Upper Gastrointestinal

Background. Peptic ulcer disease (PUD) remains one of the most prevalent gastrointestinal diseases and has been linked to Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) infection. This condition may be suspected on clinical grounds, but diagnosis is established using upper gastrointestinal endoscopy. Aims. To determine the correlation between the endoscopic and pathological findings among suspected PUD patients who have been referred for diagnostic upper gastrointestinal endoscopy in National Hospital Abuja. Methods. This is a hospital-based prospective study conducted among suspected PUD patients at National Hospital Abuja over a one-year period. Clinical, endoscopic, and histological findings were ascertained and documented. Data obtained were analyzed using SPSS version 21.0. Tests of significance were done using the chi-square test and Student t -test at 95% confidence intervals. Results. One hundred and thirty-two patients were included in the study. The ages ranged from 15 to 87 years, mean age 43.30 ± 11.94 years. Seventy-seven (58.3%) patients had abnormal endoscopic findings, of whom 37 (28.0%) had PUD. Prevalence of H. pylori infection was 42.2% and was found in 81.1% of PUD patients. H. pylori was significantly associated with confirmed PUD ( p < 0.001 ) and abnormal endoscopic findings ( p < 0.001 ). No association was found between normal endoscopic findings and histological findings ( p = 0.924 ). Conclusion. There is a poor correlation between clinical and endoscopic diagnoses of PUD. H. pylori was found to be significantly associated with PUD and abnormal endoscopic findings. Endoscopic facilities should therefore be made available and accessible for proper PUD diagnosis. Empirical treatment of H. pylori in patients with diagnosed PUD is strongly recommended.

Diagnostic upper gastrointestinal endoscopy has increased the frequency with which duodenal lipomas are encountered in clinical practice. Although the smaller lesions are usually incidental endoscopic findings unrelated to symptoms, an accurate diagnosis depends upon biopsy and histological assessment Larger lesions may bleed or obstruct. The authors present two cases: one lipoma was found incidentally during the investigation of an esophageal motility disorder; the other larger one presented as a mass lesion in a patient with upper gastrointestinal bleeding. Pathological findings suggested that the lipoma was the cause of the bleeding. Management is briefly discussed.

Introduction: Dyspepsia involves at least one of the cases of belly dysfunction after meals, early onset satiety when a person eats a normal meal, and epigastric pain or burning sensation. The aim of this study was to investigate endoscopic and pathological findings in patients referred to Imam Khomeini Hospital in Urmia, Iran. Methods: One hundred patients who complained of two different types of dyspepsia enrolled and findings were recorded during the endoscopy. Also specimens were taken from all patients during endoscopy and sent to the lab for pathological examination. Pathologic findings of all patients were recorded from Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) colonies. Results: 60 patients were women (60%) and 40 were men (40%). 67% of patients had pain type dyspepsia and 33% of them had postprandial distress type. There was no significant relationship between gender and type of dyspepsia. Endoscopy findings consisted of 54% antral gastritis, 20% peptic ulcer, 43% esophagitis (mostly includes grade A), 5% hiatal hernia, 5% gastric metaplasia, 15% prepyloric ulcer, 18% duodenal ulcer, 38% positive for H. pylori, and 1% Barrett's esophagus disease which had no significant relationship with dyspepsia. Pathologic study findings showed 38% of patients had H. pylori infection with a significant higher incidence in patients with pain type dyspepsia. Conclusion: According to this study, the incidence of any endoscopic findings in patients with two different types of dyspepsia was not significantly different, but the rate of H. pylori infection in patients with pain type dyspepsia was much more than the postprandial type.

Summary Aim: Even with careful observation, the overall false-positive rate of laparotomy remains 10-15% when acute appendicitis was suspected. Therefore, the clinical efficacy of Tc-99m HMPAO labeled leukocyte (TC-WBC) scan for the diagnosis of acute appendicitis in patients presenting with atypical clinical findings is assessed. Patients and Methods: Eighty patients presenting with acute abdominal pain and possible acute appendicitis but atypical findings were included in this study. After intravenous injection of TC-WBC, serial anterior abdominal/pelvic images at 30, 60, 120 and 240 min with 800k counts were obtained with a gamma camera. Any abnormal localization of radioactivity in the right lower quadrant of the abdomen, equal to or greater than bone marrow activity, was considered as a positive scan. Results: 36 out of 49 patients showing positive TC-WBC scans received appendectomy. They all proved to have positive pathological findings. Five positive TC-WBC were not related to acute appendicitis, because of other pathological lesions. Eight patients were not operated and clinical follow-up after one month revealed no acute abdominal condition. Three of 31 patients with negative TC-WBC scans received appendectomy. They also presented positive pathological findings. The remaining 28 patients did not receive operations and revealed no evidence of appendicitis after at least one month of follow-up. The overall sensitivity, specificity, accuracy, positive and negative predictive values for TC-WBC scan to diagnose acute appendicitis were 92, 78, 86, 82, and 90%, respectively. Conclusion: TC-WBC scan provides a rapid and highly accurate method for the diagnosis of acute appendicitis in patients with equivocal clinical examination. It proved useful in reducing the false-positive rate of laparotomy and shortens the time necessary for clinical observation.
