CGV) has classically been considered a sign of upper gastrointestinal bleeding. There is a paucity of data concerning endoscopic findings and outcomes in patients presenting with CGV. The aim of this study was to analyze endoscopic yield and 30-day outcomes in BACKGROUND: Eosinophilic gastritis is related to eosinophilic gastroenteritis, varying only in regards to the extent of disease and small bowel involvement. Common symptoms reported are similar to our patient's including: abdominal pain, epigastric pain, anorexia, bloating, weight loss, diarrhea,
One hundred and seven consecutive patients with hematemesis and/or melena and a diagnosis of duodenal, gastric, or esophageal ulcers were interviewed immediately before or after endoscopy about the use of non-steroid anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) and symptoms before the hemorrhage. If the
Symptoms and signs were recorded for 1007 infants younger than 6 months of age seen at home (298) or hospital (709) and correlated with four grades of illness severity. Most symptoms, present in the preceding 3 days, were associated with all grades of illness. Only four symptoms were not reported in
OBJECTIVE
Waugh syndrome (WS) is the association of intussusception and intestinal malrotation. The association is rarely reported in the literature though intussusception is a commonly encountered problem in pediatric patients as a cause of intestinal obstruction. We present our experience in 7
BACKGROUND
The study investigated clinical, radiological findings and treatment methods used in patients who developed intraabdominal hemorrhage due to chronic warfarin use.
METHODS
Eight patients receiving warfarin for cardiac valve replacement, pulmonary thromboemboli, and atrial fibrillation were
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
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
A 17-year-old boy who developed a symptomatic duodenal ulcer at 10 years of age with melena, and was then treated continuously for 6 years with ranitidine therapy that only partially controlled symptoms and peptic lesions, came to us with vomiting due to duodenal bulb stenosis and active ulcer. Four
The maxim "once an ulcer, always an ulcer" is still an appropriate description for the chronic nature of peptic ulcer disease. The goals for treating patients with ulcer disease are to relieve symptoms, heal the acute ulcer, reduce the risk of ulcer recurrence and complications, and decrease the
